Can we keep to people who are still alive, rather than cluttering this thread with every cool person who has ever lived?
Let's start with the Greatest Living Englishman.
Yes, Fry is top of the list. Also:
Stephen - Yes
Dylan - Yes
Tamsin - Yes
Also - 
Well, I had to!
Apart from doing a consistently brillant impression of a man that looks like a lesbian, what's so great about Tamsin Greig?

Oh.
In order from my first post we have *drum roll* Dylan Moran (though you probably all knew that.) Next up is Win Butler, lead singer of Arcade Fire and generally antagonistic moany rock star. 
Then it's Gareth Campesinos, lead singer of Los Campesinos! and smart, awkward, indie-shirking/loving rock guy... finally we have Gabriel Garcia Marquez, author. *salutes*
Lets do it!

She's a brilliant actress, from Green Wing to Black Books, Love Soup to The Archers, Shakespeare to The Diary of Anne Frank. Also, she has given possibly the funniest award acceptance speech ever.
