Andy is an actor, not a voiceless extra, an Actor. Unfortunately Andy's spent over half a decade looking for that elusive line, but a mixture of things which pretty much stop with the way middle aged Andy looks and end with the relentless ineffectiveness of his agent, have deprived him of that opportunity. Extras is the follow on from the team that brought us ‘The Office'; painfully astute and often squirmingly funny, it's still doomed to be the pale reflection of their original creation, largely because it's the same format but more difficult to relate to.
