2. Rhod Gilbert
   Rhod Gilbert may be one of Wales' funniest men, but his rugby memories are no laughing matter - at least not to himself. "I used to play in all the try scoring positions for my school in Carmarthen, but I never scored a try," recalls the BBC Wales radio and TV entertainer.
3. John Gilbert
   In the late 1920s, John Gilbert was the screen's greatest idol, appearing in one hit after another. Following the death of the legendary Rudolph Valentino, Gilbert was being groomed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to replace him in macho adventures and bedroom dramas. An article of the day in Cinema Art magazine proclaimed that "John Gilbert stands alone at the top-most pinnacle of film fame. There is no one who can approach him." He was receiving gushing praise, collecting $10,000 a week, and romancing a modern-day goddess [Marlene Dietrich and/or Greta Garbo, two of his most famous lovers at the time of his death]. Then, after a row with MGM boss Louis B. Mayer during a cocktail party, Gilbert was cast out of the picture business forever.
4. Lewis Gilbert
   From 1945 to 1951, Lewis Gilbert was stewardship minister in Cleveland for the Ohio Conference of Congregational Christian Churches. He then served as pastor of the College Street Congregational Church in Burlington, Vermont, from 1951 to 1954. He returned to work for the Ohio Conference as a minister and assistant superintendent in 1954, remaining until 1961.

6. Sara Gilbert
   Sara Gilbert's elder sister was a big TV star, Melissa Gilbert of Little House on the Prairie, so Sara was naturally drawn to acting, just to compete. At nine, she made her professional debut in a TV movie of Calamity Jane, and at 13 she won the role of Darlene, the troublesome younger daughter on Roseanne. She played the role for ten years, matching the span of Melissa's run with Little House. Gilbert ... wrote one of Roseanne's better episodes, "Don't Make Me Over", in which Roseanne receives a special birthday makeover from her daughters, but learns that they had an ulterior motive.
7. Gilbert Gottfried
   Gilbert Gottfried has always been a kind of enigma. Anyone who witnessed his uncomfortable performances as part of the 1980 debacle version of Saturday Night Live would never have imagined that he had a stellar, surreal stand-up comedy act buried somewhere deep inside his nerdy nebbish form. Yet all throughout the 1980s, thanks to numerous appearances on David Letterman and other showcases, Gottfried proved his eclectic humor chops, most memorably on his HBO specials. Even those only aware of him from his decided Disney-fication during the last decade (he was the voice of Iago the parrot in Aladdin and that equally irritating AFLAC duck in the current insurance ad campaign) would probably pause when given a chance to see his current approach to wit. Indeed, Uncle Walt is probably spinning in his cryogenic chamber to learn that one of his vaulted voiceover artists is currently making his living telling the dirtiest, filthiest jokes imaginable.
8. Lewis Gilbert -- Director Lewis Gilbert
   Lewis Gilbert (born March 6, 1920) is an English film director, producer and screenwriter, born in London. After a career as a child actor in films in the 1920s and 1930s, he began shooting documentary films for the Royal Air Force during World War II. Gilbert made his name in the 1950s with a series of successful films as director, and often writer and producer as well. These were often based on true stories from World War II. Examples include Reach for the Sky (1956) (based on the life of air ace Douglas Bader), Carve Her Name with Pride (1958) (the story of SOE agent Violette Szabo) and Sink the Bismarck! (1960).
9. Gilbert Gottfried -- Comedian Gilbert Gottfried
   Gilbert Gottfried (born February 28 1955, in Brooklyn, New York) is a Jewish American stand-up comedian and actor noted for his grating voice, his squint, his Brooklyn accent and his tendency to shout. Although he has a rather clean image on television and film, his stand up routines and appearances on The Howard Stern Show can be raunchy and racially explicit. He has played numerous roles in film and television, perhaps most notably voicing the parrot Iago in Disney's Aladdin (1992) and all sequels and spin-offs and co-starring in the Problem Child movies (1990 and 1991). Although not a regular, he ... appeared in the short-lived 1992 TV series The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys and voiced a crazed dentist "Dr. Bender" on the show The Fairly OddParents (The show's creator, Butch Hartman, took over his role.) He voiced the character "Beetle" in the critical 1994 flop Thumbelina.
10. Rhod Gilbert -- Rhod Gilbert Stands Up For Wales
    A 30 minute documentary profile entitled 'Rhod Gilbert Stands Up For Wales' was transmitted on BBC 1, Wales in the autumn of 2005. Exploring Rhod's comedy roots, the documentary followed Rhod on his route to the Edinburgh festival to perform his debut solo show. Other recent TV appearances include 'The Comedy Store' for Paramount and Scottish TV and Paramount's 'Live at the Fringe'. He ... appeared at the Bloomsbury Theatre as part of Paramount's impressive 'Edinburgh & Beyond' show. Look out for him as a panellist on the forthcoming new series of 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks' which airs in the Spring. Making waves in the world of radio, he recently joined Lee Mack on BBC Radio 2's 'Edinburgh Nights' and was also invited to join Paul Merton as a panellist on BBC Radio 4's 'Just A Minute'.
