Mr. Bean
Mr. Beanis a British comedy television series,
starring Rowan Atkinson. The program was produced by Tiger Television, a company in which
Atkinson has a stake. It is written by Atkinson,
Robin Driscoll and Richard Curtis. The first episode was broadcasted on 1 January 1990, with
the final episode, “Goodnight, Mr. Bean,” on 31
October 1995.
In the show, Atkinson plays a selfish, sometimes ingenious buffoon who
frequently gets into hilarious situations due to his various schemes and
contrivances.
The show relies upon physical comedy, with very little dialogue. It features Mr. Bean trying to undertake what would normally be considered simple
tasks, such as going swimming, redecorating, or taking an exam. One of his
acts, most beloved by fans, is stuffing a turkey and getting it stuck on his head.
The humor largely comes from his original solutions to any problems, and a
total disregard for others when solving them.

Mr. Bean is the only significant character in the program. Other characters
exist simply as foils for his various antics, and besides the star, there is only one

recurring supporting character: his sometime “girlfriend” Irma Gobb (played
by Matilda Ziegler).
More humorously, perhaps, he acts as a character who is always having odd
things happen to him. However, the producers of the show claim that it is intended to show his status as an ordinary man cast into the spotlight. Regardless
of meaning, this is clear: Mr. Bean is alone in the world, is frequently childlike,
and often seems unaware of basic aspects of the way the world works.

Interview to Daddy Yankee
riotsound.com: Daddy Yankee, tell us about your life before you became an
artist.
Daddy Yankee: I was born Raymond Ayala. I was an aspiring baseball player
and I was hit in the leg with a bullet at the age of 16. I was no longer able to pursue athletics, so I devoted myself to music.
riotsound.com: Growing up near San Juan, who were some of your early musical influences?
Daddy Yankee: there were a lot of people whose careers I was following. People like Rakim, he was one of my favorites. Public Enemy, Kool G
Rap, King Sun, KRS One, all of them.
riotsound.com: You are starring in the soon to be released film Talento de
Barrio, which is said to somewhat parallel your own personal life.
In addition to starring in the movie you will also be releasing the
film’s soundtrack. Can you talk about the project and what fans
can expect?
Daddy Yankee: Number one, I want to clear up that the film is not my biography, but still, it is a real story about all the situations and the
struggle everybody goes through in the barrio.
riotsound.com: You have been contributing to various charities and working
with the youth in Puerto Rico. What kind of community related
projects are you currently involved in?
Daddy Yankee: I am [involved] with several charities and I have my foundation Corazón Guerrero and we work hand to hand with people in
jail. Also I’m working with an orphanage to help out all the orphaned kids.
