Same character or not it's still acting.In what way is he an actor? He does the same thing in everything, that's not acting, that's just being cast to play yourself. (he's not the only one who does this, lots of "actors" have made great careers of it, but suggesting that what he does is acting is pushing it)
I do not have any time for him personally. He does "banter" doesn't he? i mean that is supposed to be his talent. If other like him fair play but he comes across as a man who needs a team behind him. He is ten a penny to be brutally honest and besides his belly nothing sticks out as a notable feature.
He was supposed to hold court in that lesbian vampire killer film and he fell flat on his face in it. If he is supposed to be funny at all then it really does not work, it does not come naturally to him. A fat lad shouting a lot is funny when your 15 but not so much when your 35.
A chat show can just about see him do ok i reckon and he has a huge team of writers behind him to do the funny gags etc.

He was more than alright in The History Boys.
Plus he's won a Tony award for whatever he does. He's no mug.
Underrated actor, as I said.
This site is an audition for Grumpy Old Men at times hahaNever got the hate. I don't particularly like him, but the amount of venom towards him (before today) was unjustified imo.
I tried it but neither me or the missus at the time got into it. I can however see that it was not shit, i was just not for me. I think a bit like Gervais he is best behind the camera yeah.Did you not like Gavin and Stacey. I thought it was great. It was his idea and he wrote it with Ruth Jones. Maybe he should stick to writing.
