While Steve Cooganhas appeared in enough American films to be recognized by global audiences, he is easily one of the most popular and influential British comedians of the past few decades. Coogan gained a cult audience by creating the character of Alan Partridge, a fictional British television personality who satirized various right-wing commentators and radio programmers that were popular in England in the 1990s. Coogan continued to play Partridge in various sitcoms, radio programs, and public appearances, but it wasn’t until 2013 that he starred in the theatrical release Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.
