Dudley Moore

Dudley Moore (1935–2002) was an English actor, comedian, and musician who rose to fame as half of the comedy duo Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

He later became a Hollywood star in films like *10* and *Arthur*, often playing bumbling, lovelorn characters whose charm overcame their shortcomings.

Standing 5'2", Moore made his diminutive stature part of his comic persona.

He was also a classically trained pianist.
