Mike McShane is indeed a funny guy. Was a regular on the original British comedy improv "Whose line is it anyway?" with Clive Anderson. Other players included John Sessions, Josie Lawrence, and Ryan Stiles (also on Drew Carey version).

He also played Friar Tuck in Robin Hood (Kevin Costner).

Sandy Totsvig, Greg Proops, and that little blond haired guy with the lilty voice and tha gap between his teeth, I can't recall his name.

"Who's Line..." was one of the funniest things that Comedy Central ever aired. Interestingly enough, I don't find the Drew Carey version to be nearly as funny.

   He was always my favourite.
   And let's not forget that Paul Merton was in a lot of them as well.

Right... I always thought Merton looked like the bartender at the Regal Beagle.

BTW, it's Sandi Toksvig-she used to present a childrens Saturday show on ITV in the UK. She now does the rather staid, in comparison to Whose Line..., Call My Bluff on BBC. It's actually pretty crappy. Proops does the voice of the Pod Race commentator in the Phantom something or other, a movie that a few people may have seen...

Mochrie. That's it. Colin Mochrie.

Another one. Good job. Jeez, I'm sure there are some we missed. Wasn't there a guy named Chip?

Howbout Clive, and the point deductions for anybody who mentioned his, um, hairline?

Your prize for winning is to read the closing credits in the style of my choosing...

I choose Kramer, after a visit to Dr. Whatley's office.

"All that's left is to thank the comedians on stage. And for Richard Vranch at the piano, this is me, Clive Anderson saying goodnight; goodnight."

:)  Thanks for the memories, LoydM.
