Did rowan atkinson's career crash and burn after blackadder?

[Skitarii]

I liked the charm of mr bean, but not to the point where my perception of atkinson is based around it. It'd be nice to see him play witty, cynical roles again; maybe as Q in a james bond parody

 

[Red Hood]

He's already been in a James Bond parody. Like three of them.

I quite enjoyed Johnny English and Mr. Bean's Holiday (itself a nice homage to M. Hulot's Holiday).

Johnny English made older and younger audiences want to see Mr. Bean again, even while the Johnny English movies were a James Bond parody. If anything, I think he made them more relevant the same way how John Cleese made Monty Python jokes more realistic in current day.

Man vs Bee legitimately looks funny.

You will watch it and you will be happy.

Honestly Johnny English was more worthwhile to me than the last 20 years of Bond movies which feel like they're spinning their wheels.

 

[Idiot Doom Spiral]

Maybe in the traditional sense of forthcoming roles.

But I understand that Mr. Bean royalties across the world rake in so much money for RA that it will keep him in luxury cars and young wives for aeons.

Say what you want about his role in Blackadder but Mr.Bean is what got him in the Olympics

 

[Kulee Baba]

I wish I could just watch Blackadder without laugh track. Not sure if it was actually filmed before a live audience but it just put me off on the show.

He crashed a McLaren F1 a couple times. Kinda rad.

 

[Furina]

Dude's practically a national treasure and he lives the life he wants. I think he's doing just fine.

I've seen a few interviews with Rowan Atkinson and I get the impression that acting was just a hobby for him that turned into a career, rather than something he was really passionate about. It's fun for him and he enjoys it, so he does it, but he's not trying to be the best actor or most awarded actor, which is why I think he always stuck to light-hearted stuff.

Aren't those Johnny English films, mostly ignored in North America (not so sure about England), ridiculously popular in less obvious overseas markets like Malaysia?

 

[Kacho]

Rowan was actually in the 'unofficial' Bond film 'Never Say Never Again'

 

[Chad Holdenford]

No way. He was a key feature in one of the best movies ever, Hot Shots Part Deux. Just for that, he deserves eternal praise and a place in the hall of immortal artists.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Nothing he has done since Blackadder Goes Forth has reached those heights.

 

[Pixy]

Spider-Plant Man was pure kino.

 

[batigol]

The Thin Blue Line was pretty damn good, not Blackadder good but better than Mr Bean.

 

[Articles and Nudes]

Him and David Mitchell are two actors I want to see play a legitimate, threatening villain for once.

 

[Russian Bot]

He's both rich and based. National treasure. Here's him talking about free speech.

 

[Aunt Marge]

Man vs Bee legitimately looks funny.

You will watch it and you will be happy.

I will feel less guilty about watching now due to Netflix's recent shift, but not enough to stop me pirating it.

I always hated his Mr Bean character and didn't found him funny at all, His Rowan Atkinson/Blackadder however i adore.
His stand up shows are marvelous,
