Some background information on Extras' supercilious background artist.
Where you've seen him
You may remember him from the
last series of C4's 11 O'Clock Show or
recognise his voice as that of Othello
the swearing baby in BBC3's Monkey Dust
(which he created with producer/writer Harry
Thompson).
But Pye's primarily a stand-up
comedian and writer, having contributed to an
impressive list of shows, including Armstrong
and Miller and They Think It's All Over. He's
also Jonathan Ross's personal gag-writer.
What he's doing now
Giving Ricky Gervais a hard time in
Extras. He plays Greg, a sneering,
sarcastic fellow background artist. He
was hired on the spot after Gervais
briefly outlined the character to him
and Pye said, "I can do that!"
Where he's going
Developing a new TV sitcom based in a
brothel, which he's co-written with Harry Thompson.
