Johnny Depp continues his fascination with British comedy with an upcoming appearance on Ricky Gervais’ new sitcom 'Life’s Too Short'.

Depp, who made a legendary appearance on 'The Fast Show' 10 years ago, will appear in the new BBC 2 show later this year.

The comedy is expected to have a host of big name cameo spots but Gervais used his This Side of The Truth blog to dismiss rumours that Jerry Seinfeld would also make a guest appearance.

'Life’s Too Short', which is being co-written by Gervais’ longtime creative partner Stephen Merchant, will air on HBO as well as BBC2. It features the continuing adventures of diminutive star Warwick Davis who plays an egomaniac dwarf who runs a talent agency for other dwarves.

Meanwhile, Gervais also confirmed that he will guest star in the hour-long final episode of 'The Office', scheduled to air on 19 May on NBC in the US.
