"James Buckley has revealed that he auditioned for a role in Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. The Inbetweeners star - who turned 26 yesterday (August 14) - went to see the movie with his wife Clair Meek and suggested to his Twitter followers that his nerves prevented him from securing the part.   He tweeted: &amp;quot;Off to see alpha papa this afternoon with my wife for my birthday! &amp;quot;i read for a part in AlphaPapa. Embarrassingly Im such a Coogan geek i was literally star struck of the script. Was V nervous, I wasn&amp;#039;t cast.&amp;quot;  The Steve Coogan comedy has topped the UK box office this week, taking \u00C2\u00A32.175 million. Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Buckley and his Inbetweeners co-stars Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas would reprise their roles for a sequel to their 2011 movie. The Inbetweeners Movie 2 is due to open in UK cinemas in August 2014. Watch a clip from Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
