The Office has found its man. Sort of. Having killed on the season seven finale as cocky branch manager candidate Robert California, Emmy winner James Spader has been announced as a new regular on that NBC sitcom. However, producer Paul Lieberstein says Spader will not have the job once held by Steve Carell’s Michael Scott. Instead, he’ll sky-rocket up to CEO of Dunder Mifflin’s parent company. Describing California as a “high-class weirdo Jedi warrior,” Lieberstein said in a statement that “he’ll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted.” As a result, the task of replacing Scott in the office itself will fall to Dwight, Jim or Andy.
