Most of America was introduced to Fry when PBS aired an overseas comedy from the early 90's called Jeeves & Wooster, also starring Hugh Laurie, who later found greater success as Dr. House on the TV show "House." Fry plays a clever butler who helps his employer get out of tricky situations. Have you ever seen Jeeves & Wooster?

Stephen is known for his outspokeness. In 2015, a video of him speaking against the belief in God went viral. Stephen is well-known for his atheism. Just this year, Fry implied in an American interview that victims of abuse should get over their self-pity, as he believes pity is the worst kind of emotion. He has since apologized for his statements. If you were famous, would you speak your mind on certain issues?
Yes - it's important to let your voice be heard, regardless of what others think!
