News: David Brent wants to manage your laughs in GTA4.
Ricky Gervais, the star of the British version of The Office, has revealed to Shortlist magazine that he will be making a cameo appearance in Grand Theft Auto IV. Gervais will be one of the comedians that will perform at the in-game location The Comedy Club. His performanace will include "never-before-heard" material and bits from his "Fame" tour.
Gervais told the magazine: "It's a first - which always interests me," he said. "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.
"Unfortunately they captured the whole horror, except I look slightly tougher. It is seriously a big deal, though. Games have outsold Hollywood for the past few years so it's nice to be a small part of that."
He also hinted at appearances in other parts of Liberty City, but wouldn't say where.
