FAVOURITE ACCOUNTANTS IN FILM OR TV. aka; they may not all be twats

Sick to me back teeth with this credit crunch stuff until I had a pint with an accountant yesterday, fella had a real dry sense of humour and some pretty interesting tales of tax dodging tomfoolery etc.

anyways, the conversation went from daft to worse over a few beers, however one nugget I recall was the fact that he bemoaned a lack of cinematic profile for his profession in the Cinematic arts.....

Bollox I said

Name one he said

I fookin will I said

and after a pint I came up with ( with help from Ourkid )

Charles Grodin's character in Midnight Run Joe Pesci in Lethal Weapon two Charles Martin Smith's character in The Untouchables

and as a group of accountants 'The Crimson Permanent Assurance' from Monty Python.

Granted, not many babe-magnets in that group but not a bad representtion.

anyone got anymore?

Accountants are my fucking heroes! Their job would bore me to death, but someone's got to do it.

It's solicitors I can't stand.

think he was a defence worker Al, his character name was D Fens a play on it. made redundant by the powers that be

quality film though

as an aside, would like to see D Fens take out Howard the Singing Prick from the Halifax ad campaign, now thats an account as Twat if ever there was

He's a banker

rhymin slang style banker at that

don't like the wee troll fucker they got either, looks like he's wearing his big brothers funeral suit.

meantime telly accountants must include Norm Peterson from Cheers

Worse,one of my uncles has been talking it up as a great career option for my kid....behind my back.

Dunno about accountants,but uncle Cuntgums will be held accountable if he undoes all my good work.

What the fuck sort of name is Thandie?

Hmmmm, dunno about movies, but they feature reasonably heavily in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy......eg The chap who won major science awards for both his general and special theories of Disaster Area tax returns.

But the accountant's finest starring roll, MUST be in the BOFH, at last count he's offed about 40 beancounters over the years, in a variety of hilarious ways, often involving high voltage.

Not an accountant by any reason, but Lando from Star Wars.
