  John Bird (actor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Bird (born November 22, 1936) is a British satirist, actor and comedian.
During the 1970s, when Idi Amin was at the height of his fame, Bird starred on a popular recording (The Colleckerted [sic] Broadcasts of Idi Amin) based on Alan Coren's anti-Idi Punch columns.
He is best known in the UK for his work with John Fortune and Rory Bremner.

John Travolta is one of only a few Hollywood actors who can honestly say he has just about seen and done it all.
Recently, John sat down with me in Philadelphia to talk about getting in shape for his role in the film, his reflections on his career and the possibility of returning to his musical roots.
So, the two surprises of John McTiernan was that he had that background and that he was an actor’s director because of his theater experience.

 Welland, Colin
Colin Welland is widely respected both as an actor and as a writer for television, the cinema, and the stage.
Perhaps the most memorable image from Welland's lengthy career as a television actor came in 1979, when he was one of a first-class cast that was chosen to appear in Dennis Potter's award-winning play Blue Remembered Hills, which recalled the long-lost days of his own childhood.
In company with Helen Mirren, Michael Elphick, Colin Jeavons and John Bird, among others, all of whom were adults playing the roles of young children, Welland cavorted gleefully around woods and fields, his bulk grotesquely crammed into a pair of boy's shorts.
