Patrick Malahide

**Patrick Gerald Duggan**, known professionally as **Patrick Malahide**, is a British actor, author and producer. He appears in *Extras* in 'Samuel L. Jackson', in character as 'Minister' alongside Samuel L. Jackson in film.

Malahide is a veteran actor who has performed in film, television, and theatre. He is best known for his television roles as Inspector Alleyn in *The Inspector Alleyn Mysteries*, Detective Sergeant Albert “Charlie” Chisholm in the television series *Minder*, and Balon Greyjoy in *Game of Thrones*. In film, he has appeared in *The World Is Not Enough* (1999), *Brideshead Revisited* (2008), and *Mortal Engines* (2018).

Lizzie Bunton

**Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bunton** is a minor character in the television series *Extras*. She appears as a supporting character in the first season episode 'Les Dennis'. She is portrayed by English actress Rebecca Gethings.

Lizzie is an old friend of Maggie Jacobs. The two had met whilst working on the BBC Kids programme *The Orphans of Penny Farthing Lane*. Lizzie is the daughter of theatrical director and choreographer Ian "Bunny" Bunton, and she works as a chorus dancer. She is dancing in her father's pantomime production of *Aladdin*, which stars Les Dennis and Andy Millman.

Lizzie invites a hesitant Maggie to her 29th birthday party, where the only guests outside of her mother, father, and Nana are elderly family friends. Lizzie gets into a dispute with her father upstairs about her outfit, with Bunny telling her to change. Maggie checks in on her and makes her question whether Lizzie really wants to pursue the life path that her father has forced her on, insisting that Bunny is "suffocating" Lizzie.

The planned song-and-dance routine performed by Lizzie and Bunny runs fairly smoothly until the final song, where Lizzie holds the final note one bar too early. This thoroughly disappoints her father, who berates her for not rehearsing or focusing. Lizzie stands up to her father, citing that Maggie had woken her up to the charade that she was living under. After Lizzie storms out of the room, an infuriated Bunny kicks Maggie out of the party, claiming she has "fucked up" his daughter's life.
BBC

The **BBC** (formally the **British Broadcasting Corporation**) is the national broadcaster of the United Kingdom. It was the co-producer of *Extras* (alongside HBO) and aired the series on BBC Two (Seasons 1 and 2) and BBC One (Christmas Special). Within the show itself, Andy Millman brings his sitcom *When the Whistle Blows* to the BBC to get it developed in collaboration with writer Damon Beesley and production executive Iain Morris. The sitcom airs on BBC Two from 2006 to 2007.

Headquartered at Broadcasting House in London, the BBC is the world's oldest national broadcaster, and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees, employing over 22,000 staff in total, of whom approximately 19,000 are in public-sector broadcasting.

The BBC is established under a royal charter and operates under its agreement with the secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport. Its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations using any type of equipment to receive or record live television broadcasts and iPlayer catch-up. The fee is set by the British Government, agreed by Parliament, and is used to fund the BBC's radio, TV, and online services covering the nations and regions of the UK. Since 1 April 2014, it has also funded the BBC World Service (launched in 1932 as the BBC Empire Service), which broadcasts in 28 languages and provides comprehensive TV, radio, and online services in Arabic and Persian.

Around a quarter of the BBC's revenue comes from its commercial subsidiary BBC Studios (formerly BBC Worldwide), which sells BBC programmes and services internationally and also distributes the BBC's international 24-hour English-language news services BBC World News, and from BBC.com, provided by BBC Global News Ltd. In 2009, the company was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in recognition of its international achievements.

From its inception, through the Second World War (where its broadcasts helped to unite the nation), to the popularisation of television in the post-WW2 era and the internet in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the BBC has played a prominent role in British life and culture. It is colloquially known as **the Beeb**, **Auntie**, or a combination of both (**Auntie Beeb**).

HBO

**HBO** (formally **Home Box Office**) is an American pay television network, which is the flagship property of namesake parent subsidiary Home Box Office, Inc., itself a unit owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. It was the co-producer of *Extras* (alongside the BBC) and aired all episodes of the series on its network.

Programming featured on HBO consists primarily of theatrically released motion pictures and original television programs as well as made-for-cable movies, documentaries, occasional comedy and concert specials, and periodic interstitial programs (consisting of short films and making-of documentaries).

HBO is the oldest and longest continuously operating subscription television service in the United States. HBO pioneered modern pay television upon its launch on November 8, 1972: it was the first television service to be directly transmitted and distributed to individual cable television systems, and was the conceptual blueprint for the "premium channel," pay television services sold to subscribers for an extra monthly fee that do not accept traditional advertising and present their programming without editing for objectionable material. It eventually became the first television channel in the world to begin transmitting via satellite—expanding the growing regional pay service, originally available to cable and multipoint distribution service (MDS) providers in the northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England, into a national television network—in September 1975, and, alongside sister channel Cinemax, was among the first two American pay television services to offer complimentary multiplexed channels in August 1991.

The network operates seven 24-hour, linear multiplex channels as well as a traditional subscription video on demand platform (HBO On Demand) and its content is the centrepiece of HBO Max, an expanded streaming platform operated separately from but sharing management with Home Box Office, Inc., which also includes original programming produced exclusively for the service and content from other WarnerMedia properties. The HBO linear channels are not presently accessible on HBO Max, but continue to be available to existing subscribers of traditional and virtual pay television providers (including Hulu, which also sells its HBO add-on independently of the streaming service's live TV tier) and as live streams to legacy Roku customers through existing streaming partnerships with those companies.

The overall Home Box Office business unit—based at WarnerMedia's corporate headquarters inside 30 Hudson Yards in Manhattan's West Side district—is one of Warner Bros. Discovery's most profitable assets, generating operating income of nearly $2 billion each year as of 2017.

Carphone Warehouse

The **Carphone Warehouse Limited** was a mobile phone retailer based in London, United Kingdom. In *Extras*, the characters Darren Lamb and Barry work at an outlet of the company, along with former *EastEnders* star Dean Gaffney.

The company was founded in 1989 by Charles Dunstone and Julian Brownlie. During its heyday, it was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was a constituent of the FTSE 200 Index. In 2014, it was involved with a merger with Dixons Retail, becoming a subsidiary of Currys plc (formerly Dixons Carphone). After the closure of all stand-alone stores in the UK in April 2020, all former Carphone Warehouse stores were operating under the name of Currys PC World. The following year, all stores in Ireland also closed. The company was absorbed into Currys in October 2021.
Greg Lindley-Jones

**Gregory 'Greg' Lindley-Jones** is a supporting character in the television series *Extras*. He is portrayed by English actor Shaun Pye. As the main rival of protagonist Andy Millman, Greg is the *de facto* antagonist of the series.

Greg is an arrogant and mean-spirited Royal Academy of Dramatic Art graduate and Andy's frenemy. Like Andy, he started out as an extra, struggling to get more significant roles. However, unlike Andy, he has managed to secure lines in various productions such as *The Bill* and consequently he possesses a rather high opinion of himself and is constantly bullying Andy. Andy rarely gets ahead in his encounters with Greg. In 'Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones', it is revealed he is subsidised by his wealthy parents. While both Andy and Greg are suitably advantaged so that they can afford to work full-time in minor acting roles, Greg's through a privileged background and Andy's through a previous career at the bank. Greg is notably annoyed when Andy tries to celebrate his BBC series triumph with fellow extras in 'Patrick Stewart'.

Greg gradually gains more recognition as a successful stage, television and eventually film actor. In the Christmas special he boasts to Andy how the fictitious film *Byron: A Life* – in which he starred alongside Clive Owen – is number one in the UK film charts and number two in America. Andy becomes envious of the fact Greg is now a well-respected Hollywood actor whilst he is only recognised for featuring in a lowbrow sitcom.

Simone Lewis

**Simone Lewis** is a minor character in the television series *Extras*. She appears as a supporting character in the first season episode 'Les Dennis'. She is portrayed by English actress Nicky Ladanowski.

Simone is the young, attractive fiancée of television presenter and actor Les Dennis. They were recently engaged, with Les purchasing Simone an expensive engagement ring. He introduces and flaunts her to Andy. After the axing of his show *Family Fortunes,* recent tabloid attention surrounding his highly-publicised divorce, and a personally gruelling time on the reality show *Celebrity Big Brother*, Simone represents an optimistic new chapter of Les's life.

However, Simone is not faithful to Les and is cheating on him with a stage hand. Les, who is none the wiser, confesses to Andy that he is having second thoughts about marrying her, thinking that the tabloids would ruin her young life as a result. Andy subsequently lifts a weight off his shoulders and tells Les that he caught Simone kissing another man, which sends Les on a downward spiral. He crashes mid-show, ranting to the audience and questioning his existence.
Lisa Sadovy

**Lisa Sadovy** is an English actress. In *Extras*, she portrays Andy and Maggie's old friend Jackie Greer in the first season episode 'Ben Stiller'.

Outside of *Extras*, she has appeared in numerous West End and Broadway theatrical productions, including *Into the Woods*, *Oh!

Vinnie Jones

**Vincent Peter 'Vinnie' Jones** is a British actor, producer, singer, presenter, and former professional footballer. In *Extras* he plays a fictionalised version of himself in the episode 'Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones'.

Jones played professionally as a defensive midfielder from 1984 to 1999, notably for Wimbledon, Leeds United, Sheffield United, Chelsea, and Queens Park Rangers. He also played for and captained the Welsh national team, having qualified through a Welsh grandparent. Best remembered for his time at Wimbledon as a pivotal member of the famous "Crazy Gang", he won the 1988 FA Cup with the London side, a club for which he played over 200 games during two spells between 1986 and 1998. He played 184 games in the Premier League, in which he scored 13 goals. Throughout his career, Jones gained a reputation for a highly aggressive and physically uncompromising style of play, earning him a "hard man" image on and off the field.

Since retiring from football in 1998, Jones capitalised on his tough image and is now well known as an actor; he is often typecast as violent criminals and thugs. His film career began with *Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels* (1998) and continued with roles in films such as *Snatch* (2000), *Gone in 60 Seconds* (2000), *Mean Machine* (2001), and Juggernaut in *X-Men: The Last Stand* (2006). He has also appeared on television, namely as Sebastian Moran in *Elementary* and Brick in *Arrow*.

## Personality

In *Extras*, as opposed to his rival Ross Kemp (who has a hard-man reputation but is in fact cowardly), Vinnie Jones is seemingly true to his public image as a hard-man. When indirectly challenge by Kemp to a fight, Jones shows up without hesitation to Kemp's film set with the intention of setting him straight.
Martin

**Martin** 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 English actor Jay Villiers.

Martin is the producer of Ben Stiller's war film, based on the life of Goran and his traumatic experiences during the Yugoslav Wars. He is an old friend of Jackie Greer, a mutual friend of Maggie and Andy, both extras in the film. Martin is to attend Jackie's birthday party, which Andy originally withdrew from attending; however, after he hears that Martin will be there, he changes his mind and decides to go, hoping to strike up conversation with him and earn further speaking lines in the film.

At the party, Martin is chatting with a group in the club, accompanied by his wife, a Japanese-American woman. Andy struggles to find a way into the conversation and impulsively buys the group a round of drinks. Later, he squeezes himself onto a lounge next to Martin and interjects himself again. Andy says that he is deeply thankful for Martin's work as producer on the film. They talk about his inspirations, which brings up the topic of Japanese cinema, an area which Martin is a fanatic of. To fit in, Andy feins interest as well and smiles and nods to everything that Martin says. The conversation travels smoothly for Andy, however despite his pleas Martin can not promise Andy a new role in the film with further speaking lines, saying that all roles have been casted.

Andy is taken out of the conversation by Maggie. Andy lets Maggie know that her romantic interest, Jon, has one leg shorter than the other; Maggie backs out of her arrangement to leave from the party with him. On his way out in frustration, Jon lets Martin's group know of Maggie and Andy's insulting behaviour towards him. When the pair return to the group, Maggie is targeted for being shallow. Whilst defending Maggie, he mentions skin colour and racistly insults Martin's wife by referring to her as "yellow". Andy tries to defend himself by saying he doesn't know the intricate differences between the appearances of Chinese and Japanese people, which causes Maggie to sing a racist children's rhyme that results in them both leaving out of embarrassment.
Orlando Bloom

**Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Copeland Bloom** is an English actor. In *Extras*, he portrays a fictionalised version of himself in the second season episode 'Orlando Bloom'.

Bloom made his breakthrough as the character Legolas in *The Lord of the Rings* film series, a role he reprised in *The Hobbit* film series. He gained further notice appearing in epic fantasy, historical, and adventure films, notably as Will Turner in the *Pirates of the Caribbean* film series.

Bloom appeared in Hollywood films such as *Paris in Troy* (2004) and Balian de Ibelin in *Kingdom of Heaven* (2005). He stars in the Amazon Prime Video series *Carnival Row* (2019–present).

He made his professional stage debut in *In Celebration* at the Duke of York's Theatre in the West End in 2007 and starred in a Broadway adaptation of *Romeo and Juliet* in 2013. In 2009, Bloom was named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. In 2015 he received the BAFTA Britannia Humanitarian Award.

## Personality

In *Extras*, Orlando Bloom is starring in a courtroom drama film alongside Sophia Miles, whom he shares an on-screen kiss with in the opening scene of the episode. Later, he is surrounded by female fans whom he gives autographs as Maggie Jacobs – who is an extra in the film – watches on from a distance. When Orlando notices Maggie rolling her eyes at him, he goes over to chat with her. She tells him that she doesn't understand all the fuss over him, and Orlando is determined to prove to Maggie that he is worthy of the buzz around him and his sex appeal.

During the 2000s, Orlando Bloom was the subject of many tabloid stories, with his relationships with American actress Kate Bosworth (2003–2006) and Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr (2007–2013) being of particular focus. He was often ranked among the most handsome men in Britain and featured on several magazine covers. Orlando's otherwise humble personality is juxtaposed in *Extras*, revealing a self-obsessed and egotistical nature out of the public eye. He is so convinced that he is as attractive and alluring as the media portray him that he obsesses over Maggie because she is seemingly the only woman who does not find him attractive. He even goes to the extent of kissing her, to which she reacts underwhelmingly.

Throughout the episode, Orlando belittles friend and *Pirates of the Caribbean* co-star Johnny Depp, saying that on-set he was outcasted by the women and made to look like a tramp by comparison to himself. The way that Orlando talks about Depp implies that he has a secret admiration and respect for him, kept under wraps by his consistent, somewhat unconvincing denial of this.
Suzanne

**Suzanne** is a minor character in *Extras*. She appears as a supporting character in the first season episode 'Kate Winslet'. She is portrayed by English actress Charlotte Palmer.

Suzanne is an extra in the Holocaust drama film starring Kate Winslet, acting alongside her as a nun. She meets Andy, who is also an extra in the film, initially joking with each other in passing.

On her way to the bathroom, Maggie comes across Suzanne and her sister Fran who has cerebral palsy. Maggie initially thinks the limping Fran has had an accident. Fran jokes about tap-dancing, which falls short of Maggie.

Suzanne, Fran, Maggie and Andy later talk in a group and the topic eventually reaches religion. Suzanne says that she and Fran are "quite religious" and Fran asks the remaining members of the group their stance on God and heaven. Andy, not wanting to dishearten Fran, lies and asserts that he is Catholic.

Suzanne and Andy hang out with each other off-set, joking and flirting with one another. Suzanne eventually invites Andy to a "get-together" with her friends that evening. Andy, believing it to be some kind of party, dresses in a white leisure suit. However, the get-together turns out to be a religious meeting, and Andy seems out of place. Suzanne introduces Andy to the presiding Father, who grows suspicious of Andy's purported Catholic beliefs after he goes on an uncontrolled tangent about pedophilia and contraception. It doesn't take long for the Father to expose Andy's lies, and Suzanne feels betrayed. She shoots down the potential of her ever sleeping with him anyway due to her strong stance against sex before marriage.
Mark

**Mark** is a minor character in *Extras*. He is a supporting character in the first season episode 'Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones', becoming a love interest and eventual short-term boyfriend of Maggie Jacobs. He is portrayed by English actor Raymond Coulthard.

Mark is an extra on the same period television series that Maggie and Andy Millman are also appearing in. He is tall and handsome and catches Maggie's attention. However, she is worried he is too smart for her because he reads "the big newspapers" and inadvertently makes her feel stupid. Her first attempt at flirting with him, in line at the restrooms, fails due to him being told by another woman in line that she has diarrhoea.

Maggie is encouraged to approach Mark again by Andy. She sits next to him off-set and feigns reading an edition of *The* *Financial Times*, claiming to "play the markets". Mark is reading *The Age of Shakespeare* by Frank Kermode, which he is studying for his PhD. He invites her to grab a coffee with him. They joke about Maggie's hard luck in the acting industry and her many unglamorous background roles. Mark invites her to grab a meal with him that night.

The pair go to the restaurant Etcetera where they enjoy a flirtatious evening. They return to Maggie's apartment and relax on the couch before engaging in sex. During sex, Mark abruptly says that Maggie is "like a dead horse" and tells her to "put a bit of minge around it". Nevertheless, they continue. Between the morning after and the events of the following episode, Maggie and Mark break up and Maggie begins dating a set assistant named Mike.

## Trivia

* In the episode, Mark's birth year is revealed to be either 1970 or 1971 due to him stating his age of 34. The actor who plays Mark, Raymond Coulthard, was in fact born on 3 September 1968, making him in fact around 36 at the time (between January and June 2005).
Sophia Myles

**Sophia Jane Myles** is an English actress. In *Extras*, she appears in a cameo in the second season episode 'Orlando Bloom', portraying herself acting in a courtroom drama alongside Orlando Bloom.

Myles is best known in film for portraying Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward in *Thunderbirds* (2004), Isolde in *Tristan & Isolde* (2006), Darcy in *Transformers: Age of Extinction* (2014), Erika in *Underworld* (2003) and *Underworld: Evolution* (2006) and Freya in *Outlander* (2008).
John Kirk

John Kirk as Mike

**John Kirk** is an English actor. In *Extras*, he portrays Mike in the first season episode 'Kate Winslet'.

Outside of *Extras*, he has appeared in the television series *Coronation Street*, *Twisted Tales*, *Silent Witness*, *The Hello Girls*, *Holby City*, *Heartbeat*, *EastEnders*, and *Doctors*.
Keith Chegwin

**Keith Chegwin** was an English television presenter and actor. In *Extras*, he appeared as a fictionalised version of himself in the second season episode 'Orlando Bloom', starring in Andy Millman's sitcom *When the Whistle Blows*.

Chegwin is best known for appearing in several children's entertainment shows in the 1970s and 1980s, including *Multi-Coloured Swap Shop* and *Cheggers Plays Pop*.

His early career saw him performing in such West End stage shows as *Tom Brown's School Days* and *Captain Pugwash*. He also had a career as a singer, releasing singles on the Pye Records label and worked as a disc jockey for 194 Radio City in Liverpool. He spent four years at BBC Radio 1 on Tony Blackburn's weekend morning show. In 2000, he presented the Channel 5 nudist game-show *Naked Jungle*, appearing naked except for a hat and later describing it as "the worst career move" in his life.

Chegwin was known for his off-the-cuff ad-lib style of broadcasting and stated that no one had ever written a word for him. In 2012, he was scheduled to take part in the sixth series of *Dancing on Ice*, but he was forced to withdraw after breaking three ribs and fracturing his shoulder on the first day of training. In 2015, he was a housemate on *Celebrity Big Brother* Series 15 where he finished in fourth place.

He died on 11 December 2017 of the lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

## Personality

In *Extras*, Keith Chegwin is called upon as a late inclusion to the cast of *When the Whistle Blows*. He is originally set to be playing a character named Alfie, however when Keith struggles to play the character because of the name it is changed to 'Keith'.

Chegwin appears to be an amateur actor, delivering his lines with the incorrect emotion, failing to stand on his mark, and making eye contact with the camera, which causes Andy immense frustration. This goes against his acting style in real life, having a proficient ability to improvise and perform well. His apparent inability to play a serious character in Andy's sitcom may be a reference to the regularly cheerful personas that he portrayed in children's television.

Later when Keith and Andy are talking off-set, he reveals a bigoted side to his personality. He complains that the BBC is still run by "queers and Jews", revealing both homophobic and anti-semitic sentiments. He further complains that he can't call homosexuals "queers" because it implies that "they're not normal". Later, Keith makes the statement that "the blacks aren't funny", to which Andy replies with a list of several examples of famous African-American comedians. He then changes his terms to "British", which leaves Andy stumped.
Bunny

**Ian 'Bunny' Bunton** is a supporting character in the television series *Extras*. He is a recurring character throughout the series, first appearing in the first season episode 'Les Dennis' and briefly appearing in the second season episode 'Sir Ian McKellen' and the Christmas Special. He is portrayed by Scottish actor Gerard Kelly.

Bunny is an established theatrical director, choreographer and dancer. He is directing a pantomime enactment of *Aladdin* starring former television presenter Les Dennis as the title character alongside Andy as the Genie. Bunny, despite being a married man with a daughter, is extremely camp and a closeted homosexual. His daughter, Lizzie – a dancer who is also featuring in the production – is an old friend of Maggie's, and Lizzie invites her to her birthday party. At her party, Lizzie and Bunny perform a song-and-dance routine that Bunny believes is sub-standard on his daughter's part. He expresses his disappointment in her, to which Lizzie – having been inspired by Maggie to do so – talks back to her father. Bunny, outraged at Maggie corrupting his daughter, kicks her out of the house, claiming that she "fucked up [his] daughter's life."

Bunny attends the premiere of Ian McKellen's production *A Month of Summers*, which Andy is starring in. He reveals in a conversation to Andy that he has separated from his wife and is living a more liberal lifestyle as an open homosexual.

In the Christmas Special, Andy sees Bunny at a park in Hampstead Heath, whilst Bunny is cruising for sex. They encounter George Michael, whom Bunny claims to have had a sexual encounter with in the past.
Ross Kemp

**Ross James Kemp** is an English actor, author, and television presenter. In *Extras* he appeared as a fictionalised version of himself in the episode 'Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones'.

He rose to prominence in the role of hard-man Grant Mitchell in the BBC soap opera *EastEnders*. Making his debut in February 1990, his character quickly became part of the soap’s key storylines during the 1990s, particularly troubled marriages to Sharon Watts and then Tiffany Mitchell, as well as the "Sharongate" storyline, which saw brother Phil Mitchell having an affair with Grant's wife, which was uncovered two years after it began.

Kemp announced in April 1999 that he would be leaving the soap later that year after nearly 10 years. His exit was aired in October 1999 when his character moved to Brazil after surviving a car crash. Kemp refused to rule out an eventual return to *EastEnders*, and various media reports over the next few years speculated that he would return to the series at some stage. In early 2005, the BBC confirmed that Kemp would be returning to *EastEnders* in the autumn of that year after six years away. It was co-star Barbara Windsor who convinced him to return, even though his comeback would only be a relatively brief one. His first comeback lasted just a few weeks from October 2005, but he returned again in March 2006, before departing once again in June that year.

In January 2016, it was confirmed that Kemp would make a brief return to the show for the death of Grant's on-screen mother, Peggy Mitchell, appearing in three episodes during May of that year. He later filmed a further three weeks and returned again for brief stints from 4 July to 9 September 2016.

Outside of *EastEnders*, Kemp has received international recognition as a reporter for presenting the BAFTA Award-winning documentary television series *Ross Kemp on Gangs* (2004—2009).

## Personality

In *Extras*, Ross Kemp has a bravado and does all he can to maintain his hard-man reputation that he earned while playing Grant Mitchell on *EastEnders*. He falsely asserts that he is a retired serviceman in the SAS (Special Air Service), which he believes stands for Super Army Soldiers. Additionally, he claims to have head-butted a horse, be able to hold his breath underwater for three-and-a-half minutes.

He declares that he could beat Vinnie Jones in a fight, word of which is spread to Jones through Andy Millman. However, truly Kemp is cowardly and weak, revealing his facade when he caves after Vinnie Jones shows up to fight him. He later admits to Andy Millman that he is in fact powerless and is bullied at every workplace he goes to. He reveals he has received an offer from *Family Affairs*, which he is tempted by due to its perceived friendly behind-the-scenes nature.

Ross Kemp, despite a similar public image in real life as a hard-man, is in fact quite reserved and has no record of violence or otherwise unruly behaviour. His first marriage to Rebekah Wade ended in divorce due to physical assault, with Kemp in fact being on the receiving end of this abuse.

He then tasks the player to find the calming fruit but never actually get to use it because the princess' face was stolen. Then, he is encountered in Neksdor with a Royal Roast.

Mike

**Mike** is a minor character in the television series *Extras*. He appears as a supporting character in the first season episode 'Kate Winslet'. He is portrayed by English actor John Kirk.

Mike is a set assistant working on a historical drama film starring Kate Winslet, and is in a relationship with extra Maggie Jacobs. The two presumably recently met on set of the film. Mike often talks dirty with Maggie over the phone, but she is stumped and can not reciprocate as she doesn't know how to do so.

Andy questions Mike as to where he acquired the props and sets for the Holocaust film, including Nazi banners, and the two joke together. Mike invites Andy to have lunch with him and Maggie, but Andy has a meeting with Darren to go to. After Mike leaves, Andy reveals that he approves of Mike as a boyfriend for Maggie. Maggie responds by expressing her concern for his dirty talk and his lack of ability to talk dirty back.

Later, Mike lets Maggie know that he's fine to stop dirty talking if it makes her uncomfortable or embarrassed. They share an embrace and a kiss. Andy and Kate Winslet soon arrive and joke about dirty talk whilst Mike is not looking, making lewd gestures and suggestive double entendres. Mike finally catches Kate making a gesture and deduces that Maggie told others about their private matters. He is enraged and lashes out at Maggie, saying that he can't trust her anymore, and at Kate for meddling with the lives of the "little people". He leaves in fury and it is presumed that Maggie's attempts to reconcile him and their relationship fail.
Samuel (Miitopia)

## Basics

Samuel is a Korean Kitty role-playing Mii.

## Role

He is the Great Sage. He helps the player throughout the first 4 chapters of the main story. He also joins the player's team! He then becomes the Darker Lord and summons monsters in the Sky Scraper using the major NPCs' faces instead of the player's teammates.
Jon

**Jon** is a minor character in the television series *Extras*. He appears in the first season episode 'Ben Stiller'. He is portrayed by English actor Steve Jackson.

Jon is the production manager for Ben Stiller's war drama film based on the life of Goran. He meets with Maggie when she inquires about supplementary payment for her performance as an extra on the film. They meet again in the cafeteria, where Maggie introduces him to Andy and Jon shares that he is attending Jackie Greer's birthday party that night, which Maggie will be at too.

Jon and Maggie see each other at the party and flirt with one another, and Jon eventually asks Maggie to go with him somewhere else. Andy points out to Maggie that Jon has one leg shorter than the other and wears a taller shoe on one foot. Maggie, who hadn't realised this before, is now sceptical about going out with him. When Jon comes to take her, she backs out of their arrangement and Jon deduces that it is because of his leg. They acrimoniously part ways, with Jon sharing his ordeal with Martin – the producer that Andy was trying to woo – and his friends.

## Trivia

* He is on a high-fibre diet, eating a three-bean salad, spinach and smoothie for lunch.
Barry

**Shaun Williamson**, known throughout the series as **Barry off *EastEnders*** or simply **Barry**, is a supporting character in the television series *Extras*. In the first season he is a recurring character, whilst in the second season and Christmas special he has a main role. He is a fictionalised version of English actor Shaun Williamson, who portrays the character.

Shaun is one of Darren Lamb's clients. He used to play Barry Evans on the British soap opera *EastEnders*, but was persuaded to leave by co-star Ross Kemp. Afterwards, Shaun pursued a multi-million pound contract at ITV which fell through due to Darren's poor negotiating skills. Following the roadblock to his career, Shaun fell into a depression and "couldn't get out of bed for two weeks".

Darren doesn't use his real name, but instead calls him "Barry off EastEnders" or just "Barry" and occasionally "Barr" or "B". This also extends to other characters as seen in the episode 'Ross Kemp and Vinnie Jones', where Kemp only seems to know Shaun after being told his *EastEnders* character name.

Barry carries an air of accepted defeat, and helps Lamb around his office, appearing to be marginally the more competent of the two. They later team up with another ex-*EastEnder*, Dean Gaffney, at the Carphone Warehouse. Dean and Andy Millman are the only ones who ever call him "Shaun".

BFTS 2 (Co Host)

BFTS 3

CCU

BFTS 4

TV is a contestant in BFTS 4 who is currently competing on P.O.O.P. They have been in every season except season 2, as they co-hosted that season instead of competing.

### History in BFTS (Season 1)

TV was on The MDI in phase 1. Despite this team losing a lot, he did not get a single vote against him. He became one of the most popular contestants, and the most active on the MEE6 leaderboard for a long time. In phase 2, he was on [Insert Original Name Here], where he also did not get any votes. On AAAAAAA, he was also not voted, and he made merge. TV did good in merge, and ended up not being voted until his elimination. He wouldn't have even been eliminated if it wasn't for a token play, so he played an amazing game here.

### History in BFTS (Season 2)

TV was the co-host of BFTS 2. He was active as one, and judged the results. Sometimes he missed results, but it was funny anyway so that was fine. When the show split, he stayed as the BFTS co-host.

### History in BFTS (Season 3)

TV was on The Darth Soders, an infamous team. They lost a lot, but TV was one of their last 4 members. He joined Something Bold when the team dissolved, but it was after the last challenge so he didn't get to do anything there. He was on #how-this-camp-works in phase 2, another team that lost a lot. However, him doing less this phase combined with an alliance on this team got him eliminated during this phase.

### Trivia

- TV is one of two former cohosts on P.O.O.P., the other being Cake

- TV is the first BFTS contestant to become a cohost in a later season, as JoseyPosey7 (Season 2/3 Pen), was one before he competed
