Ricky Gervais has been in a couple of big movies (STARDUST, FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION) and Clive Owen has been in a few you might have heard of too, so I'm making the call that this is news I can report. I'm not entirely sure how much of Extras you've had over there in the States, but it ran two excellent seasons in England and now we have a trailer for the upcoming Christmas trailer.
Looks all gravy to me. As you can see, on top of Owen, Gordon Ramsey (TV's Hell's Kitchen) and George Michael will be involved, the latter doing a nice little parody of himself. If you're completely unaware as to what Extras is, it's a TV show about a fella called Andy Millman (Gervais) who does work on films as an extra, but is desperately trying to make it as a real actor. A bunch of huge actors have appeared in episodes, from Orlando Bloom to Daniel Radcliffe.
Extra Tidbit:I couldn't choose, so HERE and HERE are two of the best moments from EXTRAS, if you haven't already seen the series.
I absolutely love this show. There is so much funny about it, I can't even explain it. The best part especially is getting big name stars (Patrick Stewart, Daniel Radcliffe, Kate Winslet, Ian Mckellan,& Ben Stiller)...
I absolutely love this show. There is so much funny about it, I can't even explain it. The best part especially is getting big name stars (Patrick Stewart, Daniel Radcliffe, Kate Winslet, Ian Mckellan,& Ben Stiller) to act and do things that are just the funniest thing you will ever see. The ep. where Kate Winslet teaches a main character how to talk dirty over the phone is classic. Ben Stiller directing a little girl to cry (that's all I'll say I don't want to ruin it for you) is so funny it will hurt. PLEASE I BEG ALL OF YOU TO WATCH THE 1ST 2 SEASONS, THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 12 EPS IN TOTAL, TO WATCH THIS EXCELLENT AND CLASSIC SHOW. There is so much to this show that it might having you peeing your pants it's that funny. AN ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH TO ANYONE THAT LIKES REALLY WELL WRITTEN COMEDY!
