2	Amitabh Bachchan (born 11 October 1942) is an Indian film actor. His father was the famous Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Also called [[FanNickname Big B and Shahenshah]]. He first gained popularity in the early 1970s as the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold "angry young man"]] of Bollywood cinema, and has since become one of the most prominent figures in the history of Indian cinema. Perhaps the Indian equivalent of Creator/SeanConnery (notable for their distinctive beards and voices) and Creator/MorganFreeman (both Morgan and Big B played {{God}}).
