Steve Carrell Leaving The Office

Re: Steve Carrell Leaving The Office

The answer to who should replace Steve Carell is Andy Buckley. He played David Wallace.

I think he could be quite good in that role. And there'd actually be an established story with him. The once fallen CFO returns to run a branch.

Great idea, although they'd have to establish his state of mind immediately. He went from a solid, pragmatic CEO to an inventor of SUCK-IT. He clearly suffered from corporate burn out, and looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

All due respect to advocates of Jon Lovitz, I hope no one important is listening to you.

Michael Kenneth Williams, the actor who played Omar on "The Wire" has a big part in that one also, and it's directed by Terence Winter (Sopranos writer) and Martin Scorcese. Looks awesome, and I think it'll be one of those HBO shows that we'll be talking about for a while based on the setting and cast involved: http://hbo.com/boardwalkempire

Wow, an awesome foundation of great people to start a project. I've always associated Winter with the famous "Pine Barrens" Sopranos episode (which he wrote with the help of "Salami", of the White Shadow) because of his name.

Don't know how many hats Winter will wear in shaping the series, but it appears he's the writer and Scorcese is the director, which is fine by me.

Wonder if the great Buscemi can pull of a leading role?
