David Edward Williams (born 20 August 1971), known professionally as David Walliams (/ˈwæljəmz/), is an English actor, comedian, writer, and television personality. He is best known for his work with Matt Lucas on the BBC sketch comedy series Little Britain (2003–2006) and Come Fly With Me (2010–2011).
