Ricky Gervais
Ricky Gervais says his character on Derek, about a caretaker at a nursing home, is different than those he's played in the past on The Office and Extras.
"They had ego and they had jealousy problems, and we were laughing at the gap between how they saw themselves and how we saw them," he says. "With Derek, there's no gap. … I've never connected emotionally with a character before like I do with Derek."
