Master film actor and thespian Sir Ian McKellen

Ian McKellen Reveals Secrets of Acting in 2 Minutes

Okay, so pretty much everything from the Ricky Gervais show Extras is downright hilarious. And this is no exception. You can definitely see the ‘Office-style’ humor in top form here as Andy Millman’s (Gervais) reaction is just as funny as McKellen. This show had to be a blast to make, and it’s such a delight to watch!

Probably the funniest scenein the whole series — and that’s saying something given the number of laugh-inducing scenes. McKellen is brilliant, but, yes, it’s Gervais’ facial expressions that elevate the scene. Comedy gold. When McKellen exclaims, “You are NOT REALLY JOHN,” I lose it.

Grab a chunk of charcoal or a crayon or maybe even draw with your eraser on a smudgy mess.
