Did you know That…
The Guy Who Played Mr. Bean has a Master’s Degree in
Electrical Engineering. Atkinson originally received an undergraduate degree in
electrical engineering (EE) at Newcastle University before enrolling in an EE
master’s program at The Queen’s College Oxford in 1975. While working towards this degree, he also
pursued acting on the side with a variety of clubs, including: the Oxford
University Dramatic Society; the Oxford Revue; and the Experimental Theater
Club.
In retrospect, while an investment into master degree
programs usually pays off in more traditional ways, the development of the
character of Mr. Bean while in college surprisingly proved to be a more
profitable use of Atkinson’s time than actual course study.....We will get you more famous guys with Engineering Degrees.
