Danny Wallace is a disgusting overachiever who'd arouse hatred and jealousy if he wasn't such a nice guy. To give you a brief summary of his conquests to date: in his early teens he wrote computer games reviews for national magazines, by 22 he was the BBC's youngest producer, and he's had a hand in creating hit shows like Dead Ringers and The Mighty Boosh.

On top of that, Jim Carrey is playing Danny in a film based on his book Yes Man. Oh, Danny's also been a cult leader, having amassed over 8,000 followers after simply placing an ad reading "Join Me!" in a classifieds paper. (Luckily, Danny didn't make them conduct weird rites, worship comets or have sex with each other. He made them commit "random acts of kindness" instead.)

So, as we say, he's an overachiever. But a tremendously likeable one, as you'll see in School's Out.
