Spot on Cadpete. Who do you have for us?

Walter Elias Disney Born in Chicago on December 5, 1901, died December 15, 1966.

Walt Disney was an American entrepreneur, animator, voice actor and film producer.

As a film producer, he holds the record for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, having won 22 Oscars.

Disney took art classes as a boy and got a job as a commercial illustrator at the age of 18.

With Ub Iwerks, Walt developed the character Mickey Mouse in 1928. 

As his studio grew, Disney introduced synchronised sound, Technicolor and feature-length cartoons. The results, seen in features such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Fantasia, Pinocchio (both 1940), Dumbo (1941) and Bambi (1942), furthered the development of animated film.

New animated and live-action films followed after World War II, including the critically successful Cinderella (1950) and Mary Poppins(1964), the latter of which received five Academy Awards.

I reckon it's David Jason...

I don't know what name he went under in "Do Not Adjust Your Set" but his real name is David Jason. Later in life he played in "A Touch of Frost" detective series.

You are correct Dave. David Jason is his stage name, I didn't know that even though I'm a great fan of his. Actually it's Sir David John White, OBE.

Ok, here's an Oldie for you:

I believe he is a window cleaner !!!

George Formby.

George Formby, OBE (born George Hoy Booth; 26 May 1904  6 March 1961), was an English actor, singer-songwriter and comedian who became known to a worldwide audience through his films of the 1930s and 1940s. On stage, screen and record he sang light, comical songs, usually playing the ukulele or banjolele, and became the UK's highest-paid entertainer.

Born in Wigan, Lancashire, he was the son of George Formby Sr, from whom he later took his stage name. After an early career as a stable boy and jockey, Formby took to the music hall stage after the early death of his father in 1921. His early performances were taken exclusively from his father's act, including the same songs, jokes and characters. In 1923 he made two career-changing decisions he purchased a ukulele, and married Beryl Ingham, a fellow performer who became his manager and transformed his act. She insisted that he appear on stage formally dressed, and introduced the ukulele to his performance. He started his recording career in 1926 and, from 1934, he increasingly worked in film to develop into a major star by the late 1930s and 1940s, and became the UK's most popular entertainer during those decades. The media historian Brian McFarlane writes that on film, Formby portrayed gormless Lancastrian innocents who would win through against some form of villainy, gaining the affection of an attractive middle-class girl in the process.

Thanks BG.  Try this one.

Should be fairly easy.

Cheers,
