Name the Famous Person before he became Famous!

Take a quick look at the guy on the left in the picture below.  In the picture, he was one half of the obscure 1980's New Wave/Alternative British duo of Seona Dancing.

This mod-looking group did not have any notable songs heard anywhere in North America at any time...however they apparently charted a song in the Philippines back in 1984!

Needless to say...the glam-looking chap on the left is famous today...he is better known as a comedian, more recently making headlines for some controversial jokes he made only a couple of weeks ago.  Guess who?

Ricky Gervais as part of the pop band Seona Dancing in 1984.

Ok...time's up...the man on the left is none other than comedian Ricky Gervais, popular comedian, tv & movie star (U.K.-based The Office series, Extras, The Invention of Lying, etc.) and only a couple of weeks ago, the host of the Golden Globes awards presentation show, where his jokes have ignited a controversy around whether or not they were appropriate or just plain nasty!
