Morrissey rejected role in Walliams' show - Daily Star
MORRISSEY turned down a role in DAVID WALLIAMS and MATT LUCAS' new comedy show - because he's a "useless" actor.
The singing legend was in talks with the Little Britain duo to appear in the BBC's upcoming series Come Fly With Me, but he pulled out of negotiations shortly before filming began.
Walliams tells Heat magazine, "He liked the idea and there was a lot of to-ing and fro-ing. Then, when we finally thought it would happen, I got this text...
"'I'd love to do it, because it's you, and because you and the bald one are unclassifiable yet genius... but the thing is, I can't b**ody act. I'd faint, I'd vomit, I'd cover the crew in diarrhoea... I'm just useless whenever someone shouts 'action'."

Just a thought.
It's not that I think Morrissey is above low-brow humor; remember Our Frank ("...or else I'm gonna be sick all over your frankly vulgar red pull-over/now see how the two colors blend")?

He would have been wonderful in Extras, playing a parody of himself in a genuinely uproarious show. On the other hand, the useless Lucas and Walliams are just about ready for the backlash.
What exactly is their talent? Nothing. They are useless.

btw, sorry but I never heard of those 2 comedy players.
Little Brittain was that the comedy of a PM and
sorta had a laugh at the real politicans
a movie would suit him better, you can give him less text and more action, or make him someone
who comes out at the end at the movies, doing scary things to people who like meat.

I was very surprised John Waters wasn't on the phone straight after that event.

M, if you ever want to act, just give yourself to the role, you would not be you, hence, no reason to be self-conscious
If you want to be a Hollywood-type one-trick pony kind of actor, yeah, I'd be nervous, too. But even if you are asked to act as 'you' just make up a character in the place of that expectation and Play off of that.
Might I suggest Uta Hagen's "Respect for Acting" for some good tips...
