Andy Millman is a character from the BBC/HBO co-production Extras. He is played by Ricky Gervais. Millman's dream to become an actor –he has left his day job at a bank in order to pursue it- is endlessly frustrated by the fact that his agent Darren Lamb (Merchant) is incompetent, circumstances seem to conspire against him, and the only work he can get is as a film extra.
