This week marks the 20th anniversary of The Office, the groundbreaking NBC sitcom that redefined workplace comedy and launched the careers of several cast members. Since the show’s debut on March 24, 2005, many of its stars have gone on to successful careers in television and film, earning critical acclaim and industry recognition — but the ensemble surprisingly did not have the greatest success when it came to Emmy Awards.

Leading man Steve Carell starred as Michael Scott, the endearingly incompetent regional manager of the Scranton branch of paper company Dunder Mifflin. He received six Emmy nominations for Best Comedy Actor during his time on The Office and four Best Comedy Series nominations as part of the show’s creative team, which included creator Greg Daniels, who developed the series from the original U.K. version created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Carell then returned to the Emmys in 2020 when he...

In the film, Kinsey will play Settie Rose, an eccentric family matriarch who competes in her town’s yearly letter-writing contest.

However, a rumor starts up that Juan is going to marry Settie’s daughter Lily. The family decides to play along with the mix-up. All the while Juan overcomes his writer’s block while Settie learns to embrace her family as they are.

The Office star Brian Baumgartner is very different from his character Kevin Malone in the series. Baumgartner and the cast of the American version of the U.K. sitcom made generations of fans laugh with their antics at the paper company in Scranton. According to Baumgartner, some fans find it very difficult to separate the actor from his character.

Baumgartner revealed in an old interview that fans of the show still addressed him as Kevin on the streets. He understood the fans’ perspective since he was a great fan of the show as well.

The American version of The Office has arguably the best and deepest supporting cast of any sitcom in history. Beyond stars Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, and John Krasinski there's an entire galaxy of rich secondary players, from Eeyore-like human resources guy Paul Lieberstein to moon man Creed Bratton to gay accountant Oscar Nuñez. An alumnus of the seminal Los Angeles improv troupe the Groundlings, Nuñez scored guest spots on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Reno 911! before landing the role of the uptight accountant Oscar in 2005. Nuñez picked up a Daytime Emmy when the online spin-off The Office: The Accountants scored the first-ever Emmy for Outstanding Broadband Program. In 2007, Nuñez executive-produced and starred in Halfway Home, an improvised Comedy Central comedy about the wacky denizens of a halfway home. The A.V Club recently spoke with Nuñez about his ribald past as a game-show contestant, his infamous kiss...
