It's not easy to be an actor, and to be able to amuse the audience. It is generally not everyone under force. This requires uncommon appearance, inner charisma, voice, eyes, facial expressions and gestures - all that will undoubtedly attract the viewer and make him stay at the screen and laughing heartily. These geniuses are there and I decided to make a Top 11 best, in my opinion, comedians. It includes actors of the American, British and French cinema.
11. Norman Joseph Wisdom (4 February 1915 – 4 October 2010) was an English actor, comedian and singer-songwriter best known for a series of comedy films produced between 1953 and 1966 featuring his hapless onscreen character Norman Pitkin. Wisdom gained a celebrity status in lands as far apart as South America, Iran and many Eastern Bloc countries, particularly in Albania, where his films were the only ones by Western actors permitted by dictator Enver Hoxha to be shown. Charlie Chaplin once referred to Wisdom as his "favourite clown".
