But not as Michael‘s replacement like we thought!
No, in fact, according to the press release, James Spader joins the team and ends up taking over the company in a few days — if you remember (and of course you do, it was the most memorable cameo), his character has bizarre persuasion/jedi powers:
“James will reprise his role as Robert California, this uber-salesman that has a power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior,├óΓé¼┬¥ said Paul Lieberstein, one of the series├óΓé¼Γäó executive producers and a series regular. “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 ├óΓé¼╦£The Office├óΓé¼Γäó has no tools for dealing with this guy. We’re thrilled he’s joining our cast.”
Too funny!
But, alas! No word on who is taking over for Steve Carell just yet!
Tell us!! We’re tired of waiting! Ha!
