Yes, he is the well-known Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean is the main character in the British comedy television series of the same name. It was written by Rowan Atkinson, Robin Driscoll, Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. The first episode(幕，插曲) was shown on 1st January 1990 and its final episode Good night, Mr. Bean was shown on 31st October 1995. During its five-year run, the series gained a large audience in the UK and throughout the world. People are most amused by the antics(古怪滑稽的动作) of Mr. Bean—a child in a grown mans body. Mr. Bean often seems short of worldly(善于处事的) experience. The program usually features his attempts to complete what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going swimming or taking an exam. But he is quite not clever in dealing with the problems presented to him each time, such as not knowing a single answer in an exam, changing into his swimsuit at the beach without removing his pants first, and so on. The humour largely comes from his original solutions to any problem and his total disregard for others when solving them. The role of Mr. Bean is played by Rowan Atkinson—an Oxford University graduate. Atkinson is considered to be a great comedian in the style of Charlie Chaplin. In all of his shows, he successfully portrays a typically conservative(保守的) man from the British middle class. People are very impressed by his humour. If you enjoy Mr. Bean, please enjoy his shows. —Mr. Bean! 判断正误(T/F)。 1．Mr. Bean usually amuses his audience with his funny action and seldom with words.
