    Ben Stiller

    Meet Andy Millman, Actor. Never forgets his lines because he never gets any. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have struck comedy gold again with the BAFTA, EMMY and Golden Globe winning "Extras". The BBC hit comedy "Extras" brings to life the mundane tedium of the life of Andy Millman (Gervais). Andy is a desperate man. He’s been an actor for five years but thanks to his useless agent (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 Jenson), 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.
