Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

both guys are stating to get more media attention over here in the US , just wondering which actor Accy-web users prefer .
My own choice is Simon Pegg , had never heard of him until I picked up a DVD in the rental store ( the one where he plays a cop) seen two others since , all watchable . Hope he stays working in the UK and doesn't get taken in by the Hollywood hype . The Ricky Gervais type humour I can take or leave .

Simon Pegg. :)

Look forward to his latest offering, 'HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS & ALIENATE PEOPLE' based on columnist Toby Young's book about his own gaffs.

Not a big fan of Gervais, can take him or leave him

Definately Pegg for me, thought `Hot Fuzz` was a belter..........:D

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

Ricky Gervais, as I found The Office and Extras hilarious.

Looking forward to Little Britain in the U.S., which we're getting tonight, just five days after it was aired in the States.

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

(thread wander) Little Britain is shown here on one of the pay/premium channels, not part of my standard 150+ channels, the reviews have been mixed , Americans seem to have an aversion/distate to seeing the 'dangly' bits of human anatomy on their TV screens

Pegg

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

I prefer Ricky Gervais. Didn't see Extras but I loved The Office and his stand up routines have me in stitches.
Pegg bores me and the films he makes are all the same.

Gotta be Simon Pegg for me, thought he was great in Shaun Of The Dead

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

Simon Pegg for me. I simply don't "get" Gervais anyway but Pegg has been outstanding since "Spaced".

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

Could i say neither

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

Don't much care for either really, but if I had to go for one it would be Ricky Gervais

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

Ricky for me all the way. However atm im likeing Frankie Boyle! What a funny guy :D

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

He's already been in a couple of big Hollywood films as well - he was in Mission Impossible 3 as a scientist and he was in another one which I can't quite think of right now.

Re: Simon Pegg or Ricky Gervais
 

just watched it tonight on DVD and have to say a bit disappointed , typical Hollywood sanitized bland crap , his usual humour is dumbed down to try to appeal a US market of 300+ million , instead of his smaller British market to whom his humour appeals .
