Thursday, January 6, 1955. : English comedian Rowan Atkinson was born Rowan Sebastian Atkinson was born on 6 January 1955, in Consett, County Durham, England. After being educated at Durham Choristers School, followed by St Bees School, he studied electrical engineering at Newcastle University. He continued with an MSc at The Queen's College, Oxford, first achieving notice at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1976. At Oxford, he also acted and performed early sketches for the Oxford University Dramatic Society, the Oxford Revue and the Experimental Theatre Club. Atkinson's film career began in 1983 with a supporting part in the James Bond movie Never Say Never Again and a leading role in Dead on Time with Nigel Hawthorne, after which he earned roles in several more films. His TV career launched with the show, "Not the Nine o'clock News". This led to his starring in the relatively successful medieval sitcom The Black Adder. However, Atkinson's real fame came with his role as Mr. Bean, first appearing on New Year's Day in 1990. Sometimes compared to a modern-day Charlie Chaplin, Mr Bean still continues to captivate audiences around the world as he has become caught in a variety of unusual, difficult or compromising circumstances. ![]() ![]() Rowan Atkinson made a record car insurance claim after crashing a supercar near Peterborough.
