Nobody has mentioned (re Americans being Brit) Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. And what was that Western written by Alan Sharpe entirely populated by Scots and Irish (who are honorary Brits after all)? The best Bad Brit of all was surely Sidney Greenstreet in The Maltese Falcon. And< janet, when you mentioned the ultimate cad, I KNEW it would be Terry-Thomas, according to Kingsley ASmis a genuinely funny man in real life.
