Impressionist Harry Enfield (or at least some of his characters) is practically a household name in Britain, although he is just now being introduced to audiences in the United States, mostly through his voice overs as a gnome in ads for Travelocity.
Thank you Wendy! It was driving me nuts lol
Funny - saw that one last night during a History Channel Marathon (I rarely watch TV) and it took me to the end of the ad to place that it was Harry Enfield.
Okay, okay so I'm slow on the uptake, lol but I got there in the end!
I've been meaning to google that for ages now. Thought it was him right from the start but couldn't really see why American TV would want him... although I suppose the ads are good for UK if they just change the wording to "dot co dot uk"
