Why didn't Jeremy Dyson...?


Have just watched this film for the third time, and just wondering if anyone knows/has any theories on why Jeremy Dyson didn't play himself in the film, after his cameos in the series (as the guy selling lighters and the guy who worked in Greedy Slots)? Nothing against Michael Sheen, he did a great job. Just curious is all...

It's the same reason he doesn't play proper characters in the series- he says can't act. He isn't an actor. That's about it, really.
Reece, Steve & Mark all did drama/acting/theatre studies/whatever they call it now at college/uni, but Jeremy did philosophy and screenwriting. Or summat.

He must be a really bad actor if he cant act himself

reply

Well even "acting himself" would require acting, wouldn't it?

reply

Well basicly because Jeremy isn't an actor.
