The little old bald guy is a legend. His name is 'Little' Jackie Wright. Keep an eye open for the Benny Hill bio that's on the History or the Biography channel.

Benny, like many of the alltime great comics and comedians (and I go by the oldschool distinction between the two) apparently was much of a loner and never much of a happy fellow.

I have a cute story relating to 'little' Jackie...

In 1981, my brother died...on the day of the funeral, the limo came to my parents house, to pick the family up, and take us to the funeral home...my mom was watching out the window for the limo and when it pulled up,the driver got out of the car and my mom said, "Yikes, little Jackie is driving the limo...we thought mom, in her grief flipped out..we all ran to the window, and sure enough, from the 2nd story window, the limo driver looked like little Jackie...

When we got downstairs, and saw him up close, he looked even more like little Jackie...it was a moment of laughter among us, in spite of our grief...to this day, 25yrs later, everyone still remembers that little Jackie drove the limo for my brothers funeral...
