There used to be a massive painting of his in the main hall of my school... back before the unpleasantness.

Oh, haha, no, that wasn't meant to be a clue.

Free information: It isn't Rolf Harris.

I don't understand the apparently British reference.

I don't understand the apparently British reference.

Rolf Harris was an Australian comedian, singer, and artist, who was very popular in the UK. In one of his regular TV slots, he would pen a very quick caricature or cartoon character, and part-way through, he would pause for a moment and utter one of his catch-phrases, "can you guess who it is yet"?

A number of years ago he was exposed as a sexual predator, and found guilty of having sexually assaulted several under-age girls during the 1980s at the height of his fame. He was sent to prison for, I think, three or four years. He died quite recently.

Due to my turn of phrase, Octavious wondered if I was making reference to Rolf Harris. I realised the similarity of the phrase once Oct mentioned it but, no, this was not actually the character I am thinking of (nor did I directly intend to make reference to his catch phrase; it was a mere coincidence).

Also, clarification please, would "not European" disqualify a Russian, or does it depend upon where in Russia they were born?
