> Part of the concern was that anyone attached to the Americanized version of the cult-hit U.K. version of the show would be maligned along with the new series.
It makes sense to be wary, The Office was the rare American remake of foreign media that really came into its own after the first season and worked well.
Well I’m glad it worked out the way it did and we got him in the Office. I can’t picture anyone else playing Michael Scott.
Apparently no one listened, everyone and their mother auditioned
Man you really hear nothing but bad things about this Paul Rudd guy, huh?
The BBC version is so different than the American version. Like night and day.
I still have PTSD from his character. I’m sure Carell is a kind person in real life but I can’t watch anything involving him without my blood pressure rising.
I wish I could forget The Office
Paul was also wrong about Anaconda. but look at us.
