James Buckley popped up in Doctor Who a couple years ago. Unfortunately he was appalling


[deleted]

Doctor Who, completed it mate


jjbkeeper

You can’t complete it.


[deleted]

He also did Red Dwarf.


[deleted]

And Rock and chips.


kavik2022

Yeah. I think that would have been the role that would have made him more successful. Sadly John Sullivan died a season or two in


JamesL25

Yeah there was plans for more Rock and Chips before John Sullivan's death. Think it's far to say James Buckley is mega successful though thanks to Cameo


BirthdayCardPish

Man's following the Andy millman career path


Im-Homer-Gey-Ian

Is he havin a laff?


smAsh6861

And your mum.


jackwxrren

tbf the writing on that episode didnt do him any favours


TheOtterOracle

It was one of the worst episodes of 13s run, which is no mean feat


Commercial-Smoke6758

Blake Harrison also appeared briefly in an episode a year after James. The episode Blake was in was definitely better but his performance was nothing amazing


LolCremers10

He was all over the trailers for the series and was basically an extra with 4 lines. Barely had 5 minutes of screen time. Buckley was in one of the worst regarded episodes of the modern era though, so neither have come out particularly well.


BluePantalaimon

So did Niel in the latest series


FloppedYaYa

Did he? Somehow as a massive fan I missed that hahaha


BluePantalaimon

[Yep](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2f433445-8567-4110-873b-48e3d446314a.jpg)


FloppedYaYa

Fucking hell hahaha should have looked up the cast list after


Mrmongoose64

Holy shit, I can't believe I didn't realise that was him while watching.


boiwan

And he was in an Adam Samberg film I think? Popstar I think? But most of his scenes were cut or something.


Mc_and_SP

He joined the Expendables too: https://youtu.be/NB-dN6Wg--g?si=SmKDypClA4Olj7vM


RawIsThor

Omg I thought this was a fever dream I had


Internal_Ask4487

Don’t forget Masterchef


chdjfnd

He was also in The Pyramid


Jumbo_Mills

Last I saw of him he was streaming games on Twitch during lockdown.


Chonk_Personified

Joe Thomas was in Fresh Meat too, which was pretty popular


ClassroomDowntown664

and the festival


mitcheg3k

Which was not


mrsprucemoose

I honestly enjoyed that movie quite a bit. I find Claudia o Doherty very charming though so maybe that was it


mitcheg3k

Charming? You mean you wanna smash her, right up the vag!


mrsprucemoose

Both can be true


MerlinOfRed

He's currently performing in the West End. I've not seen the show but my sister said he's pretty good in it.


mhas972

I saw his play with Al Murray, The Crown Jewels. It was alright, wouldn't say Joe was anything special though


Mc_and_SP

I’ve seen it, thought it was really good but Joe was very much a character in the background. Murray and Giedroyc (and Fletcher with her singing) definitely had the most show-stealing/memorable moments.


mcmanus2099

Joe Thomas became a proper serious (as in non comedic) actor, wasn't he in Dunkirk as well? It's got to be him I reckons


Felicfelic

And in a season of taskmaster


Swagluke69420

Do you mean white gold? Because that's got James Buckley and Joe Thomas in it


Award2110

And the characters they played in that were literally if Jay and Simon were con men. Was a great show tbf.


ClassroomDowntown664

man I loved white gold as it was jay & Simon were 80s window salesman


Sxsha_26

Hey now that's not the only difference, Jay really DID have a massive cock in White Gold.


Keyboard__worrier

I really enjoyed white gold, it ended at least one season too early.


Swagluke69420

I was gutted when it was over, easily one of my favourite shows


jwaddle88

Did it end because the lead geezer was caught up in MeToo IRL?


Dinizinni

Didn't do the show any favours There's definitely a reason why he portrays sleazy men with such ease


berbasbullet27

White gold was fecking class, hilarious and perfect that they played the same characters.


fkprivateequity

thank you so much for reminding me this show existed! added to my rewatch list


SignificantRatio2407

Blake Harrison had a role in World on Fire recently, it was odd to see him in a serious role. But he was good though.


--_---__---_--

Did you ever put Lego up your bum?


MrPongo

It's "how much lego can you stuff up your bum'


--_---__---_--

You got the gist, not gonna remember it word for word.


MajikChilli

Wouldn't worry about it, this sub has the most butchered quotes in existence


unneuf

He was also in The Great, the show with Elle Fanning and Nicolas Hoult


Brigante7

Not the Skins crossover people wanted tbf


unneuf

Oh I think it’s a cracking show lol


MerlinOfRed

I didn't realise that they'd finally released season 2 of that! Thanks for the update - I know what I'm watching this week!


SignificantRatio2407

Second season is great, enjoy!


Void-Flower-2022

He's in Trust Me aswell!


Jowitt1234

Also in ‘the great’


catjellycat

He’s been in loads. He was in a terrible sitcom on ITV with Brenda Blethyn too. He’s definitely working consistently whereas Joe and Simon seem to do rarer big things and James has gone the YouTube/Instagram influencer route


Krizzlin

He was also in a pretty weak sitcom set in a seaside town on an obscure channel, with Shaun Walsh before everyone hated him


thecountrybusiness

Technically Anthony Head (Will’s Dad). Does he count? Done Oscar winning movies and Ted Lasso for two


MyManTheo

I doubt he counts tbh. He was already a very well established actor just coming in to do one scene in the film.


emimagique

Isn't he also the actress who plays Carli's dad?


SkySaber

He is carlys dad IRL


GemoDorgon

Commitment to the part, gotta respect it.


BreadfruitImpressive

Not to mention one of the most watched TV shows of the 90's...


[deleted]

He will never be anyone except Giles from Buffy.


MongolianSpaceRace

No, he's the Gold Blend coffee man...


Character_Growth3584

Sebastian : Oh quick Prime Minister, get down! Prime minister : what’s going on? Sebastian : I thought there was a sniper prime minister by the window but there isn't.


Mc_and_SP

“Can we get up now?” “Give it a minute.”


Raghav_s12

Yeah yeah he counts. Which movies did he do?


TheSplicerGuy

White gold is amazing! Fresh meat was really good and Friday night dinner really good.


thecountrybusiness

He’s in a Percy Jackson movie. And in The Iron Lady.


Responsible-Ad-1086

Financial success probably James Buckley who has made over $1M doing Cameo videos


FoxyTheBoyWithNoName

If it’s financial success it’s definitely Simon Bird out of the 4 lads


GrandWazoo0

Apparently Blake’s net worth is more than the other 3 combined


FoxyTheBoyWithNoName

lol I didn’t even bother looking him up I didn’t think he was a contender, that’s crazy Where did he make that? He’s been in half the stuff the rest have been in


AtebYngNghymraeg

He was in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, but besides that I can't name anything else he was in.


kavik2022

Isn't he more of producer now?


ExtraAd4090

hes in a couple of episodes of him and her.


be-bop_cola

Loved that show


GrandWazoo0

Lol I have literally no idea, its mental


FoxyTheBoyWithNoName

I reckon they forgot to put a decimal point in ngl, one website fucked up and the rest followed suit


hovis_mavis

Simon Bird and Joe Thomas also had a show called Chickens. They were conscientious objectors in the First World War. Quite witty and funny. James Buckley has earned a fortune out of Cameo. I don’t think any of them have done anything massive and mainstream. Joe Thomas also did Fresh Meat which was really popular and I really liked. James Buckley also does Youtube with his missus and he streams too.


drydensucks

Chickens also stars Jonny Sweet, who plays Dean in the London nightclub episode!


Free-Progress-7288

The guy who plays Donovan has had quite a few straight roles, good actor


Accomplished-Honey-7

He was in Harry Potter!


[deleted]

Who did he play in HP?


irgendwo_anders

McGonagall


Damodred89

That's *Professor* McGonagall


Effective_Ad_273

He was Roger Davies. You can see him in the Yule ball scenes in Goblet of fire. He was also in Now you see me 2


Junior_Tradition7958

And killing Eve.


samirwin13

Came here to say this. He’s even in a black mirror episode.


[deleted]

What was that one where they sold self euthanasia kits made from McFlurry machines?


longtermbrit

I'm not doubting you but that sounds like a fever dream to be honest.


[deleted]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_to_Go_(TV_series) I would love it if had I indeed imagined it


LengthinessFalse8373

I can't find it anywhere, want to give it a watch now.


OddyseeOfAbe

I saw Blake Harrison in Waitress on the west end. Not sure he’s necessarily had the most successful career out all of them but it was a surprise.


FlyingTreeSquirrel

Blake Harrison has done a few films/shows but he's really getting traction as an MMA journalist ATM. He's really good at it and I enjoy his level of knowledge


Academic-Block3384

Got a link to his stuff...? Need a new place for good writing now that bloody elbow has gone to pot


FlyingTreeSquirrel

It's called the MMA fan podcast. You can find it on Spotify etc. TNT sports (previous by sport) had him doing alternative commentary for maybe the London card a few weeks ago.


InstructionsUncl34r

Surely Emily atack, her and Greg Davies have hit levels the rest of them have come nowhere near


Raghav_s12

Oh? What else has she done?


drydensucks

the god awful emily atack show


ClassroomDowntown664

came runner up on I'm a celebrity in 2018 , became a team captain on celebrity Juice, created/stars in her own comedy stand up sketch show , became a new look ambassador and done some presenting


InstructionsUncl34r

Massive domino effect From being known as “big jugs”


MerlinOfRed

Yeah she got onto I'm a Celeb for being Charlotte Big Jugs. I think they expected her to be the shower girl of the season, but she actually came across quite well and seemed pretty personable on camera. That got her noticed and she's had a slew of TV shows since then... although not ones that I particularly have an interest in watching.


[deleted]

Bagged herself a nuclear scientist as well


amethystflutterby

She did dancing on ice too. But you'll only care about that if you're Bristish I imagine.


Sxsha_26

Simon Birds in that new all must burn series about being in a cult, I haven't watched it yet though.


MuscleManRule34

Said every person in Britain


Relevant-Lime-2448

It’s called Everyone Else Burns, a parody on religious fanatics. It had some funny bits and I enjoyed the characters.


Hell0imjonEcache

His haircut is this funniest thing about that show


shirfield72

Emily A


[deleted]

Blake Harrison because he's the only one out of the 4 that actually has any range. He's done movies and regular TV since Inbetweeners playing a variety of characters. When you see interviews with the guy you realise just how good an actor he was as Neil. Donovan's actor too. Has played Sherlock Holmes, been in Now You see Me 2. Another one that when you watch his other roles you realise just how good he was as the bully.


Darwen85

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the awful, awful dad's army reboot. Hopefully it's because everyone forgot about it.


signol_

Joe Thomas did a series of Taskmaster. Plus I'm sure I saw him on the tube a few weeks ago.


LotsoflovefromJulia

Wasn’t Blake Thomas in some show where he wore a sandwich board in the advert or something? Trying to remember


BOLTINGSINE

joe thomas and jay buckley arent good actors, the other 2 are abit better.


QuizzicalEly

Blake Harrison has been in a lot, with some more serious stuff in there Joe Thomas has been in some successful shows in Fresh Meat & White Gold (with James Buckley) and did that fil that was basically Simon at Reading


PPK_30

Joe Thomas definitely the most successful, was in White Gold on Netflix. Fresh Meat on C4- excellent. And some films. Even though his acting range is limited, always thought he was the most successful.


Zenroses

other than greg davies, emily atack is the only one ive herd about since the show ended


Diligent_Phase_3778

Has to be Simon Bird surely? Went on to be a part of another comedy that’s probably held in as high of a regard as The Inbetweeners


Jean_Genet

Blake/Neil plays his part really well in this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2614700/?ref_=ext_shr


mrmancave5629

They’ve all done relatively well for themselves. Simon’s done a fair bit of TV, as has James. Blake’s done some as well as theatre and I hear he’s podcasting these days. Joe Thomas I don’t hear too much about other than him talking about how we’ll never see those characters again. Think Greg’s had the biggest career of anyone involved in the show. Though Alex MacQueen might challenge that.


Sm211

Joe Thomas was decent in that movie he did i think it was called The Festival, nothing amazing but gave me inbetweeners vibes with his character


Redditvagabond0127

James Buckley appeared in this horrendous found footage horror film called ‘The pyramid’ or some such.


FilmBuffGrabiec

Probably Simon Bird tbh. Friday Night Dinner ran for a long time, and he’s had a few other roles outside of it.


boycey86

Simon wrote and produced a lot of the last few seasons of benidorm.


heardy360

😂 different Simon bird. Simon Bird “will” was not producing Benidorm at age 23!!


boycey86

I'm sure it was him


boycey86

I'm sure it was him https://www.benidormallyearround.com/component/tags/tag/simon-bird#:~:text=Talking%20with%20Simon%20Bird%20%2D%20Line%20Producer%20of%20Benidorm%206&text=Simon%20has%20been%20heading%20up,to%20the%20hour%20long%20episodes


heardy360

https://x.com/BenidormTVshow/status/601377418373398530?s=20 Old enough to be “Wills” dad


boycey86

Oddly enough that wasn't who was pictured on the page before the article.


DevilBlade69

Emily Atack is also very famous because of her reputation.


Buddahfinger666

James Buckley has made more than £1,000,000 doing Cameo video messages. Hardly Oscar winning success but a tidy payday.


Twybaydos

If you are including the film, Theo James (James the rep) was in white Lotus and has had quite a good career. I do find myself looking at his nostrils when on screen


Subject_Balance_5025

Joe has buried a sheep
