Life In The Office

Thanks to the contest, there are a ton of new readers and I’ve been getting a lot of great e-mail. I hope this continues!!

Kurt Luther writes in with these Tidbits:

• The Office address is:

  Dunder Mifflin Incorporated
  Paper Company
  1725 Slough Avenue
  Scranton, Pennsylvania 18505

  “Slough” is a sly reference to the name of the area in which the British “The Office” takes place.

• Dwight’s phone number: (717) 555-0177
• In Season 2, episode 6, Kevin’s email program shows Pam Beesly’s name misspelled as “Pam Beasly.”

If you have more interesting tidbits that you have picked up on, please send them in. I’ll be sure to give you credit…and you’ll make all of us look intelligent when we are watching “The Office” with our friends.

GiveMeMyRemote.com got the chance to interview Jenna Fischer (Pam) and John Krasinski (Jim) and they asked some great questions. I was especially glad to read that they asked about those casual glances that the actors give the camera. Sometimes, that glance is the best part of the scene and definitely make you feel like you’re in the office. GMMR.com asked if the glances are scripted in or not.

Jim’s Answer:

“Most of those looks are written into the script. But it is a lot of fun to play around with them. They somehow still feel as though we, the characters, organically found the moment. And when there is that opportunity to throw an impromptu look to the camera and it works, it’s exciting. I’m lucky to have a few of them in every episode.”
