That would be the monumental Charles Babbage I'd say.
IMO, a stupendous intellect.
I don't know the first guy, but cabbage and the abacus gave me a light bulb moment.

Well done @JimInOz . Babbage is the guy. The guy in the clue is NBA player Charles Barkley.
When putting together the clues, I weighed showing the following picture of a Babbage Analytical engine, but that would have been a giveaway. I thought about ANALytical as a clue, but that was a non-starter! So abacus it was.

·Anybody else got an idea? I see Sir Alec Guinness, a fish called a “sauger”, a beautiful head of platinum hair, a ham, and a diving bell. But do I see an answer to this rebus? No! Stands to reason one of our “ace” rebus solvers should come up with a tough rebus!

I did speak too soon with the "American" part. Thank you.
It was fun though.

·@Charlemagne1333 . In my mind, the fish in your rebus is a sauger. As a clue, what part did it have in the answer?
