Baron Rakan - the comedian

[Dunenewt]

Baron Rakan was played by Michael McShane, who is a comedian, did anyone know this?  I was watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? on TV, on which he was a regular, when I suddenly realised he looked familiar.

Hmm. Now I think the Baron from EBfD could be nastier, more akin to his movie prototype, but then he was killed off early in the game, so it probably doesn't matter anyway.

Regarding your question, I didn't know that of course. I don't know foreign actors too well, save for some well-known (mostly Hollywood) ones. Not that my knowledge of contemporary Russian actors is superior, but at least I can get glimpses of them on TV quite often.

That's a video of him in action.
