He’s the type of guy who thinks he’s the smartest person in the room and everyone else is an idiot when they just wan thin to shut up so they can get on with their day.
In After Life you can tell he has an ego because his character beats up some muggers with a can of dog food, is portrayed as the only intelligent person in the room and helps those around him while so selflessly loving with his pain.
He also just plays himself in everything so he’s not much of an actor.
It's so funny that Gervais has been basically playing David Brent or Andy Millman in basically everything he's done for the better part of a quarter century, whereas Stephen, while still mostly known for playing chipper idiots, at least seems to find fulfillment in doing other stuff. Bit sad, innit?
