Jasper/backstory

Jasper was born in Paw Island, Dog Falls. At the age of 5, he met Fluffy and became friends with her. He and Fluffy had been bestfriends since they were 5. When Jasper was 9, he started to develop feelings for Fluffy, but Fluffy said they will stay as bestfriends forever, so Jasper started liking Fluffy as a friend instead. He had a rich family and a big treehouse in his backyard, and that's where he and Fluffy would hang out every weekend or when they have a sleepover. Since he and the rest of The Gang were born in a war, they had separate schools, but after the war, Fluffy, Jasper, and Ram moved to the same school with Katie and Yuqi.

He is the only child in his family, so he has no brothers or sisters. And his house wasn't chaotic at all. At the age of 10, Jasper started to play video games with his bestfriends Fluffy, and they both enjoyed their time together.

When he was 13 years old, he, Fluffy, and The Gang stopped the war unintentionally, but when the war had stopped after 100 years, The Gang moved to the same school so they became friends.

Patrick Stewart

**Sir Patrick Stewart** OBE is an English actor. He appears in *Extras* as a fictionalised version of himself in the episode 'Patrick Stewart'.

Stewart has a career spanning six decades in various stage productions, television, film and video games. He has been nominated for Olivier, Tony, Golden Globe, Emmy, Screen Actors Guild, and Saturn Awards.

Beginning his career with a long run as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stewart received the 1979 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in *Antony and Cleopatra* in the West End. His first major screen roles were in BBC-broadcast television productions during the mid-late 1970s, including *Hedda*, and the *I, Claudius* television series.

From the 1980s onward, Stewart began working in American television and film, with prominent leading roles such as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in *Star Trek: The Next Generation*, its subsequent films, and *Star Trek: Picard*; as Professor Charles Xavier in the *X-Men* series of superhero films; the lead of the Starz TV series *Blunt Talk*; and voice roles such as CIA Deputy Director Avery Bullock in *American Dad!* and the narrator in *Ted*. Having remained with the Royal Shakespeare Company, in 2008 he played King Claudius in *Hamlet* in the West End and won a second Olivier Award.

In 1993, TV Guide named him the Best Dramatic Television Actor of the 1980s. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on 16 December 1996. In 2010, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to drama.

## Personality

In *Extras*, Patrick Stewart's personality is characterised by his crude venereal fascinations, uncreative authorship, and his narcissistic obsession with his prior acting work.

When Andy presents his screenplay for *When The Whistle Blows*, Stewart shares an idea for a screenplay of his own. It involves him playing a perverted character with telekinetic abilities similar to his *X-Men* character Charles Xavier who uses his powers to strip and gawk at random women. Andy is taken aback by the screenplay's lack of creativity given Stewart's respect in the industry and also by his worryingly perverted nature, fitting the "dirty old man" archetype.

Throughout the episode, Stewart makes references to his *Star Trek* character Jean-Luc Picard, uttering his catchphrase "I will make it so" to no avail or respect to those around him. He is mildly frustrated that nobody seems to understand the reference, and is even revolted and baffled by the fact that Andy is not married and is single but does not watch *Star Trek*.

## Trivia

* Patrick Stewart is one of two special guests in the series to have been knighted – the other being Ian McKellen. However, Stewart was not knighted until 2010 and hence his prefix was not included in the title of the episode, like was the case in 'Sir Ian McKellen' of Season 2.
Nicky Ladanowski

**Nicky Ladanowski** is an English actress and writer. In *Extras*, she portrays Simone Lewis in the first season episode 'Les Dennis'.

Outside of *Extras*, Ladanowski has appeared in dramas including *Coronation Street*, *Paradise Heights*, *Grease Monkeys*, *Hollyoaks*, and *The Sarah Jane Adventures* as well as the comedy *My Family*. Ladanowski has the distinction of having appeared in all three of Britain's most prestigious medical dramas; *Doctors*, *Holby City*, and *Casualty*.

Ben Stiller

**Benjamin Edward Meara Stiller** is an American actor, comedian, producer, film director, and screenwriter. In *Extras* he appears as a fictionalised version of himself in the episode 'Ben Stiller'.

Stiller is the son of the comedians and actors Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. After beginning his acting career with a play, he wrote several mockumentaries and was offered his own show, titled *The Ben Stiller Show*, which he produced and hosted for its 13-episode run. Having previously acted in television, he began acting in films. He made his directorial debut with *Reality Bites*. Throughout his career he has written, starred in, directed, or produced more than 50 films including *The Secret Life of Walter Mitty*, *Zoolander*, *The Cable Guy*, *There's Something About Mary*, the *Meet the Parents* trilogy, *DodgeBall*, *Tropic Thunder*, the *Madagascar* series, and the *Night at the Museum* trilogy. He has also made numerous cameos in music videos, television shows, and films.

Stiller is a member of a group of comedic actors colloquially known as the Frat Pack. His films have grossed more than $2.6 billion in Canada and the United States, with an average of $79 million per film. Throughout his career, he has received various awards and honours, including an Emmy Award, multiple MTV Movie Awards, a Britannia Award and a Teen Choice Award.

## Personality

In *Extras*, Ben Stiller is short-tempered, insensitive, perfectionistic, and mentally unsound. He often loses his temper on the set of his film, raising his voice at and threatening various cast and crew members; he even lashes out at Goran, a Yugoslav War survivor who Stiller's film is based on, for mentioning his deceased family too often.

The personality of his fictionalised self in *Extras* contrasts Stiller's relatively tame, composed, and inward-thinking personality in real life.

## Trivia

* After the *Extras* episode 'Ben Stiller', Stiller and Ricky Gervais worked together again on the *Night At The Museum* franchise; Stiller played night guard Larry Daley whilst Gervais played museum curator Dr. McPhee.
* Stiller's portrayal of himself is reminiscent of his appearance on the sitcom *Friends*. In the episode 'The One With The Screamer', Stiller plays Tommy – an enraged man who frightens and intimidates anyone who even slightly irritates him.

Richard Briers

**Richard David Briers** CBE was an English actor. In *Extras*, he appears in a cameo in the second season episode 'Chris Martin'.

Briers' fifty-year career encompassed film, radio, stage and television. He first came to prominence as George Starling in *Marriage Lines* (1961–66), but it was a decade later, when he narrated *Roobarb* and *Noah and Nelly in... SkylArk* (1974–76) and when he played Tom Good in the BBC sitcom *The Good Life* (1975–78), that he became a household name. Later, he starred as Martin in *Ever Decreasing Circles* (1984–89), and he had a leading role as Hector in *Monarch of the Glen* (2000–05). From the late 1980s, with Kenneth Branagh as director, he performed Shakespearean roles in *Henry V* (1989), *Much Ado About Nothing* (1993), *Hamlet* (1996), and *As You Like It* (2006).

## Personality

Richard Briers is delivering an earnest speech at the 2007 BAFTA TV Awards ceremony which is interrupted by Darren accidentally setting off the talking merchandise toy of Andy's sitcom character Ray Stokes. As the toy continues to repeat the character's catchphrase "Are you 'avin a laugh?", Briers becomes increasingly frustrated. Eventually, he storms off stage to Andy's table, snatches the toy, slams it on the table, throws it to the ground and stomps on it several times, afterwards receiving an ovation from the audience. In this relatively brief cameo, Briers shows a short-tempered and somewhat aggressive side to his personality.
NatWest

**NatWest** (formally **National Westminster Bank**) is a major retail and commercial bank in the United Kingdom. In *Extras*, it is Andy Millman's former place of employment, where he worked from 1986 to 1999 before abandoning his job as a banker to pursue acting full-time. The particular branch he worked at in Wokingham and his former manager there respectively serve as inspiration for the setting and main character of Andy's sitcom *When the Whistle Blows*.

The bank was established in 1968 by the merger of National Provincial Bank and Westminster Bank. In 2000, it became part of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, which was re-named NatWest Group in 2020. Following ring-fencing of the group's core domestic business, the bank became a direct subsidiary of NatWest Holdings; NatWest Markets comprises the non-ring-fenced investment banking arm. The British government currently owns around 48.1%, previously 54.7% of NatWest Group after spending 45 billion pounds ($61.87 billion) bailing out the lender in 2008.

NatWest is considered one of the Big Four clearing banks in the UK, and it has a large network of over 960 branches and 3,400 cash machines across Great Britain and offers 24-hour *Actionline* telephone and online banking services. Today, it has more than 7.5 million personal customers and 850,000 small business accounts. In Northern Ireland, it operates through its Ulster Bank brand. In 2017, NatWest was awarded Best Banking App in the British Bank Awards.
Maggie Jacobs

**Margaret 'Maggie' Jacobs** is a major supporting character in the television series *Extras*. She is portrayed by Scottish actress Ashley Jensen. Maggie is the only character besides from protagonist Andy Millman to feature in every episode of the show.

Maggie is characterised as a genuinely kind and supportive individual who only wants to help out. Unfortunately for her and those around her, she is also portrayed as being rather socially inept and lacking in any sort of internal censor or sense of tact, which means that she's more likely to say precisely the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person, and thus create more trouble for herself and those around her (especially Andy, whom she frequently embarrasses by inadvertently puncturing his pretensions towards being an actor). Although the character possesses no malicious intent, she also appears to be rather childlike and poorly educated when it comes to matters of race and political correctness – which, when coupled with her general tactlessness, frequently results in her causing genuine offence through inadvertent insults and stereotypes.

In series two her earthy ways are shown to contrast greatly with the pretensions of Andy's new friends. Gervais has stated that he thinks the personality of Maggie resembles a female version of Karl Pilkington, whose friendship with Gervais and Stephen Merchant was developing during the time *Extras* was being written. During the series Andy even explains that he and Maggie are friends because she's so stupid and it amuses him, which is precisely what Gervais has said about Pilkington.

Maggie is rather man-hungry, and throughout the series she is constantly on the lookout for "Mr. Right." However, owing to circumstance and her aforementioned tendency to commit social faux-pas, the relationships she starts with men throughout the series rarely last long. However, there have been instances in which the men she is interested in turn out to be very much less than desirable, through no fault of her own. In one episode she was constantly pestered and eventually kissed by Orlando Bloom, even though she had told him that she did not find him particularly attractive.

Maggie never experiences a great level of success within the acting industry. She never gets her big break like Andy does, and is consistently stuck with extras work. To keep her afloat, she also works at a pub as a bartender or waitress. She has played many unglamorous background roles over her career, including archetypal "hags, washerwomen, and toothless wenches".

## Summary

The critical response for *When the Whistle Blows* is entirely negative but Andy gets encouragement from the public as he is recognised in the street and in his local pub. However, he isn't eager to endlessly repeat his catchphrase from the show. Andy visits a celebrity bar, where he is briefly treated as a VIP. He tries to talk with David Bowie, who proceeds to make up a song ridiculing him, resulting in Andy returning to the pub to be surrounded by genuine fans.

* David Bowie and Ricky Gervais were often fooling around off-camera. At one point, after Bowie left the room, Gervais had a producer play Bowie's song "Lady Stardust" on the piano. When he returned, Bowie was astonished and delighted to hear the song. As revenge, Bowie later went to the producer's piano, saying "Watch this!", and playing the intro of his song "Oh! You Pretty Things".
* After Ricky Gervais sent David Bowie his lyrics for what would later become the "Chubby Little Loser" song, he called him and asked if he could play something retro, like 'Life on Mars?'. Bowie responded "Yeah, I'll just knock off a quick fucking 'Life on Mars?' for you."

## Cultural references

* A reviewer criticising *When the Whistle Blows* compares the sitcom to the 1973 television series *Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em* with the catchphrase "Ooh Betty!"
* Darren mistakenly prints out a review of *The Wind in the Willows* (1983), confusing the title for Andy's sitcom.
* Darren, talking about how he should consider losing weight to fit a greater variety of acting roles, suggests Andy consider being on *Celebrity Fit Club* and *Celebrity Love Island*.
Jackie Greer

**Jacqueline "Jackie" Greer** is a minor character in the television series *Extras*. She appears as a supporting character in the first season episode 'Ben Stiller'. She is portrayed by English actress Lisa Sadovy.

Jackie is an old friend of Maggie and Andy, although her somewhat exuberant personality and extroverted nature make her someone that the pair try to avoid. Neither are keen to attend her upcoming birthday party, so in advance of her inviting them, they plan on making excuses. Maggie, however, fails to convince her and hesitantly agrees to be there; Andy manages to get out of it, but when he hears that Martin – the producer of Ben Stiller's war film (which Andy is an extra in) and an old friend of Jackie's – will be attending, he turns up alongside Maggie anyway. Similarly, Maggie has a change of heart to attending the party and is more looking forward to it after learning that her love interest Jon will be there also.

At the party, Maggie and Andy greet Jackie at the entrance of the club. She is surprised that Andy has turned up, believing that his apparently ailing sister would keep him from attending, as mentioned in his previous excuse. She is happy to see them both and seems to enjoy herself. Maggie and Andy eventually leave the party after making fools of themselves, insulting Jon for his uneven legs and racistly insulting Martin's Japanese-American wife.
Andrew Buckley

**Andrew Buckley** is an English actor. In *Extras*, he appears as an actor on the Andy Millman sitcom *When the Whistle Blows*, playing the character Gobbler.

Outside of *Extras*, Buckley has appeared in *Jimi: All Is By My Side* (2013), *Skeletons* (2010), and *Wallander* (2008).

Darren Lamb

**Darren Lamb** is a major supporting character in the television series *Extras*. He is portrayed by Stephen Merchant.

Darren is Andy Millman's agent since 2000. He is utterly incapable of breaking an act, and his usual negotiating tactic is to simply agree with whatever anyone else says, or suggest someone other than his client for the part. He is very good at deducting his 12.5% commission ("15% for adverts") despite frequently having done nothing to contribute to his act's success. For example, in series two episode two, whilst in the pub, he asks for £27.50 from Barry for the £220 he was paid for fixing someone's gutter, despite having no involvement in getting him the job. He can often be seen begging for this type of payment. His lack of professional skills is typified by the occasion he inadvertently left his office phone unplugged for two days without noticing. He is also known to make inappropriate remarks at the least helpful of times. Darren works part-time at the Carphone Warehouse, but in Episode 4 of Series 2, he mentions he only works on Saturdays while "Narinder" is pregnant.

Despite these (and more) overwhelming examples of incompetence, Darren is nevertheless the agent of the series' protagonist, the frustrated Andy, who is more than aware of his agent's utter uselessness but nevertheless feels compelled to retain him out of a slightly perverse mixture of responsibility and sympathy. Darren is also the agent of "Barry off EastEnders".

In episode six of the second series, an increasingly stressed Andy threatens to sack Darren after he is caught masturbating and relaxing in his office. However, Darren manages to arrange a meeting between Darren and his hero Robert De Niro, with the indication given that he managed to keep his job as a result.

Darren does not have a regular girlfriend and his rather crude way of chatting up women (as seen in episode two of series two) means few have any wish to fulfil his sexual desires. In the fourth episode he actually managed to invite Maggie to his house, things go well until Darren tries to break an un-flushable faeces in his toilet into pieces with a whisk, causing Maggie to leave his house in disgust.

Gervais initially worked in the music industry. He attempted a career as a pop star in the 1980s as the singer of the new-wave act Seona Dancing, and managed the then-unknown band Suede before turning to comedy. He appeared on *The 11 O'Clock Show* on Channel 4 between 1998 and 2000, garnering a reputation as an outspoken and sharp-witted social provocateur. 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*, followed by *Extras* in 2005, both of which he co-wrote and co-directed with Stephen Merchant, and in which he played the lead roles of David Brent (*The Office*) and Andy Millman (*Extras*).

Clive Owen

**Clive Owen** is an English actor. In *Extras*, he portrays a fictionalised version of himself in the Christmas Special episode 'The Extra Special Series Finale'.

Owen first gained recognition in the United Kingdom for playing the lead role in the ITV series *Chancer* from 1990 to 1991. He received critical acclaim for his work in the film *Close My Eyes* (1991) before earning international attention for his performance as a struggling writer in *Croupier* (1998). In 2005, he won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award and was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in the drama *Closer* (2004).

Owen has played leading roles in films such as *Sin City* (2005), *Derailed* (2005), *Inside Man* (2006), *Children of Men* (2006), and *The International* (2009). In 2012, he earned his first Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for his role in *Hemingway & Gellhorn*. He played Dr. John W. Thackery on the Cinemax medical drama series *The Knick*, for which he received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama nomination. In 2021, he starred in a psychological romance horror miniseries *Lisey's Story* and also portrayed President Bill Clinton in the third season of *American Crime Story*.

## Personality

Clive Owen recently starred in *Byron: A Life*, a historical drama film in which he plays the title character George Gordon Byron alongside Greg Lindley-Jones as Percy Shelley. The film opened to rave reviews and a sequel is in production. Andy auditions for a role in this film, however his history with rival Greg and a wardrobe malfunction with a corset leads to him leaving the audition before it finishes.

Maggie manages to seal a role as an extra in the film, and is set to portray a prostitute that Owen's character sleeps with and disgraces. Clive insults Maggie to a producer, pretending she is not beside him, claiming that he deserves a better woman as the actor he is and that his character "wouldn't pay for that". After Maggie leaves the set when Clive suggests throwing animal faeces in her face, Clive insults the next woman in line to play the character as well.

In *Extras*, Clive Owen is portrayed as sexist, misogynistic, and rude, which contrasts his public persona of a respectable gentleman.
Chris Martin

**Christopher Anthony John Martin** is an English singer, songwriter and musician. In *Extras*, he portrays a fictionalised version of himself in the second season episode 'Chris Martin'; he also performs the closing theme, "Tea For The Tillerman", on the episode.

Martin is best known as the lead vocalist, pianist and co-founder of the rock band Coldplay, with whom he has won several accolades, including seven Grammy Awards and nine Brit Awards. They have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, making them the most successful band of the 21st century and one of the world's best-selling music artists. Martin appeared on Debrett's 2017 list of most influential people in the United Kingdom.

Born in Exeter, Devon, he went to University College London, where the band Starfish was formed with classmates Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion. Renamed Coldplay in 1998, they found worldwide fame with the release of the song "Yellow" in 2000 and received acclaim for albums such as *A Rush of Blood to the Head*, *Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends*, and others.

## Personality

Chris Martin first appears after Andy at the filming of a charity appeal video. He urges that the filming finish as soon as possible because he wants to get home and watch *Deal or No Deal?* During the filming, he continues suggesting to the producer a promotion of Coldplay's greatest hits album. When she insists against it, he continues to do the appeal video with a branded shirt anyway. He also tells Andy that he is interested on appearing on his sitcom *When the Whistle Blows*; Andy is hesitant, fearing that a celebrity cameo would seem desperate. However, Darren arranges a day that is suitable for filming with Chris anyway.

On the set of *When the Whistle Blows*, Chris films his cameo. His appearance is largely dominated by his performance of the Coldplay song "Fix You". Despite Andy's protests that an international music star showing up to a factory in Wigan would make no sense, the episode is sent to air; it eventually leads to the sitcom being nominated for a BAFTA. In the US version of the episode, Chris appears a final time in a post-credits scene, playing "Fix You" again in a duet with Andy's character Ray Stokes.

In *Extras*, Chris Martin's genuinely altruistic public persona is juxtaposed; he appears to be only filming his charity appeal video for the sake of it, not caring for the actual cause, and instead seeing it as an opportunity to promote Coldplay's album. His insistence on appearing on *When the Whistle Blows* shows his desire for fame and widespread media coverage, being infatuated by his own celebrity.

Goran

Goran (left) with Ben Stiller

**Goran** is a minor character in the television series *Extras*. He appears as a supporting character in the first season episode 'Ben Stiller'. He is portrayed by **Boris Boscovic**.

Goran is an Eastern-European man whose wife and son were murdered in the Yugoslav Wars. A screenplay on his life and personal experiences of the wars is the basis for a film directed by American actor/director Ben Stiller.

## Biography

Goran was born in an unknown region of Yugoslavia. He has a cousin who develops photographs. He and his family were directly affected by the Yugoslav Wars (1991–2001), with his wife and son losing their lives. Goran managed to survive and emigrated to the United Kingdom, where he wrote about his traumatic experience. Later this was turned into a screenplay that director Ben Stiller is using as the basis for a film in the first episode of *Extras*.

Goran is a sensitive and quiet man who is still deeply affected by the deaths of his wife and son during wartime. Despite the wars ending and having lost his family no less than four years prior, he is still constantly in a state of grief. When Andy approaches and befriends Goran with the ulterior motive of earning speaking lines in the film, Goran bores him with details of the war and his trauma. He passively agrees to speak to Stiller to negotiate lines for Andy, and forgets about the agreement shortly after. When Andy reminds him, he immediately goes to Stiller and Andy earns his lines. As a show of appreciation, Andy gives Goran a gift card for Topshop worth £15; Goran seems confused by the idea of the card but graciously accepts.

Later, Andy asks Goran again for some more speaking lines. Goran immediately goes to Stiller to talk about it. Stiller lashes out at Goran for asking for changes to the script, with Stiller aggressively reminding him that he's in charge. When Goran points out that it's his screenplay and life that the film is based on, Stiller yells "Would you stop talking about your fucking dead wife?!" The whole cast and crew are in shock and Goran is upset and frightened. Maggie stands up for Goran and confronts Stiller, with him promptly lashing out at her. Andy in turn stands up for Maggie, after which Stiller kicks him off set.

Due to Stiller's insulting outburst at Goran, the film likely went ahead without Goran as a consultant, if at all.

## Boris Boscovic

**Boris Boscovic** (also spelt Boskovic) is an Eastern-European (most likely Serbian) actor and producer who has worked as crew on *Casino Royale* (2006), *The Jackal* (1997), and *Breaking and Entering* (2006). His other acting credits outside of *Extras* include the television series *The Bill*, *Ultimate Force*, *Bodyguards*, and *Casualty*.
Warwick Davis

**Warwick Ashley Davis** is an English actor, comedian, film-maker, and television presenter. In *Extras*, he portrays a fictionalised version of himself in the second season episode 'Daniel Radcliffe'.

Davis played the title character in *Willow* (1988) and the *Leprechaun* film series (1993–2003), several characters in the *Star Wars* film series (1983–2019), most notably the Ewok Wicket, and Professor Filius Flitwick and Griphook in the *Harry Potter* film series (2001–2011). Davis starred as a fictionalised version of himself in the sitcom *Life's Too Short* (2012–2013). He has also presented the ITV game shows *Celebrity Squares* (2014–2015) and *Tenable* (2016–2021).

Active within the industry since he was twelve, Davis is the highest grossing supporting actor of all time (excluding cameo appearances), owing predominantly to his appearances in the *Star Wars* and *Harry Potter* series of films.

## Personality

Warwick Davis is co-starring in a children's fantasy film with Daniel Radcliffe, whom he had previously acted with in the *Harry Potter* film franchise. He is portraying a forest sage as the deuteragonist of Radcliffe's character. He is engaged to a woman named Claire, his relationship with whom is joked about by film extras Andy and Maggie due to the height difference in the couple. Andy jokingly says that he would have a chance with Claire if Warwick wasn't a famous actor, and Maggie shares this with Claire. The word eventually gets around to Warwick, who is infuriated. At the end of the episode, he confronts Andy for his comments about Claire and begins to fight him. Andy initially refuses to get involved, backing off and taking the hits that Warwick throws at him. Eventually, Andy retaliates and knees Warwick in the face, incapacitating him, to the shock of the onlooking cast and crew.

In *Extras*, Warwick Davis reflects the cheerful and happy-go-lucky personality characteristic of his public persona. He is also very protective of his fiancée Claire, willing to fight a man significantly taller than him (i.e. Andy) and ignoring the potential consequences. In 2006 Warwick had been married to his real-life wife Samantha Burroughs for 15 years.
