James Spader: Coming to The Office!

by at .

The Office has found its man. Sort of.

Having killed on the season seven finale as cocky branch manager candidate Robert California, Emmy winner James Spader has been announced as a new regular on that NBC sitcom.

However, producer Paul Lieberstein says Spader will not have the job once held by Steve Carell's Michael Scott. Instead, he'll sky-rocket up to CEO of Dunder Mifflin's parent company.

Describing California as a "high-class weirdo Jedi warrior," Lieberstein said in a statement that "he’ll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted."

As a result, the task of replacing Scott in the office itself will fall to Dwight, Jim or Andy.

    Without the irreplaceable lead superstar Steve Carell, there was a small doubt that the new Season 8 would somehow not deliver; should not deliver, why should it deliver!!…….and could not deliver. However, such is the strength of the cast now, I really liked the first episode and it made me do what I like to do with The Office – hideously laugh. People laugh because these actors connect and connect well. I recommend this connection to comedy yet again. Best Wishes, DINESH R MAKWANA (DREAMWORDS AND INORBITS)
