| − | '''Norman Wisdom''' (b. [[London]], 1915) is a much-loved [[British]] [[comedy|comic]] [[actor]]. In his many films he plays the role of a hapless 'everyman' or 'little man' character, (known as ""the gump") at the mercy of outside forces - mainly his bosses. Although he now lives in retirement on the [[Isle of Man]], he is a huge star in [[Albania]]. His popularity there dates from the [[Communist]] [[dictator]]ship of [[Enver Hoxha]], when Wisdom's films, despite having little to do with [[Marxist]] ideology, were among the very few western imports shown in Albanian [[cinema]]s and on [[television]]. | + | '''Norman Wisdom''' (b.
