Answer : ERIC IDLE
Eric Idle (born March 29, 1943) is a British actor, comedian and screenwriter, best remembered as a member of Monty Python, though he has also written and acted in other projects, such as The Rutles.
Within Monty Python Idle was the only member who worked alone. The other members wrote in duos, but Idle always preferred working independently and didn’t mind learning a lot of dialogue for it. He often played reporters, naïve innocents or cheeky jerks. Some of the most popular Python sketches include him, including “Nudge Nudge”. Idle is also an accomplished singer-songwriter and wrote many of the group’s songs together with Neil Innes (The Bonzo Dog Band). Their signature song, “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, originally from Life of Brian, was written and sung by Idle.
Idle’s most successful non-Python projects have been the comedic TV series Do Not Adjust Your Set, Splitting Heirs, Rutland Weekend Television and the spin-off The Rutles, and the comedy film Nuns on the Run. Apart from that he appears often in cameo roles in American films and sitcoms, including Frasier, Suddenly Susan and The Simpsons. He also wrote a science fiction comedy thriller called The Road to Mars.
Idle also wrote the successful stage musical Spamalot, a cash-in on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which has sold many tickets around the world, but received criticism for “selling out”, not the least among some of the other Pythons.
