Stephen resides in London and he first shot to fame on The Office, which was filmed in Greater London at Teddington Studios.
He co-created the acclaimed sitcom alongside funny man and longtime friend Ricky Gervais, 58.
Stephen attributed the success of the show due to their ‘arrogance’ and unique chemistry while speaking openly about the conception of the BBC comedy.
Talking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, he recalled: ‘There was an arrogance about us. For me I think it was just, I didn’t know better, I had the arrogance of youth.

‘I think with Ricky he had quite happily got into a groove in life. He felt he didn’t have anything to lose.’
The writer, director and comedian, remembered being ‘dynamic and proactive’, and admitted the older and more experienced Ricky was ‘willing to walk out of a room if he didn’t get his way’.
Stephen continued: ‘I would go after him, “What are you doing?”, and he would go, “It’s all a plan, don’t worry”‘.
Reflecting on their 13-year age gap friendship, he added: ‘I think maybe because he was in his 30s, they trusted him a bit more. He seemed like an adult.’
The comedic pair first met in 1997 when they worked together at a London radio station.
After quitting his job, Stephen later got in touch with Ricky when he had the opportunity to create a film, which lead to the creation of The Office.
The mockumentary sitcom, which starred Ricky as David Brent, depicts the everyday lives of a group of office workers at a paper company, and first aired on BBC Two in 2001.
Stephen also made an appearance in front of the camera as the character Nathan Oggy, also known as The Oggmonster.
Speaking of the show’s success, he said: ‘It didn’t seem to us like any great revolution it was just, in retrospect, there wasn’t anything else like it at the time.’
The pair followed up with another sitcom, Extras, before relishing in major Hollywood success, and partnering up again in various projects.
