00:00 You both work so closely on The Office together.
00:02 So what was it like reuniting with John and also having him be your director this time?
00:06 Well, he directed some episodes of The Office, so I was familiar with him as a director and he's a great director.
00:11 He's very thorough, he's very...
00:13 He's smart and he knows how to work with actors because he is one.
00:16 And it was just a joy from beginning to end and I jumped at the chance to work with him again.
00:21 Just partly just to be with him, you know.
00:23 He's a good friend and I hadn't seen him in a while, so it was nice to catch up.
00:28 Well, speaking of, I know that Greg Daniels is creating a reboot.
00:31 Would Michael Scott ever show up in this new world and will you be watching?
00:35 I will be watching, but I will not be showing up.
00:37 Okay, okay. So that's totally off the cards.
00:40 That is off the cards. I think they... Yeah, it's just a new thing.
00:43 And there's really no reason for my character to show up in something like that.
00:47 But I'm excited about it. It sounds like a great conceit.
00:51 I love the idea. I guess it's set in a failing newspaper company.
00:55 And I worked with Donald Gleeson, who is one of the leads.
00:59 And I did The Patient with him and he's an excellent actor and a super nice guy.
01:04 So I think it'll be great.
01:06 In good hands. It is, for sure.
