The British funnyman is also renowned as being the tallest man in film. Beginning his career as a member of the Monty Python crew and then as the mad Basil in Fawlty Towers. Although Fawlty Towers is one of the most often repeated programme on television John Cleese is only seen in movies (except for his recent "failures" in adverts!). His two hit movies, A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures both starred the Monty Python crew and Jamie Lee Curtis. The various roles he has played, such as a lawyer, teacher, zoo keeper and hotel manager, all mount down to the same character who seems rotten at first but overtime you begin to feel sorry for him - this with his moustache are his trademarks.
