Ricky Gervais is a comic genius. He's totally relaxed and confidence is has delivery and as a writer, he and his partner are brilliant. The British ability to mix clever word-play and physical humor without being overbearing. I'm an actor who started as an extra and he has hit the nail right on the head. The only thing that's missing is the 'retired' extra. The man or woman who is over 65 who has nothing to do but sit around and knit or read trashy novels when they are not asking the cast and crew annoying questions. I have not seen "The Office" so I can't make the comparison that everyone else is making but I hope that HBO continue this series. The cameos are brilliant. With guest stars like Samuel L. Jackson and Kate Winslet, this series cannot hit a wrong note.
