Description
Like many young comedy-bound Britons, John Cleese was inspired by the legendary Peter Sellers, as well as Marty Feldman. He attended Cambridge to study Law, but his real love was comedy. So he devoted a great deal of time to the university’s legendary Footlights group, writing and performing in comedy reviews, which ultimately led him to Monty Python's Flying Circus.
For decades after he appeared in movies such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian, Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. He wrote and starred in the TV series Fawlty Towers and the film A Fish Called Wanda in 1988. His acting career continues with movies including roles in both the Harry Potter and the James Bond film series.
