on his birthday, British actor Sir Alec Guinness. He is known for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original "Star Wars".
In 1957 he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Colonel Nicholson in the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai.(1957)".
He is considered one of the great Shakespearean actors of his time, who made a successful transition to the Hollywood Film Industry.

He was a superb dramatic actor but, for me, much of his greatest work was in comedies. His performance(s) as the nine members of the D'Ascoyne family in Kind Hearts and Coronets is one of the finest comic performances by an actor I have ever seen. Simply hilarious.
Of course, he famously disliked Star Wars or, more precisely, the extent to which it seemed to define his career in later years.
