6. Rowan Atkinson as Zazu from ‘The Lion King’
The famous British actor, Rowan Atkinson has a vast resume. Besides giving life to iconic character Mr. Bean, Atkinson is also known for his performance as Blackadder.
However, he may not be so recognized as the dignified blue bird in The Lion King.
Atkinson’s expressive eyebrows and mouth are two features that make him particularly distinct.
The bird is proper and dignified, though a little nervous and jumpy, and has a dry sense of humor.
Originally Nathan Lane auditioned for the part of Zazu, but we are thankful that the part went to Rowan Atkinson who really brought the character together.
