Career

Bird formed the sketch comedy group "The House of Windsor" with former Footlights contemporaries Joe Thomas (who plays Simon Cooper in The Inbetweeners) and Jonny Sweet while completing a Master of Arts degree in cultural and critical studies at Birkbeck College. They appeared at the Edinburgh Festival in 2007 and 2008 with The Meeting, which was described as a site-specific comedy performance set in a true boardroom. On series 1 and 2 of The Weekly Show, a show on Channel 4 Radio (2006–07), Bird and Thomas were also regulars.

In 2005, 2006, 2007, 2007, and 2008, Bird also performed stand-up comedy and appeared in Chortle's national student comedy competitions, finishing second in his last attempt. He was a finalist in 2006 but was disqualified for deliberately breaking the rules in 2007.

Will McKenzie and Joe Thomas appeared in E4's teen comedy The Inbetweeners as Will McKenzie and Joe Thomas in 2008. He received the Best Male Newcomer Award in 2008 and the Best Actor Award in 2009. At the 2009 British Television Society Awards, he was also rated for Best Comedy Performance at the 2008 Royal Television Society Awards and Best Male Performance in a Comedy Program.

In 2010, Bird created The King Is Dead, in which a well-known celebrity is hypothetically killed off and a panel of three celebrities goes head-to-head in a series of satirical quiz rounds and challenges in the attempt to replace them. He appeared alongside Nick Mohammed and Katy Wix on the programme.

Friday Night Dinner, a single-camera comedy written by Robert Popper and produced by Big Talk Productions, is another of Bird's works.

In the Inbetweeners Movie, which was released on August 17, 2011, Bird portrayed Will McKenzie. In 2014, he reprised his role in The Inbetweeners 2: Inbetweeners 2.

Bird co-created, co-authored, and co-starred in a Channel 4 pilot "Chickens," about three men who are still in England during World War I. It was shown as part of Channel 4's Comedy Showcase season. Sky One produced a six-eps episode series in 2012; filming began in late 2012 and the series premiered in summer 2013.

Who will be the next Death in Paradise detective? After Ralf Little's departure, all of the actors have been in contention, from a stand-up comedian to a potential female DI, so who would replace him?

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 25, 2024
Following Ralf Little's (centre) surprise departure from the show, a number of actors have been rumored to appear in Death In Paradise. In Sunday night's episode, actor Neville Parker said farewell to the island of Saint Marie, causing viewers to weep. The BBC then confirmed Ralf had left the show after the finale aired, with the actor taking to Instagram to share: 'The secret's out! My time on Saint Marie has come to an end. But, what an end!' Since Ralf, 44, had been out for four years, the gossip mill has erupted about who would replace him, with names like (clockwise from top left) Simon Bird, Diane Morgan, Jodie Whittaker, and Romesh Ranganathan's names mixed in.

The rumour mill has speculated as to who will replace Ralf, 44, after it was announced that he would leave the show after four years as Saint Marie's lead detective. A number of celebrities have been tipped as next in line with Sunday's last episode, with The Inbetweeners' Simon Bird the bookies' favourite. With a 41% chance, Betfred's chances of Simon, 39, being a part of the role are at odds of 5/4. Diane Morgan, the second most likely actress to step in, is still known for her iconic character Philomena Cunk.

Will Mackenzie, the actor, who is now 34, appeared on the smash hit Channel 4 comedy 14 years ago and appeared in a one-episode cameo. However, the actor now appears drastically different when compared to his debut on the sitcom, sporting a fresh look.
