Which actor played David Langley in the 1997 film Bean?

Peter MacNicol played David Langley in the 1997 film Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie.

David Langley is an American museum curator whose professional life becomes entangled with Mr. Bean’s disastrous visit to Los Angeles. MacNicol’s performance provides a comparatively grounded reaction to Bean’s increasingly destructive behavior, helping the film contrast ordinary workplace expectations with the character’s absurd methods.

The film’s main plot involves the National Gallery sending Bean to California to oversee the transfer of a famous painting. David Langley becomes responsible for managing the visitor and dealing with the consequences of his actions. Pamela Reed played Alison Langley, David’s wife, while Andrew Lawrence played their son Kevin.

MacNicol is sometimes confused with Harris Yulin, who played George Grierson, the museum official associated with the painting’s arrival. They are different characters. The cast also included Rowan Atkinson as Bean and Burt Reynolds as General Newton.
