''[[The Extra Man]]'' is a novel by [[Jonathan Ames]] and a movie directed by [[Shari Springer Berman]] and [[Robert Pulcini]]. It tells the story of [[Author Avatar|Louis Ives]], who left a teaching position in New Jersey under a cloud and came to New York to find himself. He gets a room in the apartment of an eccentric failed playwright named Henry Harrison, the titular "extra man", who spends his free time escorting (read: mooching off) wealthy widows at tony social events.
The book is set at the end of [[The Eighties]]; the film, released in 2010, is set in a vague contemporary [[Big Applesauce|New York]] with 1980s aspects.
