Billy Connolly

Sir William "Billy" Connolly, , is a retired Scottish actor, comedian, writer, musician, and television personality. He is best known for playing Dr. Montgomery Montgomery in , Lord Dargis, the main antagonist of , and for voicing McSquizzy the squirrel in the 2006 animated film and its 2008 .
For Disney, he portrayed Billy Bones in Muppet Treasure Island. He also voiced Ben in the 1995 Disney animated feature film Pocahontas, the narrator and MacFroogle in The Ballad of Nessie, and King Fergus in the 2012 Disney/Pixar film Brave.
Connolly was born at Dover Street "on the linoleum, three floors up", in Anderston, Glasgow, to Catholic parents, William Connolly and Mary McLean, both of whom were of partly Irish descent. The flat had only two rooms: a kitchen-living room, with a recess where the children slept, and another room for their parents. The family bathed in the kitchen sink, and there was no hot water. In 1946, when he was four years old, Connolly's mother left her children while their father was serving as an engineer in the Royal Air Force in Burma. "I've never felt abandoned by her," Connolly explained in 2009. "My mother was a teenager. My father was in Burma, fighting a bloody war. The Germans were dropping all sorts of crap on the town. We lived at the docks, so that's where all the bombs were happening. She was a teenager with two kids in a slum. A guy comes along and says, 'I love you. Come with me.' Given the choice, I think I'd have gone with him. It looks as though it might all end next Wednesday, from where you're standing. I don't have an ounce of feelings that she abandoned me. She tried to survive."
