Editing Will McKenzie (section)

==Reception==
For his portrayal as Will, Bird has won the 2008 British Comedy Award for "Best Male Newcomer" and the 2009 British Comedy Award for "Best Actor". He was also nominated for "Best Comedy Performance" at the 2008 Royal Television Society Awards, and "Best Male Performance" in a Comedy Programme at the 2009 BAFTA Awards.

While ''The Inbetweeners Movie'' received mixed reviews from American critics, Bird's performance was met with praise. Steve Rose of ''The Guardian'' gave the film three stars out of five, giving particular praise to Simon Bird's performance and arguing that the film "updates the teen summer holiday formula surprisingly entertainingly, considering it doesn't subvert its one iota and the formula was already done previously with ''Holiday on the Buses'' and ''Kevin & Perry Go Large'' among others."
