Extras
Big, big big, stars. And this guy.
Created by Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant
A caustic, character-driven comedy about failed ambition and self-delusion, built on deadpan satire of celebrity culture and the gap between aspiration and reality.
Andy Millman gave up his day job five years ago in the hope of achieving the big time, but he’s yet to land a speaking part, let alone saunter down the red carpet to pick up an Oscar. He remains optimistic however, as rubbing shoulders with the A-list on-set only serves to reinforce his belief that the big time is just a job or two away.
