Guest lankybellwipe Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Was that the one wear he disguises himself as a white man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northerngimp Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Was that the one wear he disguises himself as a white man! Yup, i think it starts on a plane which is on the verge of crashing. The person who is sitting next to him is a gangster in hiding from the law and spills his guts on his past as everyone thinks they are about to to die. The pilot saves the plane so the gangster then has to kill Lennys character. Hence the reason hides as a white guy. I think his mate in the film is a special effects guy.

Kimbo Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 This was his big break in the US, epic fail. I never really took off. He should try and break Britain before going for the US. I've never met one person that finds him funny, the BBC repeatedly give him series which inevitably fail. Why is he on TV??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lazlo Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I just heard a brief riposte of him as othello on radio 4. His accent sounded like jim davidsons 'chalkie' Still, i like the dude, i wish him all the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Billy Connely hasn't been anywhere near funny for years - he milks his "big Yin" act sommat awful Henry hasn't been very funny for a t least 10 years mind - he makes a joke and then clearly waits for the laugh Apparently his excursion into Shakespeare in Leeds is very good tho' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
