Russell Brand
Age: 35
Occupation: Actor
Previous TIME 100 appearances: 0
Funnyman Russell Brand has been making waves in the U.K. since he started stand-up comedy in the early 2000s. But the rascally Brit has a rising profile in the States, hosting the MTV Video Music Awards, starring in Get Him to the Greek and marrying pop star Katy Perry. And the laughs will continue — Brand has taken Dudley Moore's role in a remake of the 1981 comedy Arthur, which hits theaters this month.
