MTV (http://www.mtv.com/) has posted up a new article today explaining how Ricky Gervais, creator of the popular show The Office, got to be in GTAIV. Take a look:
With the immense success of "Grand Theft Auto IV," it's clear that players are having a great time wreaking havoc throughout Liberty City. But if you'd like to take a break from the action, well, enjoy some dry British humor via funnyman Ricky Gervais, who makes a cameo in the game doing standup in the Liberty City Comedy Club.
The creator of "The Office" and "Extras" surprisingly needed a bit of convincing to be part of the GTA world.
"Well, they called up my agent, and like [I say for] most things, I went, 'Nahhh,' " the comic revealed recently to MTV News. "And then they said, 'Are you mad? This is the biggest thing in the world. You're crazy.' "
