-->-- [[Series/TheYoungOnes "Rick"]]
'''Richard Michael "Rik" Mayall''' (7 March 1958 – 9 June 2014) was a British
After performing various stand up routines, Mayall's first major role was in British television series Series/TheYoungOnes, a [[BritCom British Comedy]] about four students and their increasingly wild and whacky antics. Mayall co-wrote the sitcom with Lise Mayer, and played one of the students, [[TheDanza Rick]], a character based on one of his stand up personas.
From there on, Mayall became a British household name.
Mayall was also known for providing voice overs, mostly for childrens films and shows, including a television series of Literature/WatershipDown, WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants and the voice of the puppy in a series of Andrex commercials.
