Rowan Atkinson was almost an Electircal Engineer

I bet you never knew that Rowan Atkinson was actually well on his way to becoming an electrical engineer before his change of course into humor that eventually led to successes with Black Adder and Mr Bean. He completed his degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Newcastle University, and went on to do an MSc in Engineering Science at Oxford. Interestingly he also dislikes the limlight and is said to have Electrical engineer down as his occupation on his passport.
