LITO Interviews Craig Robinson

Thank you to Craig Robinson, who plays Darryl on “The Office,” for granting LITO an interview. For those of you who haven’t seen Knocked Up, Craig has a hilarious cameo in the movie.

Life in the Office: We here at Life in the Office love episodes with lots of Darryl time. Any hints you can give us about upcoming season?
Craig Robinson: They don’t tell me anything so until I read the script I am as in the dark as you.

LITO: Why is Darryl so patient and forgiving with Michael?
CR: Darryl is a good man and who has been through worse than Michael, so he knows Michael is harmless and is humored by him, yet he understands he must keep an eye on Michael because Michael will unknowingly cross the line.

LITO: What is your favorite “Office” moment?
CR: My favorite Office moment is when Michael and Darryl are sitting quietly in “Negotiation” for like 10 seconds. It is my favorite because when we shot it I was able to keep from laughing on the first take, if you look closely you can see me smile for a millionth of a second.

LITO: We have noticed that you have a lot of upcoming projects! Can you share any details about them with us?
CR: Knocked Up just came out and I have a cameo in that and I have seen some Office fans give me great compliments. Thank You. It means a lot. I have been told a sci-fi action movie I did, D-War, with Jason Behr of Roswell fame is coming out later this year and I will appear in Walk Hard with John C. Reilly. And of course, the Office. As far as details, I am having the time of my life and am humbled and honored to be a part of this amazing show with these amazing fans. Some have even come to see my stand up shows and I just truly appreciate your support and so does everyone on the show. Thank you.
