This is just about the best casting news I've ever heard.
The Wire/The Office crossover continues. First Amy Ryan, and now Idris Elba is coming on board for 6 episodes.
Good lord, the hilarity that will ensue when Michael meets his newest employee! I can't wait to see this.
It's also good to see that while Bubbles and Marlo Stanfield have been slumming it on Heroes, Stringer Bell got a plum spot in The Office.
If Bunk Moreland replaced Stanley at Dunder Mifflin, would Michael even notice? Promote this thread! | | StingArmy

Idris Elba has been added to The Office cast as a corporate “no-nonsense hire” at Dunder Mifflin who is going to make things a little tougher on Michael Scott.
Looks like his new boss, not employee.
I think Jan tried to straighten Michael out *once* when she had Pam record everything that Michael did in the office on one given day. I can't remember what ever became of that list.

Didn't Pam chuck it in the trash when Michael landed an incredibly large account at the end of the day? | Mr. Boffo

| #7 Posted on 16.1.09 0600.15 Reposted on: 16.1.16 0600.20 | Well, I just got THE WIRE complete series for Christmas, and I am LOVING this news. Can't wait to see how Stringer pulls of the comedy. Of course, one could say that his latest movie roll in THE UNBORN was comedy. Since the movie had me laughing at how bad it was. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
