 Film Trivia

The scene in the first episode where Ben Stiller tells an extra how to beat up an old lady with the butt of a gun was completely ad libbed.

Episode 6, the final one of the first series, was supposed to include a guest appearance by Jude Law, who pulled out and was replaced by Patrick Stewart. The final shot of that episode is dominated by a poster for the Jude Law film Alfie.

Meet Andy Millman, Actor. Never forgets his lines because he never gets any.

Andy (Ricky Gervais) is a desperate man. He's been an actor for five years but thanks to his useless agent (Stephen Merchant), he's never done any acting. Instead he's just a lowly film extra, walking around in the background while the stars do their lines.

Andy's only friend in the world is Maggie (Ashley Jensen), a fellow extra and a hopeless romantic. While Maggie pursues the man of her dreams, Andy decides he'll do whatever it takes to get himself noticed.

Each episode takes place on a different film set and features cameos from guest stars including Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson, Ross Kemp, Kate Winslet, Les Dennis and Patrick Stewart.
