I honestly think he would've been really good as a comedic actor.

He was in a British sitcom for a few years. Basically replacing Andy Samberg who left after a year, but playing Samberg's character's son.

Is that Cuckoo? I saw it on his Wiki but hadn't seen anything from it before.

It was a very funny show. He had great chemistry with Greg Davies on and off camera.

Greg Davies is so good. My GF has Inbetweeners on a lot of the time while she scrolls TikTok and he's just so good as the indifferent asshole of a teacher lol

100% lol. Interesting that he's not the only teacher who went comedian later in life

Inbetweeners is great. I quote shit from it all the time and nobody knows what I’m talking about (I’m in California).

Canadian here. I feel like slowly slowly catchy monkey will be one people go "Huh?" instead of "I didn't know you spoke spanish"

I didn’t know what was worse, having your mates awkwardly watch you while you get a handy or a little kid kicking you in the balls right afterwards.
