It took a while before some stars of The Office could appreciate that NBC was commissioning a spinoff of their cult hit — in part because they may have been among the last to learn about the new show. EW.com caught up with two members of the Office cast at the May 28 premiere of The Promotion (an upcoming independent film comedy in which Jenna Fischer stars alongside Seann William Scott and John C. Reilly). They recalled how they first heard of NBC’s spinoff plans from Office executive producer Greg Daniels. “It was like when Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy split off,” Fischer explained. “Those people had no idea that Kate [Walsh] was leaving to do the other show until later in the process. I don’t even know if the spinoff [of our show] is set in an office. That’s how little we were told. We just aren’t privy to that kind of information as actors.” To read the rest go here.
