3. Rik Mayall - Harry Potter Series
Playful poltergeist Peeves was always a fan favourite for readers of JK Rowlings series, while not an essential role in the story he always brought light relief to the sometime intense books. Rik Mayall filmed scenes for The Sorcerer Stone alongside the young cast to find all his scenes have been cut by the time Christopher Colombus film hit the big screen. John Cleeses Nearly Headless Nick was the only ghost to make the final films leaving Mayalls role out of the whole series. It's has to be a slight disappointment to be in the 5% of British actors who hasn't appeared in the magical series.
