Oh, and he studied fencing.
So, thank you, Chris, because although that is not Dwight Schrute, the people in suburban Seattle that I hung with were absolutely cut from Schrutean cloth.
So to speak.
Okay, I have to ask, did Chris eat beets?
I don't think he probably ate beets.
I think he only ate McDonald's, so yeah.
The thing that I've since learned is how exceptionally collaborative it was as a set.
As Dunder Mifflin was not collaborative whatsoever, The Office was completely collaborative.
As long as we got the lines as scripted and got them well, we could say whatever the hell we wanted.
And if we wanted to take a scene in a different direction, we would try it.
Because that's one of the amazing things about having a documentary is that we just had two guys with cameras.
So if you want to go skip over here or start wrestling or this, they're going to capture it.
Even on Friends or a Seinfeld set, you have the camera moves and it's kind of blocked.
You can't just...
kind of start improvising or doing physical comedy on the side.
So it was wonderfully collaborative.
Greg Daniels, the showrunner, was incredibly open to ideas.
He would have two different cuts of a scene and he wouldn't know which one to do.
And so he would ask the janitorial staff and the security guard and the people doing craft services and he would bring them all into the editing room and he would show them
the two scenes and they would vote and he would pick that one.
