Ralph Truman (7 May 1900 – 15 October 1977) was an English actor, usually cast as either a villain or an authority figure. He possessed a distinguished speaking voice. He was born in London, England.
His best-remembered roles include Tigellinus in MGM's Quo Vadis (1951), the French herald Mountjoy in Laurence Olivier's film Henry V (1944), the evil Monks in David Lean's Oliver Twist (1948), George Merry in the Walt Disney version of Treasure Island (1950), and the Police Inspector in Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956). He also appeared in episodes of several TV series, including Danger Man.
He died 15 October 1977 in Ipswich, Suffolk aged 77.
"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

"Who Knew" is a song by American singer-songwriter Pink from her fourth studio album I'm Not Dead (2006). Written by Pink, Max Martin and Dr. Luke, the song was originally released on May 18, 2006 by LaFace Records to radio as the album's second commercial single, but was only moderately successful. After the success of "U + Ur Hand", the song was later re-released in June 2007 as the album's fourth single in the United States. Musically, "Who Knew" is a pop rock song, which contains minor elements of ballad and Soft rock music. Lyrically, it is regarding the loss of a good friend of hers.
Upon its release, "Who Knew" was well-received by music critics, who acclaimed it as a solid song on the album and lauded the lyrical content. The song faced comparisons for having similarities with Kelly Clarkson's 2004 single "Since U Been Gone". The song was commercially successful worldwide, where it peaked in the top spot in countries including Australia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary and component charts in the United States. In addition, the song is also Pink's longest chart runner on the Hot 100, spending 36 weeks before dropping out.
