"Extras" (2005)

The British phenomenon and 2007 Emmy®-winner Ricky Gervais, founder of BBCs original The Office, stars in the hilariously funny series Extras, now available in a Gift Set! Watch the story unfold as Ricky Gervais plays a lowly film extra, Andy Millman, who makes his mark in the background while the stars do their work. This Gift Set is packaged in a slip case that includes both Seasons of the hit series Extras and a 90 minute series finale, never before released on DVD! Extras: The show with big, big stars... and Andy Millman.

What happens when an unknown actor who can't catch a break actually catches one? For Andy Millman, who's just broken through with a TV sitcom called When the Whistle Blows, celebrity doesn't necessarily mean happiness - it just means your follies and fauxes-pas get that much more attention. Extras: The show with big, big stars...and Andy Millman.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant follow up their brilliant British sitcom The Office with this wry show-biz comedy about an aspiring actor (Gervais) whose career consists of nothing but extra work, his ditzy best friend (Ashley Jensen) who is happy in the background, and his worthless agent (Merchant) who hasn't quite grasped the nature of what an agent actually does. Guest stars include Kate Winslet, Ben Affleck, Patrick Stewart, Samuel L. Jackson, and British personalities Ross Kemp and Les Dennis, all playing themselves and spoofing their own images.
