Ricky Gervais | The Office

Throughout his career, Ricky Gervais has worked in a variety of fields in the entertainment industry, including but not limited to music and podcasts. What he is most known for, however, is his career in films and, most especially, TV shows.

Among the many works he now has under his credit, it’s safe to say it was his work in the original version of the mockumentary sitcom The Office that garnered him widespread fame and recognition. Since then, the comedian has ventured to other projects such as Ghost Town, Muppets Most Wanted, and the Night at the Museum trilogy. His most recent outing is the comedy series After Life, where, besides acting, he also directs, writes, and executive produces. Thanks to all his work, not only does he have the respect of his colleagues and fans, but he has also received more than a couple of rewards along the way, including two Emmys, a Golden Globe, and seven BAFTAs.
