What I know about Martin Freeman, is he was the "Jim" of the British The Office, also the Hobbit I think, a story I loved as a child, but never actually seen the movies, I should do that.
What I know about Gilbert Gottfried, is the principal or something, in Problem Child 2 (I think it was the second one?) and the voice of Iago from Aladdin. Also as a commentator on vh1 styled shows from the 2000s (not to get specific). Let us take a look at their Wikipedia pages.
Martin Freeman is a close friend to Simon Pegg, makes sense.
He is also a fan of jazz music, like myself.
He also played Arthur Dent on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Yes, he was Bilbo Baggins, on The Hobbit series, beautiful. Other than some minor roles of some movies I like, I haven't seen a whole lot of his filmography. Seems like a likeable guy tho.
Alrite.... Gilbert Gottfried. First of all, Gilbert Gottfried died on April 12, 2022, a a week or so after the anniversary of his death, 4 years later. May he rest in peace. If anybody knows the face of Gilbert Gottfried, then you can also probably hear the voice as well, in the back of your head. Very annoying lol.
Anyways.
Oh, Problem Child (the first one), the second one, and the third one. One of my childhood memories. Aladdin. Always a classic. vh1's I Love Toys. Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments. When I was scouring the old MFGG message board for my old posts, I made a topic about this show, asking MFGG members what they thought about the list. For example, the Willy Wonka tunnel scene was in there, and another movie, I don't remember which one, but we were discussing if these scenes were scary (they were, technically). The rest of the moments seemed like they fit in with the "scary movie" themes. Gottfried has a huge list of voices and cameos in tv shows from Family Guy to The Ren and Stimpy Show. He also reprised his role for Iago (Kingdom Hearts, sequels, animated series), unlike big movie star Robin Williams (the genie). Also was in commercials. So we probably all know him (the older members anyway).
But most importantly he is a comedian, which was probably his "title" on vh1 and the Bravo show. Gilbert Gottfried, Comedian. He has albums of his performances.
I thought I was going to pick Martin Freeman (more starring roles, but yet, British, so I don't know much of his films), but I am going to move Gottfried to the next round for being more dynamic.

Quote:Freeman is a fan of soul, Motown and jazz music, and presented an episode of BBC Two's The Culture Show in 2009 titled "Martin Freeman Goes to Motown". He also selected music for a 2006 Motown compilation, Made to Measure, and worked on a jazz compilation with his friend Eddie Piller, Jazz on the Corner; released on Acid Jazz Records on 23 March 2018, it features tracks by Kamasi Washington and The Brand New Heavies. The pair presented The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on 31 March 2018. In 2019, a follow-up album, Soul on the Corner, was announced, with tracks by Leroy Hutson and Bobby Womack.
