Rowan Atkinson displays comic talents at the London Olympics Opening Ceremony (Video)

Aside from Queen Elizabeth and James Bond jumping out of a helicopter, British comedian Rowan Atkinson provided one of the highlights of Friday night's Opening Ceremony at the London 2012 Olympics.

Atkinson channeled his Mr. Bean character during a hilarious comedy sketch and "dream sequence" as he sat with Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra as they played Chariots of Fire.
