‘Cool Guy Paul’ Faust blogged today about the amazing rescue dog named Dunder.
As many of your already know, since my appearance of The Office I have very much wanted to find a way to “Pay it Forward” and take the opportunity I was given to do some good. I was so extremely lucky to be given the part of “Cool Guy Paul” of Disaster Kits Limited and felt I had to share in the good fortune.
My character is the sole owner of a company that makes and sells Emergency Preparedness Kits and supplies. These are products that people would need or use if they were every faced with a disaster. During a disaster: hurricane, fire, flood, earthquake, act of terror and any of a long list a terrible events there are many people who respond. This list includes police, fire, EMT’s, C.E.R.T. team volunteers, Red Cross, military, Coast Guard and depending on the incident many other groups. One type of responder that is not often talked about but is extremely important and desperately needed are search and rescue dogs and their handlers. These dogs have the ability to do things that in some cases humans simply cannot do and in other cases….they just do it much better and quicker (in most situations…time saved…means lives saved)
A VERY special thank you to Paul Faust, Cool Guy Paul (from the episode “Chair Model”) for making this awesome video for us! You’re wayyyy cool, even though this could’ve been done through email…lol!
Our friends over at ScrantonBranchOffice.com got four of the Five Families together to give their thoughts about the latest episode. Here’s what they had to say…
Vance’s View: I always knew that DARYL was one tough son-of-a-gun and watching his heroics last night reminded me of the time that I was on an expedition to a little garden spot known as: VIET NAM — and the Lieutenant got hit out on patrol and I had to carry him back. An ‘EMPLOYEE TRANSFER’ of another kind and if you’ve never tried carrying a 200 lbs.
Paul Faust wrote me and told me that he is making an album of the fans who are wearing The Office Toby’s Last Day shirts and then sending the album to Paul Lieberstein (Toby).
Here’s what you need to do to be a part of this special album for Paul (Toby):
Paul Faust: So Nette…you know I’m a huge Toby fan so here is the scoop. Anyone who buys the Toby farewell shirt should take a picture of themselves and send it to me. I am going to make an album of all the pictures and personally give it to him before he leaves for Costa Rica. The first 50 pictures or so will go in the album.
*Update* Some of you may have recieved your Toby shirts by now, since most of them weren’t delivered until June 16th. I recieved mine today so I just wanted to remind those of you who ordered them to send your pic to Paul Faust!
I just want to give a big shout out to Paul and I’m sure I speak for all the Office chatters when I say how great it’s been getting to know you bud! This cool guy stops in our Office Chat Box everyday and takes the time to say hello to us and give us Office scoop. No wonder they called him “Cool Guy Paul”! Please stop by his MySpace page and friend him up! You’re the best Paul! ~Your “peeps” the crazy Dunderheads
Paul Faust was kind enough to answer some questions that we had about his role as “The Cool Guy” on the recent episode ’The Chair Model’ of The Office.
1.What was it like working with the cast of The Office?
~Annie, OH
It was such an awesome experience working with the cast. They are all extremely funny and talented. They also made it very easy for me…the new guy. Everyone was supportive and helpful. The hardest part was keeping a straight face during the takes.
2. Do you know if you’ll be a big part in any future episodes?
~Kevin Lakeland, Florida.
They havent told me anything about future episodes. I would love to come back and certainly hope the write my character back in. They have definately left the door open…but we will have to wait and see.
3.Were you originally an Office fan?
~Johnfan, PA
Yes…I have liked the show since the first season. I havent seen every episode…so I am going back and wathcing the few that I missed.
4.How did you get into the business of Disasters Kit Limited and where can we get one?
~Nette
I actually started a company called 1-800-PREPARE, LLC. with my partner Gregg Hamerschlag where we sell emergency preparedness kits. Our current site (we are building a new one) is www. 1800prepare. com. I have always like the security/safety/preparedness industry. I was a security consultant for 11 years and also worked in the surveillance/counter-surveillance equipment business. I was also a volunteer firefighter for 7 years. One year with the Larchmont Fire Department and then about 6 years with the Chappaqua Fire Dept.
In fact…I have reached out to a great organization called www. searchdogfoundation. org. I want to take 5% of our profits and sponsor a new search dog. I am hoping they will name the dog DUNDER.
5. How did you end up getting the part of playing yourself?
~Nette
Through some very personal contacts I got to spend the day on the set about a year ago. On the set I met all the writers, actors, crew, etc. One of the writers decided to write the part and sort of used me as the inspiration for the character. They were auditioning actors to play the part and someone suggested they let me read for it. I jumped at the chance and got the part. So basically I did a better job at playing me then the others actors.
