Not sure how well he was known outside the UK. He was a big star in the 50's and 60's, a slapstick comedian.
He could be very funny, but his films were a bit variable. Did well to get to 95, considering his stunts.

One of his better movies, "On the Beat", trying and failing to join the police force:

Typical action between 43:30 and 50:30, the "steeplechase" over the garden fences still makes me smile, nearly surreal
