The man on the right made the notes shown on the left. He has been called the "most famous unknown actor in the world". Who is he and what are the notes for?Answer: The notes are for the famous "Dawn of man" sequence that opens Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Dan Richter, the man who played the lead ape (moon watcher) is also the choreographer of the scene. In the right, he is shown reenacting the famous scene when he throws a bone up in the air and it transforms into a spacecraft (called the longest flash-forward in movie history). The quote about him being the world's most famous unknown actor is due to Arthur C. Clarke. Karthik, Hari, Arvind, Mrinalini, Jaggi, Corina, Srivats and P got it. Well done.

Dane Richer - ape
Dan Richter, Dawn of Man - 2001: A Space Odyssey
The guy who played the ape in 2001 a space odyssey.
Upon googling, found that his name was Dan Richter.
The gentleman is Dan Richter who played the leader of the apes (the side that wins) from the film '2001:A Space Odyssey'. I think the leader was called Moonwatcher - he is the one who tosses the bone in slow-motion. The notes detail the movement on-screen for this character.
notes for the chicken dance :)
