Actor James Spader has officially joined the cast of The Office after a guest role. NBC recently announced that the actor, who appeared in the series finale last season, will take on the role of the CEO of Sabre, which is the parent company of Dunder Mifflin. In the series finale, his character was a potential replacement for Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell. In a statement, the show’s producer Paul Lieberstein said: “James will reprise his role as Robert California, an uber-salesman who has the power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior. “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.”
