Stephen Merchant Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

He’s famous for his cooperation with Ricky Gervais, as the co-writer and co-director of the favorite British situation comedy “The Office”, co-writer, co-manager, and costar of “Extras”, and cohost of “The Ricky Gervais Show” in its radio, podcast, audiobook, and television show types. “The Ricky Gervais Show” in radio form won a bronze medal Sony Award.

Merchant appeared in the BBC show “Life’s Too Short”, which he co-wrote and co-directed. He also voiced the character Wheatley in the favorite 2011 video game “Portal 2”, co-developed the Sky1 traveling show “An Idiot Abroad”, and performs as a stand-up comedian. His latest character is Stuart on a show he composes and directs, called “Hello Ladies”.

Starting in September, Merchant and Gervais returned to Xfm as cohosts of The Ricky Gervais Show, another Saturday day programme, which resulted in their productive relationship with producer Karl Pilkington. They took a pause in the radio show in mid-2002 to be able to picture the next series of The Office, which aired that year; as well as composing and directing the show, Merchant formed a cameo performance in the episode “Charity” as a pal of Gareth Keenan’s character known by the name Oggy or Oggmonster. (Merchant’s dad also appears in multiple episodes as an office handyman named Gordon.) Merchant additionally directed a situation comedy pilot called The Last Chancers, which aired on Comedy Lab in November 2002 and became a five-part series program in December on E4.

#Quote
1I don't know what I'm supposed to do with a review, it's a bit late, they should have got in touch before we made it. I read reviews when The Office (2001) first happened but it doesn't matter if everyone loves it or everyone hates it, there's nothing I can do about it. If you're sitting in an edit suite trying to make the end of a film work you're not thinking: 'I wonder what the guy from The Telegraph's going to think.' You're working on instinct.
2My father was a plumber and I remember him coming home when I was 16 and telling me he hated his job and I shouldn't do it. I'm sure there are people who love being plumbers or working in offices and that's great - there's lots of jobs which might be considered mundane which people take great satisfaction from doing. We're presenting characters who have jobs they don't enjoy and that aren't fulfilling them and ask if they're going to do anything about it. It's not interesting to do a story about happy people in a happy place. Extras (2005) was about people in showbusiness who weren't happy doing that either.
3When I was a teenager I met a comedian who I admired and he was very rude to me. That's why when people come up to me I try not to be rude. I don't want to name who he is but it really put me off watching his stuff since.
4[on Cemetery Junction (2010)] It's in line with the films me and Ricky like watching - Diner (1982), Saturday Night Fever (1977), Stand by Me (1986). Films about small lives but big emotions. We're not interested in zany comedy movies or doing science fiction satires. We made the kind of film we want to see. We also love a Bruce Springsteen song called Thunder Road, which has got a line about 'it's a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win'. We wanted to capture that emotion.
5I wouldn't mind being a divine dictator and having a stab at running China. You know the concept that if everyone in China jumps up and down at the same time it'd start a tidal wave that'd destroy America? I'd phone the U.S. President and say 'We're all on the great wall of China and we're going to jump off unless you send us the girls from The O.C. (2003)'.
#Fact
1Was on UK Game show Blockbusters before he made it big. It was incorporated into a scene in The Office (UK) with a character who had been on Blockbusters.
2Has said that he does not like having jokes and comments made about his height.
3In 1997, he appeared as a contestant on the BBC Two revised version of the ITV quiz show "Blockbusters", which was hosted by Michael Aspel.
4He picked his five favorite films as The Apartment (1960), After Hours (1985), Play It Again, Sam (1972), The Squid and the Whale (2005) and Singin' in the Rain (1952).
5Currently hosts his own show on BBC 6 Music. [2007]
6Brother of art director Alexandra Merchant.
7Son of Ron Merchant.
