Peter Serafinowicz is a British comic gem. His Twitter-based self-description reads "Male actress and comedienne", his impressions and comedic characters blur the line between ridiculousness and inspiration, and he's featured in some outstanding TV and films over the years (and The Phantom Menace). At the time of writing, in a typically novel move, he's promising to record a personalised voice-mail message for anyone who donates £50 or over to Comic Relief. Tempting.
