No I don’t think so, there’s nothing in his performance that reminds me of Wilman. I think it’s just a joke reference. But I also realize my comment is missing “is named Andy Wilman,” which would have made more sense.
And in looking it up, it’s nothing of the sort. The character’s name is Millman, not Wilman, and I misheard. Ah well!
Heh I just realized Gervais’ character in that Extras scene is Andy Wilman, famously the producer of Top Gear and The Grand Tour.
I'm confused, he's playing a real person?
