Life In The Office

First off, I need to express how wonderful David Denman is!! Despite computer glitches (he tried to send his answers to my questions three times before they got through), international flights, and an insane shooting schedule, he got back to all of my questions and was super-polite and friendly about everything.

LITO: Congratulations on completing a triathlon AND raising over $5,000 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS foundation. Any plans for future triathlons/fundraisers?

David Denman: Thank you so much for all the support. I had so much fun training for the first Triathlon I’ll definitely be doing it again. I’ll be doing the Nautica Malibu Triathlon on Sept. 16th. This time I’ll be raising money for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Hopefully I can raise another $5000.00 for this great cause. People can donate here

LITO: Do Pam and Roy belong together?

David Denman: I don’t know if “belong” together is the appropriate word. I don’t think the show is set up for them to belong together, but I would like to see them end up together. I know you all want Romeo and Juliet to get together, but trust me that will just get boring. Roy is the guy you love to hate and hate to love. What could be more entertaining then that?

Writer Gene Stupnitsky graciously allowed me to interview him recently for Life In The Office. This is the first (of hopefully many) in a series of CAST & CREW interviews. The offer Brian made still stands to any members of the cast and crew who would like to grant LITO an interview.

You may recognize Gene as the head writer of episodes, “The Fight,” “The Secret,” “Michael’s Birthday,” “The Convention,” “Traveling Salesmen,” and “The Return,” or as the writing partner of Lee Eisenberg, but did you know that he has appeared on the show as a Vance refrigeration employee?

Gene, center, cracks Jenna Fischer up on the set of Season 2, Episode 16, “Valentine’s Day.”

Here’s the start of our interview:

1. Which Office character do you most closely identify with, and why?

Benjamin Franklin. Not sure why…

2. Are there any plans for you and Lee Eisenberg to reprise your roles as Vance Refrigeration delivery men?

Despite the huge outpouring of support, sadly there are no plans to bring us back. I have a feeling Greg thinks we’re more valuable in the writers’ room than when we’re giving acting clinics on screen. However, there’s a chance that we’ll end up in a deleted scene sooner or later.
