When Steve Carrell announced that he was leaving The Office, people wondered who could they possibly get to replace him that would be just as good. Well the NBC did that (and I think even more so) by hiring James Spader to join the show. Paul Lieberstein, one of the series’ executive producers and a series regular said, “He’ll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted. Within days, he took over the company. James has an energy that is completely his own, and ‘The Office’ has no tools for dealing with this guy. We’re thrilled he’s joining our cast.” And we are thrilled he is joining the show.
He is definitely the perfect choice and it will be interesting to see what he will do with the role. In fact I love him so much so I might even start watching the show now.
