Tweedy Stephen Fry is an English national treature and something of a Renaissance man. On top of his work in comedy, he's a playwright, author, voice actor, documentarian and quizmaster! Being gay and bipolar himself, he's done work raising awareness for mental health and gay rights. The man is accomplished, is my point-- Whether you realize or not, he's probably brushed up against a piece of media you've familiar with!
He's not without his issues, but I've grown a deep appreciation for Stephen Fry! His love of literature, culture, knowledge, and the English language is infectuous!
Fry has a great onscreen presence. It's no argument that between the two, he's the lesser actor, but I always delight in the attention his performance demands. He's easily typecast as the anal, posh, and pompous (kings, generals, pr agents...etc). Fry's acting work isn't worth any thinkpieces, but he's always fun.
I hope it's not obvious, but Fry is my favorite! He's been a big inspiration in getting me back into reading, writing, and learning.
I also think he's pretty cute.
