UK TV Watch: Bloom on 'Extras'

9/14/06, 11:14 am EST - Xoanon

Irascian writes: Orlando Bloom stars in the first episode of the second series of Ricky Gervaise’s comedy “Extras” (and Ian McKellen will be appearing in a later show in the series). Bloom plays “himself” as an overly narcisstic movie star, repeating the pattern of the previous series where actors have been happy to send up their perceived public personas. The show airs at 9pm on BBC 2 tonight.
