《憨豆先生》1989年开始拍摄，第一集于1990年1月1日在英国首播，而第15集则于1995年10月15日播出。

剧中的憨豆先生有一辆MINI座驾，最初是一辆红色的（车牌号：RNT996H），在第一集（Mr. Bean）中出现，不过那辆车在播放职员表前撞散了，后来换了一辆黄色的（车牌号：SLW287R）。这辆黄色MINI的特色是使用外置锁头，而非车内的门锁，它最先于《憨豆回归》（第二集）中出现，在《回到校园》（第十一集）那集，他的MINI因为停在了和原本将要被坦克压扁的一辆一模一样的黄色MINI位置，被一辆坦克压扁。憨豆先生的座驾就成了那一张计划被坦克压扁的MINI。

憨豆先生特别喜欢以自己的MINI来捉弄自己的一辆蓝色"三轮车"（车牌：GRA26K），包括把它撞离停车位、在车前切线等。

憨豆先生是个"有一点笨拙、有一点幼稚、有一点单向思维（脑筋不转弯）、有一点腼腆、又有一点短路的家伙，他的喜剧感来自你我都有可能会发生的日常生活中"。他平日的穿着则是非常典型的英国保守中产阶级的装扮。剧中他的对白极少，几乎都是靠"丰富的肢体动作"和"变化多端的表情"来呈现给观众。讨厌他的人也许会觉得，这个故作低能智障的家伙实在令人作呕，但欣赏他的人会觉得他实在太了不起了，能够把英国式的幽默表现得淋漓尽致，可以算"用 卓别林 方式演戏的英国金凯瑞"。

英国式的幽默举世闻名。与美国式的说话很满、很夸张之后的捧腹大笑比起来，英国式只是点到为止的"莞尔"，一切尽在不言中。美国情境喜剧的喜剧感，常常来自家人朋友之间的"互相吐槽"（对话）。

现年59岁的他，五官还能犹如"橡皮"般伸缩自如，搞笑时表情细腻，真是与憨豆先生合二为一了。这个角色让罗温·艾金森风靡全球，我们从各种系列的商品中也可以看出他有多火了：除了有剧片的录像带、dvd之外，还有明信片、电话本、贺卡以及各式各样的t恤、书籍、剧本、剧照集、传记等等，其中最有名的就是《憨豆日记》，里面收集了憨豆生活中最重要最隐私的点点滴滴。时隔十年，憨豆先生重返银幕，不知影迷们又将对憨豆先生在新片中的搞笑功力作何反应，我们拭目以待。

值得深思的一点是，憨豆先生的形象似乎摆脱了一切社会关系--他有没有直系亲属，本片一直没有介绍；恋爱也不成功，因为憨豆太吝啬而且做任何事都像是没有长大的孩子；朋友们也因为他做事太不靠谱而故意走开，只能把小泰迪熊当做生活中的真诚伙伴，而其实根本就是自己和自己的想象力过生活--他当然不情愿这样，这显然让他非常痛苦。几乎所有的剧情都发生在他与陌生人之间，这些临时建立起来的关系无一例外是一次性的，包括在《 憨豆先生的大灾难 》中与美国人大卫·蓝利一家的关系还有在《憨豆黄金周》中与女演员沙宾和俄国小孩儿的关系。很明显憨豆先生并不觉得这样有什么不好，说不定他反而以为这是一种生活的无限性，事实上可能也真的是这样。这对于喜欢简单生活的人来说是一种理想的方式，这种生活原则很容易让人想起同样属于中产阶级队伍的德国哲学家叔本华。中规中矩，又喜欢闯祸和自作聪明，这些个性在现实生活中有时有些令人讨厌，却总是在观众可以接受的范围之内。

总是陪伴在憨豆先生身边的一只泰迪熊娃娃。虽然只是填充娃娃，但憨豆先生却当他是有生命的，是个重要的伙伴。他爱带着泰迪跳舞，给它吃饭，甚至是一起洗澡。用这一简单道具突出了憨豆的天真可爱和与众不同的怪咖个性。

当憨豆先生遇上伦敦奥运会会上演怎样的精彩，2012年7月27日的 伦敦奥运会开幕式上，全世界喜剧迷们喜欢的憨豆先生突然亮相 伦敦交响乐团 中，精彩的无声演出引起全世界观众的爆笑。

如果说开幕式之前一直被严肃和温馨的气息笼罩，那憨豆先生的出现无疑是开幕式一个巨大的亮点。当享誉全球的伦敦交响乐队为伦敦开幕式预备上演精彩演出时，镜头切到了队伍中的憨豆先生，此时的全球观众不禁惊呼，可爱的憨豆先生终于来了。

憨豆先生带着独有的诙谐表情在伦敦交响乐队作为一名伴奏员，他用一根指头按着琴键，随即，单调的按键让憨豆先生开始了他独有的英国式幽默。他先是左顾右盼，似乎并没有将心思放在表演中，随后他又玩起了手机，这样的表演在憨豆先生的影视剧中曾多次出现。接着，憨豆先生用一个喷嚏开始了自己的演出，触摸不到手纸的他从背后拿出一把雨伞。终于，憨豆用他特有的方式拿到了手纸，然后，他擦过鼻子将此物后扔向了他身边的队友。

这样的演出自然是开幕式上一个精彩的亮点，随即慢慢地，憨豆先生进入了梦乡，镜头切到了电影场景，重现了《 火的战车 》开场场景，憨豆先生再次出现，用坐车的搞笑方式赶到了赛跑的众人面前。睡梦中醒来后的憨豆兀自地在按着琴键，清醒的他猛然发现演出已经结束，全场响彻着他一个人的按键声，此时的指挥正严肃地盯着他，憨豆先生又展现了自己特有的表情，随即用一连串收尾弹奏结束了本场演奏。

这一串的表演是英国伦敦奥运会带给我们不一样的感受，在这次表演中音乐与喜剧完美的结合，憨豆先生也在现场为我们上演了他别样的精彩。

然而，憨豆先生宣布将不再出演憨豆先生系列，因为他说自己太老了。艾金森认为"憨豆先生"是一个有着小孩思想的大人，并表示不会再塑造"憨豆先生"这一形象，"我总觉得'憨豆先生'是不老的永恒的，而我却不是。随着年纪的增长，我越是觉得我很难再去演'憨豆先生'"。

You have always loved to dance, and being a dancer has been an integral part of your identity. Do you know that you can get your dance to represent you at the elite college of your dreams?

Your dancing abilities could very well be your ticket to a college seat you have been aspiring for.

All you need for it is a portfolio.

What Exactly is a Portfolio?

How do you make sure you have one that attracts the attention of the admissions team? Let's find some answers! What is a dance portfolio? Your portfolio is an essential part of your self-presentation as an artist. Portfolios are an opportunity for you to showcase compelling images and videos that best captures your training, talent, and preparedness.

Remember, a portfolio is NOT a CV because a CV tends to be shorter and more formal. While a performance portfolio tends to be comprehensive, includes more background information and images and videos of work you have done.

There is no correct template for a dance portfolio. All colleges have different preferences, and so do agents and your potential dance companies.

How to Start Compiling a Dance Portfolio?

A dance portfolio is your visual resume. It can be used to supplement an admission application, even getting selected for your dream college dance team. In short, it's a handy tool which you can use wherever you need to showcase your dancing skills and experience in a quick, easy way. You can't just go ahead, throw together some clips on a phone app and call it your portfolio.

Here are a few things that you should start doing now.

1. Collect Your Dance Clip

Check your phone storage, dig up your hard drive and find all your best work from the past. Ask your friends who made the videos for you. Choreography, performances, concept videos, the works. Recall all the details about each clip and compile it in one folder.

You may need some video editing help to trim down each clip to only the best, most relevant section. Remember to choose solos or the ones where you are in the center or very easily visible. Don't forget to check the quality of the clips too! That high school pep rally video shot on a camera phone? No way!

Also, remember to keep them short- under 10-15 seconds. Most colleges would not entertain bulkier files, and anything more than 5 minutes is undoubtedly going to bore them out!

Work out how you want to organize all this footage, start with your strongest and most recent clips. You must be able to hold people's attention for the first few seconds.

2. Make it a Point to Shoot Extra Footage for your Dance Portfolio

It's not just about your past performances. Your dance portfolio must include a couple of clips prepared specifically for college application. You can either self-choreograph it or use a pre-choreographed number which you have performed in the past. Record a new piece ( solo is the way) on a high-quality camera in a nice location- like your dance studio or a gym. Our tip is to speak with your instructor and choose a quiet time of the day. You can do it in the night if the studio has great lights and take the help of a friend.

Combined with your past performances, this latest clip of your dance will showcase how much you've grown as a dancer.

3. Include Impressive Content

Remember to include credits to the original choreographer and also for the soundtracks. You can create a separate slide with these two details along with the description to be displayed before each clip in your portfolio.

Check out profiles of previous alumni of the college who have got selected because of their dancing portfolios-Understand what they did, and without being a copycat, create something that would appeal to the admissions team. Chances are, the admissions team is going to forward your portfolio to their dance faculty for evaluation. Make sure you have included some elements based on your research about the dance faculty. Our tip is to incorporate different features to keep your portfolio interesting. You may include some quick clips to upbeat music as well as a longer clip with more cinematic qualities in the mix to keep them engaged.

Relevant captions that won't distract from the dancing ( a separate slide or lower center or corner of frames) and including keywords shows your preparedness, professionalism, and experience as a dancer.

Make sure to include your Youtube channel or website details if you have some at the end of the video. This gives the evaluator a chance to watch more once you have got their attention the first time.

4. Get the Right Music

While you have the old videos of your performances where you can not do anything about the music, make sure that your latest video being prepared has the best music that elevates your performance. You must include a self-choreographed video clip. You will be dancing at your best when it is something original and composed by yourself. It also gives a chance to show your leadership qualities and risk-taking abilities as an artist and as a person.

5. Make Sure to Include Some Photos

You can also add some photos tastefully- (introduce the title, choreographer and music credits on your headshot, for example) into your portfolio. A headshot, a staged shot or even some relevant performance shots are a great combination. You can add them in the clip, or you could save them as PDF documents(this ensures the formatting remains the same, and most uni's don't accept image files any other way) and include it along with your video.

6. Clothing, Hair, and Make-Up

Since you have already sifted through your past videos and selected the best of the lot, this tip is only for the video you would be preparing now. It is imperative, and evident that you look your best. Take some time to think about which will be most flattering, and which colors work best with your skin and hair tones.

Do you let your hair loose or tie them up? Prepare as you would prepare for an actual on-stage performance. Use the right accessories and styling products.

Make sure you wear your best dancewear, for example, if you are preparing a ballet performance, make it a point to wear your best leotard and tutu set along with your ballet shoes.

Your should be enough to look your best in the lights that you will be performing in. Through trial and error, you can find what seems best. Remember, you may not have the same harsh lights as you would on a stage, and too much make up is worse than having no makeup at all.

Some Parting Tips that Might Come in Handy

Before you record the video or go for a photo session, make sure you have practiced the poses that work best for you. The angle of your face, the stance, and minor details like the side of your hair partition all should blend to give a great shot.

Practice with your dance teacher or your dance partner to make sure you have a second opinion on your poses, stance, and moves and to make sure your techniques are as perfect as they should be.

Be honest. You don't want professional videography with special effects on your dance portfolio. Your portfolio is only about your dance. By going overboard and spending a lot of money, you are just going to repel the admission authorities or prove that you are too desperate.

Most dance teachers keep an open mind about the background and skill sets of the applicants. You may have tonnes of certificates of awards to back your claim, but if you do not have the openness, the desire to try new things and showcase your talent in the compact 5-minute capsule, you may not make the cut.

Your resume is as important! Don't rely solely on your performance video; your CV will help provide a context to your dancing skills. Your training choices, affiliation to theater companies, high school dance teams or studios also comes into the picture.

If there are two dancers with similar dance portfolios to choose from, the one with higher SAT scores will be given preference.

Your portfolio is a 5-minute window to your personality. You may or may not major or do a minor in dance once you are granted admission, but your dance portfolio will surely help you make heads turn and capitalize on your skill set as you make it to your dream college.
