John Cleese
John Marwood Cleese (nacido el 27 de octubre de 1939) es un actor, cómico, escritor y productor de cine inglés. Alcanzó el éxito en el Festival Fringe de Edimburgo y como guionista e intérprete en The Frost Report. A finales de la década de 1960 se convirtió en miembro de Monty Python, la compañía de comedia responsable del programa de sketches Monty Python's Flying Circus y de las cuatro películas de Monty Python: And Now for Something Completely Different, Holy Grail, Life of Brian y The Meaning of Life. A mediados de la década de 1970, Cleese y su primera esposa, Connie Booth, coescribieron y protagonizaron la comedia británica Fawlty Towers. Más tarde, coprotagonizó con Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis y su antiguo colega de los Python, Michael Palin, A Fish Called Wanda y Fierce Creatures. También protagonizó Clockwise, y ha aparecido en muchas otras películas, como dos de James Bond, dos de Harry Potter y tres de Shrek. Con el guionista de Yes Minister, Antony Jay, cofundó la productora Video Arts, encargada de hacer películas de entretenimiento para la formación.
