I don't feel like I'm Dwight. I feel like I'm more Jim. And so my manager at the time called and said, you know, he doesn't want to go in for, Dwight, he wants to go in for Jim. And they said, great, then he won't come in at all. And so there was about three weeks there where I thought the role was gone, the opportunity was gone.

And then they called and they said, okay, he can come in and read for Jim, which was pretty amazing. And the first audition went pretty well. And then they flew in the producers from LA to New York. And I'll never forget this day. I was sitting in line. It was a It was a bit of a bizarro alternate universe feeling sitting next to six other people who looked exactly like you.

And we were all going in for the role of Jim. And they went through the line of the six guys and I was the last person. And the casting director came up and said, you know, we're just going to take a break for lunch. And in my head I thought, oh, just one more would be great. I was so nervous. So I watched, you know, 50 to 60 people go downstairs. It was at 30 Rock.

And so they went down to the restaurant, came back up with salads and sandwiches. All these people came back. And one guy sat across from me and said, are you nervous? And I said, oh, no, you either get these things or you don't. What I'm really nervous about is them screwing up a perfect show. The Americans always have the ability to screw up these amazing British shows.

And I'm afraid this is going to be another one of them. And he said, oh, great. I'm Greg Daniels. I'm the executive producer. And I genuinely almost threw up right on his shoes.

No, he later said honesty is the best policy. It's the reason you got the role, which I think he's still just being nice. I won't dare try it again by going into auditions now saying I think this movie is going to be horrible and then see if they give me the role.

That's a really good question. I mean, I think we were so honored to be a part of that relationship because we have a weird relationship with our fans because a lot of people say, We are our fans, everything. But we literally get to say that because we were going to be canceled the first two seasons, definitely.
