Ricky Gervais has confirmed that The Office's David Brent will be heading to the big screen with his own movie, Life on the Road.
So as we anticipate what Brent has been up to since the end of the BBC hit comedy, here's what the cast have done since:
Ricky Gervais
Ricky Gervais played the lead role as David Brent - the embarrassing, toe-curling and cringeworthy boss of company Wernham Hogg, devoid of self-awareness but poised with an unwavering love for the paper merchants he manages.
Gervais went on to create comedy Extras with Stephen Merchant, which was co-produced by the BBC and HBO and aired between 2005 and 2007. Gervais played ambitious actor Andy Millman, afflicted with a useless agent played by Merchant. Guest stars have included Patrick Stewart, Samuel L Jackson, Ben Stiller and Kate Winslet.
In 2009, Gervais starred in, wrote and directed his feature comedy debut The Invention of Lying.

British funnyman Ricky Gervais has put his vocal abilities to the test - by singing the theme song to new sitcom Toyboize.
The 46-year-old has loaned his vocal talents to the online comedy show, about a washed-up band desperate to make a comeback, written by and starring Gervais' former The Office co-stars Jamie Deeks and Ewen Mcintosh.
And Gervais - who does not appear in the show - insists his short stint in 1980s pop group Seona Dancing makes him the perfect candidate to record the track.
He says, "I thought the idea of the show was really funny and as a failed popstar myself, I jumped at the chance of writing a bad song."...
