There were a lot of rumours and a lot of speculation. Would it be Will Ferrell? Will Arnett? Ray Romano? Jim Carrey?
Well as we still wait to find out who will be the new boss of Dunder Mifflin, NBC has issued a press release announcing that James Spader (Boston Legal) will be become a series regular on The Office, reprising his role as CEO Robert California of Dunder Mifflin’s parent company, Sabre next season.
“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,” said Paul Lieberstein, one of the series’ 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 ‘The Office’ has no tools for dealing with this guy. We’re thrilled he’s joining our cast.”
