British comedian Harry Hill may be lesser known in the United States, but he’s done very well for himself on TV across the pond. The Bafta-winning comedian has a goofy style and usually wears signature big-collared shirts. Basically, he looks like a walking cartoon.

Harry got his big break in 1992 at the age of 28, but comedy wasn’t his first career choice. He’s actually qualified in neuroscience, earning his degree at the University of London. He later quit medicine because he “Didn’t feel in control of what was happening.” Despite his comedy career, he remains on England’s list of medical practitioners.
