We’re sitting down with Tim Oliver, the world’s most renowned David Brent lookalike, whose uncanny resemblance to Ricky Gervais’ iconic character from The Office has made him a fan favourite on social media, at stag dos, and even on screen. We dive into Tim’s journey - from first realising his striking similarity to Brent, to turning that into a unique career. Tim shares the challenges of playing such a cringingly beloved character, what his wife and children think of his unconventional job, and the WORST gig he’s ever been booked for (which involves a deceased person…) Tim tells us about the time he met Ricky himself, and what Ricky thinks of having a copycat! Plus what it was like to be Ricky’s body double for the Muppets movie, and the huge mistake he made on a Hollywood set. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of The Office and want to learn some Brent-isms, or just fascinated by the world of professional impersonators, give this ep a go! Learn more about your ad choices.
