Biography
Ricky Jervey - British comedian, built a career on television in the role of the actor, producer, screenwriter and director.

Ricky was born in the city of Reading in Berkshire County on June 25, 1961. The early biography of the future director took place in the suburb of Wheatley. Jervey was a youngest child in the family - brothers Robert and Larry brothers were brought up with him, as well as sister march.
The family lived poorly. But in the memoirs comic calls childhood happy. For example, parents have always arranged amazing holidays, even climbing debts.
The boy went to the most ordinary school. In an interview, the actor who had already taken place said that he was "cursed to early success." The student was heard in the smartest in the class and handed over the exams with a machine gun. Subsequently, he expressed regret on this matter, since he had no habit of trying - everything was too easy.
After school, the teenager took a break in education, this year the native of the Round spent in the role of the gardener. Having earned money, began to study natural sciences at the University College of London (UCL). But soon changed his mind and turned to the Faculty of Philosophy.
Even during the student, Ricky became interested in music. After graduating from college, he continued his career in the Sinti pop group of Seona Dancing, which was founded with a classmate. Vocalist was often compared with David Bowie, his idol. SEONA DANCING managed to release 2 singles - Bitter Heart and more to Lose. However, these songs have not brought these songs the popularity of novice musicians.
In 1998, the UCL graduate for the first time declared himself on television - in the show "11 hours", which, in fact, was a starting pad for actors. In the air, the guy has overgrown with the glory of a sharp critic, who knows the talented disputes. Therefore, the producers of the TV channel gave him a chance to show himself in solo transmission. At the same time the TV presenter met Stephen Merchanth, with whom the joint projects later led.
Films and creativity
Debut as an author's idea brought an incredible success. In 2001, the TV series "Office" was released on television, in which the comedian fulfilled the main role - the head of David Brent. By the way, this film was subsequently in various polls recognized the greatest comedy character.
It is curious that initially "office" was not interested in the audience. However, after some time, not only gained fame, but also received several remakes and adaptations in the USA, Germany, Israel, Chile, France. The executor of the leading role was awarded a number of prestigious awards, including the Golden Globe in 2004. Also, 4 BAFTA Awards appeared in the script achievement piggy bank.
In 2005, together with Stephen Merchant, he released another Sitkom - "Massalka". This project was played by actor Andy Millman, who seeks fame and popularity. The rank of cinema in the series is demonstrated with satire. And Hollywood stars - Ben Stiller, Kate Winslet, Samuel L. Jackson, Orlando Bloom, Daniel Radcliffe - with pleasure played hypertrophied versions of themselves.
An interesting fact - in 2007, Riki was awarded the AMMI award for the role of Millman. However, Steve Karel, previously seen in the amplua of David Brenta in the American adaptation of David Brent, rose behind the statuette.
In the series "Life so short", whose producers also made Stephen Merchant and Warwick Davis, Jervey played himself. In the project, reminded critics "Massing", there were also many invited stars of the first magnitude: Johnny Depp, Liam Nison, Sting.
The British comedian filmography filmography includes not so much work. Among them, "Night in the Museum", "Derek", "City of Ghosts", "Invention of Lie", "David Brent: Life on the road."

Although his characters - a dentist who sees the dead, an employee of the nursing home, unsuccessful rock star - turned out on the screen amazingly alive.
In the list of works by Ricky in the role of the director, the producer and the screenwriter, films "Reverse side of the truth", "Cemetery Union", "Life after death" deserve attention. The latter, by the way, turned out to be very biographical - the protagonist journalist Tony, being on the verge of suicidal despair, decides to start talking and write everything that thinks without worrying about the consequences.
And it is very similar to Jerwiece. In this path, Standap-Artist forced the viewers to laugh at those things to which they had never thought to treat humor. The career of the comedian, he took up in the 90s, having time to travel with a tour of the UK cities in the United States. His jokes on forbidden those were successful - this was evidenced by the fact that the star was repeatedly invited to lead the Golden Globe awards ceremony (the second in the prestigiousness of the premium after the Oscar).
However, even at such an event, Ricky did not change himself - his introductory words in which he was derogiously expressed in relation to stars and projects, became the causes of scandals.
