And I was literally the first actor in on the very first day of auditions.

And I auditioned for both Dwight and Michael.

What?

Yes.

And...

Mine's just exploded.

My Michael audition was terrible.

I was such a huge Ricky Gervais fan.

I just was doing a Ricky Gervais imitation.

I was like, so I'm the world's best boss.

I was just doing a lot of mannerisms.

It was just awful.

But really when it came to Dwight, I was like, you know,

I know this guy, and it was one of those cases where I was like, there's really no one else that can play this role.

I know exactly who this guy is.

I used to play Dungeons and Dragons with guys like this.

I literally played Dungeons and Dragons with a guy named Chris Cole, if you're listening, Chris.

Chris Cole had Battlestar Galactica glasses.

I'm not making this up.

He was skinny as a rail, 97 pounds, and his D&D characters would always be these giant warriors, and he would draw them with giant rippling muscles.
