Q: I love "Mr Bean." What was Rowan Atkinson's first movie?
Mr. Bean, the character Rowan Atkinson is most famous for by far, once tried to feed his friends sugar and vinegar because he forgot to buy champagne. He also once tried to paint his apartment by placing a paint can in the middle of the room and dropping in a stick of dynamite. But none of that assorted strangeness prepared me for this even weirder fact: Rowan Atkinson's first big-screen role was in a Bond movie.

Q: What is Cary Elwes doing these days? He was poised to be a leading man, but that seems to have fizzled.
On the contrary, Cary Elwes is in the midst of a full-on career renaissance.
You're absolutely right that his leading-man momentum seemed to run out of steam in the '90s. It started with 1987's "The Princess Bride" and maybe peaked with 1993's "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," but it slowed pretty rapidly so that by the '00s he was doing supporting roles in relatively low-profile films. His biggest role at the time was a recurring support in the gruesome, schlocky Saw horror franchise.
