Umm...no, although Gielgud was considered for the role. You had it before you shifted to Welles.
In his autobiography, one of the stars said of his Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination and win that "my first reaction was one of incredulity and vague pleasure, followed by a sense of embarrassment at the realization that for most actors of my age, an Academy Award or even a nomination comes as the hard-earned culmination of a long and dedicated career; mine was the reward for ten agreeable days spent with a friend in Toronto!"
The same actor is also known for commercials portraying a very similar character. These commercials were often lampooned, exaggerating the actor's elite air. Most people don't realize that this movie was only his second theatrical movie. (He had many, subsequently.)
Harvard University allowed this production only three days of filming on their campus. The administration had been very dissatisfied with Love Story (1970), which had been filmed there. As such, most of the campus scenes were shot at the University of Toronto.
A TV series of the same name ran four seasons, starring the same actor.

Human without the bean
Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

OK, John Houseman, then. What the heck was he in, besides the commercials?
Oh, wait, you just wanted the actor's name. Cool.

No, I want the movie (or the TV show). Houseman was one of the stars.

I think I know the answer now, but I could not even get close to an answer without looking things up in a way I would consider as cheating.
