He's cartoon-animal round and ingratiatingly impish. Yet Gervais, in films and on TV, keeps harping on his diminutive stature and lack of a heroic jawline. He might almost be begging for the viewer to reply, "No, you're not at all tremendously unattractive. The word for you, Ricky, would be cute...
