Which boy do you think will have the most successful acting career?


Since the second movie came out last year, which of the inbetweeners do you think will be the most successful after the show? I was thinking it would be Will (Simon Bird) but now I'm thinking Jay (James Buckley) will, as I've seen him in some recent stuff? What do you guys think? Who's gonna have work after the movies?

James Buckley will. Simon Bird and Joe Thomas aren't at all versatile and Buckley seems to be the only one trying different things.

James Buckley.

Right, because Friday Night Dinner isn't different, is it?

Blake Harrison (Neil) has already been in several things besides the Inbetweeners. He was hilarious in The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. Also, this stinky little nugget: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1344337

Simon Bird is basically a 10-year-younger version of David Mitchell, so he definitely has a promising future.

James Buckley and Joe Thomas are also fairly good actors, no reason to see why they won't go on to do bigger and greater things.

Blake Harrison has just recently made a successful appearance in the new Dad's Army film playing Private Pike.

Sadly, most of the leads of well known british comedy shows in the 2000s haven't gone on and done as well as they might have expected to. I always thought Jeff from Coupling for example would go on and have a great career but he's faded to nothing since.

The way the British tv industry is set up, it's really hard to have a long consistent career what with mini series and 6 episode series

Actors need to constantly be recast an reinvent themselves which is hard

It's not like in the US where an actor can luck out in one successful series like Modern Family or Big Bang theory and ride it out for the rest of their career with 22 episodes per season.

I promise you none of the actors playing the children in Modern family will have much of a career afterwards but this one show will set them up for life. A past example is David Faustino and Married with children, has done naff all since.

Jay and Will.
