Eddie Izzard
Edward John "Eddie" Izzard〔 (; born 7 February 1962) is an English stand-up comedian, actor, and writer. His comedic style takes the form of rambling, whimsical monologue, and self-referential pantomime. He had a starring role in the television series ''The Riches'' as Wayne Malloy and has appeared in films such as ''Ocean's Twelve'', ''Ocean's Thirteen'', ''Mystery Men'', ''Shadow of the Vampire'', ''The Cat's Meow'', ''Across the Universe'', and ''Valkyrie''. He has also worked as a voice actor in ''The Wild'' (2006), ''Igor'' (2008), ''The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian'' (2008), and ''Cars 2'' (2011).
Izzard has cited his main comedy role model as Monty Python, and John Cleese once referred to him as the "Lost Python".〔 In 2009, he completed 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief despite having no prior history of long-distance running.〔 He has won numerous awards including a Primetime Emmy Award for Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program for his comedy special ''Dress to Kill'', in 2000. Izzard's website won the Yahoo People's Choice Award and earned the Webby Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.webbyawards.com/webbys/current.php?season=9 )〕
On 6 September 2012, Izzard presented the medals to the athletes who had won the 800m T54 race at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

==Early life==
Izzard was born in the Colony of Aden,〔 the younger son of English parents. His mother, Dorothy Ella, was a midwife and nurse; his father, Harold John Izzard, was an accountant who was working in Aden with British Petroleum.〔〔 A year after Izzard's birth, the family moved to Bangor in Northern Ireland and lived there until he was five.〔〔〔〔 The family then moved to Skewen in Wales, where his mother died of cancer when Izzard was six and his brother, Mark, was eight.〔〔〔 Following his mother's death, Izzard attended boarding schools〔〔 such as St John's School in Porthcawl,〔 as well as St Bede's Prep School and Eastbourne College in Eastbourne, East Sussex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Olympic Torch Relay - Live Relay )〕 He said that he knew he was a transvestite at the age of four, after watching another boy being forced to wear a dress by his sisters, and knew he wanted to be an actor at the age of seven.
