Atkinson first gained attention with Not the Nine O’Clock News, a satirical sketch show that showcased his sharp wit and unique comedic style. This success paved the way for his lead role in Blackadder, a historical sitcom where Atkinson portrayed the cunning and sardonic Edmund Blackadder across different time periods. In 1990, Atkinson created Mr. Bean, a character that would define his career. The near-silent, physical comedy of Mr. Bean became a global sensation, appealing to audiences of all ages and cultures. The series aired in over 190 countries, and the character continues to entertain through movies, animated series, and digital platforms.
