Chris O'Dowd

Can anyone think of any actors like Chris O'Dowd? Just trying to think of someone who's in their early 30s, slightly overweight who can play a lazy and average man! Just so I can use them as an example for a meeting that's all.

Cheers :-)

O'Dowd doesn't look slightly overweight to me!

I mean like in IT Crowd where he looks a bit of a mess

What sort of meeting?

Richard Coyle, perhaps? (Though on the slim side.)

Rich Coyle is a great suggestion! Def top of the lsit so far. Just for a meeting I have about a sitcom. Just want to have actors in mind to play parts in case it's mentioned that's all.

Any more?

David Armand?

David Armand?

He's only appearing in stuff he's written now.

What about the third series of 'How Not To Live Your Life' Hey, Mr smarty pants?

Body double.

Another good suggestion :-)
