ⓘ About Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry is a British comedian, actor, director, screenwriter, and author. He made his name as one of the best at comical manipulation of writing and speech. He used these skills to desanctify the most taboo or serious of topics. Fry spent most of his childhood studying in boarding schools where he had an extensive list of violations from thief, liar, cheater and master prankster. The last straw was resetting the stops in the chapel that resulted in bizarre sounds during a church service. The school had no choice but to expel him. Despite his predilection for trouble, he loved reading and the fact that he had bipolar, rebellious and gay tendencies made him somewhat of an outsider throughout his youth.
