Simon Bird
Simon Bird was one of the most recognizable faces on British television, making people laugh since his days as an undergrad at the University of Cambridge. It was his role as the sardonic Will McKenzie on "The Inbetweeners" (E4 2008-10) that really launched him into the national spotlight. The show ran for three successful seasons, with Bird reprising his role as McKenzie in a film version called "The Inbetweeners Movie" (2011). Once "The Inbetweeners" ended its three-season run, Bird continued to appear in various British sitcoms like "Friday Night Dinner" (Channel 4 2011- ) and "Chickens" (Sky1 2013- ), thus underscoring his already growing status as one of Britain's most prolific comedic actors.
