Sir Norman Wisdom (born February 4, 1915, other dates reported) is an English comedian, singer and actor.

Popularity in Albania

Norman Wisdom is a well-known and loved cult film icon in Albania and was the only Western actor whose films were allowed in the country during the Communist dictatorship of Enver Hoxha. The archetypal Wisdom plot — the common working man getting the better of his bosses — was considered ideologically sound by Hoxha. In 1995, he visited the country, where to his surprise he was greeted by many appreciative fans and the then president of Albania, Sali Berisha.
