John Cleese
John Cleese is an English actor, comedian, and writer, best known as a founding member of Monty Python's Flying Circus and for the sitcom Fawlty Towers.
His tall frame and clipped delivery became iconic in British comedy.
Cleese's humor often satirizes pomposity, bureaucracy, and English reserve: He did the silly walk from that John Cleese sketch.
