Hugh John Mungo Grant (born 9 September 1960) is an English actor and film producer. He has received a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA, and an Honorary César. His movies have also earned more than $2.4 billion from 25 theatrical releases worldwide. Grant achieved international stardom after appearing in Richard Curtis's sleeper hit Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). He used this breakthrough role as a frequent cinematic persona during the 1990s to deliver comic performances in mainstream films like Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) and Notting Hill (1999). By the turn of the century, he had established himself as a leading man skilled with a satirical comic talent. Since the 2000s, Grant has expanded his oeuvre with critically acclaimed turns as a cad in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), About A Boy (2002), Love Actually (2003), and American Dreamz (2006). Within the film industry, Grant is cited as an anti-movie star who approaches his roles like a character actor, with the ability to make acting look effortless. Hallmarks of his comic skills include a nonchalant touch of irony/sarcasm and studied physical mannerisms as well as his precisely-timed dialogue delivery and facial expressions. The entertainment media's coverage of Grant's life off the big screen has often overshadowed his work as a thespian. He has been vocal about his disrespect for the profession of acting, his disdain towards the culture of celebrity, and hostility towards the media. In a career spanning 20 years, Grant has repeatedly claimed that acting is not a true calling but just a job he fell into.

Sir Charles Lytton
for Sir Charles Lytton in A Better Pink Panther Reboot
Suggested by captainwhaddock
The year is 1964, the Maharaja of Lugash is having a national state visit to Paris, in order to negotiate the country's independence from France. As a gift of friendship, the Maharaja gives the French Government Lugash’s most prized treasure, «The Pink Panther Diamond». But at the peace conference, the Pink Panther is stolen, and Commissioner Dreyfus is told by the Maharaja to put his best detective on the case. However, Sargeant Francois accidentally hires the police force's worst Detective, "Inspector Jacques Clouseau". To make sure Clouseau doesn’t mess things up, Dreyfus hires a Chinese martial arts expert called Cato Fong to train Clouseau for his mission. Dreyfus tells Clouseau to investigate former jewel thief "Sir Charles Lytton" but after investigating him, Clouseau believe that he can’t have stolen the Pink Panther and so works with his to find out who is the real culprit. Clouseau suspects that the culprit must be a member of the Lugash Royel Family and so investigates the Maharaja’s Daughter. However, she and Clouseau end up falling in love, which not only gets him in trouble with the Maharaja but also drives Dreyfus to try to kill Clouseau for his incompetence. (This is my idea for a Pink Panther Reboot that's better than the 2006 Steve Martine movie)
