Ricky Gervais Does Stand-up in 'GTA IV'

Ricky Gervais, star and producer of the British Office and Executive Producer of the American version has a minor role in GTA IV. He does 3 or so minutes of stand-up material in a Liberty City comedy club. He also hinted that he can be seen in other areas of the game although was mum about what those roles are.

Gervais told the London magazine Shortlist: "It was shot in New York, my favourite place in the world, and I got to wear a tight Lycra suit as part of the digital process. No, hold on, that wasn't so good."

How awesome is it that games are getting the kind of stars they deserve? Now that they're starting to make bigger Hollywood type numbers, they're able to attract Hollywood type talent and that’s starting to show in the voice over quality of some games. We cannot wait to see this Gervais stand-up. We're so excited we're going to let it slide that our compadres at Eurogamer misspelled favorite. Those wacky Brits.
