Bille Brown(1952-2013)

While performing in a Shakespearean play in London, Brown was spotted by John Cleese, who was so impressed by his performance, that he personally asked him to take part in Cleese's new film Wilde Kreaturen (1997)

During an open-air performance in the park of a pre-World War 2 version of the Shakespearean play "Much Ado About Nothing", Bille Brown, in role of Benedick, commented to the audience (when an airliner flew over during his monologue), "Don't worry, it's one of ours, Alitalia!".
