Video: Meet Jesse Heiman, the Extra Who Has Been in Every Movie

Remember Ricky Gervais‘ 2005 series Extras? It was the painfully funny tale of an actor who doggedly paid his dues, always aspiring to break into Hollywood but perpetually falling short. It looks like Gervais has a counterpart in Jesse Heiman, a 33-year-old actor who has appeared in seemingly every movie and TV show.

Across The Pond: Ricky Gervais, Piers Morgan, And Other Ex-Pats

(Ria Tesia is a writer living in London, giving us her take on pop culture from across the pond.)

It has been a busy time here in the UK, as an increasing number of British and US talent cross the pond to gingerly dip their toes into foreign waters. It is always interesting to see how home-grown talent performs abroad and last week was no exception as Stateside Brits hogged the headlines with varying degrees of success. More »
