Gerard Miller

Comedy actor

Our cast of comedy geniuses may be unknown to you as yet so we sent the show's producer Gerald Strother along to find out more, Gerald meets Gerard...

Give me a couple of lines about yourself. What have you done? What’s your background? Professionally speaking…

My last professional part was working on a Macbeth feature film by Justin Kurzel in which I got to act beside Micheal Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. Due for release early next year.

Tell me some comedy stuff that you like. Programmes, stand ups… what makes ya giggle?

I have a varied taste in comedy from the classics like Monty Python, Hotshots, Blazing Saddles and Airplane to more modern stuff like Still Game and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Extras, Rhys Darby, Flight of the Conchords and Shooting Stars. My favourite comedian is Bill Hicks but Robin Williams had a major part in me wanting to become an actor. Oh and Jim Carrey!

Erm, something about filming or rehearsing with us. Was ANY of the experience enjoyable? (Lunch can be included in your fond memory if that was the best bit or you can just big me up. No?)

Just that I had a really fun time making it with and great cast and crew which really makes making comedy so much easier.
