Ricky Gervais is an English stand-up comedian, actor, director,
screenwriter, and singer.
Gervais worked initially in the music industry, attempting a career as a pop
star in the 1980s as the singer of the new-wave act Seona Dancing and working as
the manager of the then-unknown band, Suede, before turning to comedy. Gervais
appeared on The 11 O'Clock Show on Channel 4 between 1998 and 2000. In
2000, he was given a Channel 4 spoof talk show, Meet Ricky Gervais. He
achieved greater mainstream fame the following year with his BBC television mock
documentary series, The Office. It was followed by Extras in 2005.
He co-wrote and co-directed both programmes with Stephen Merchant. In addition
to writing and directing the shows, he played the lead roles of David Brent in
The Office and Andy Millman in Extras. He reprised his role as
Brent in the 2016 comedy film, David Brent: Life on the Road.
Gervais began his stand-up career in the late 1990s. He has performed five
multi-national stand-up comedy tours, and wrote the Flanimals book series.
Gervais, Merchant and Karl Pilkington created the podcast, The
Ricky Gervais Show, which has spawned various spin-offs starring Pilkington
and produced by Gervais and Merchant.
He has also starred in the Hollywood films, Ghost Town, The Night at the
Museum trilogy, For Your Consideration and Muppets Most Wanted.
He wrote, directed and starred in The Invention of Lying and the Netflix-released
Special Correspondents. He hosted the Golden Globe Awards in 2010,
2011, 2012 and 2016, and appears on the game show, Child Support.
Gervais has won seven BAFTA Awards, five British Comedy Awards, two Emmy
Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and the 2006 Rose d'Or, as well as
a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. In a 2004 poll for the BBC, he
was named the third-most influential person in British culture. In 2007, he was
voted the 11th-greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups
and again in the updated 2010 list as the 3rd-greatest stand-up comic. In 2010,
he was named on the TIME magazine's 100 list of the world's most influential
people.
