Got questions for Andy Buckley?

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 | 61 comments

I am so excited that I’ll be chatting with The Office’s Andy Buckley this weekend!

As you know, Andy plays Dunder Mifflin CFO David Wallace, and he has appeared (either in person or on the phone) in no less than nine episodes this season! And I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of him …

So I’m sure y’all have a few questions for him, right? :)

Submit your question here by 11pm PT tomorrow night, April 3rd.

Remember, non-spoilerish questions only. Thanks!

P.S. I may not be able to moderate many (if any) questions during the day on Friday. Just know that they’re in the queue! :)

   How would you describe Wallace’s perception of Michael?

   I heard on a commentary that you had decided to stop acting. What caused you to go back to it in The Office?

   Will David Wallace come to Jim’s rescue? How did he hire someone so… unfitting?

   Since you are a guest star and not a regular cast member, (though you’ve been in so many episodes this year and made them amazing), how much time do you get to spend behind-the-scenes with the other actors? Have you become good friends with anyone in the cast or crew?

   Thanks, and thanks for being so awesome!

   If you could change one thing about any of “The Office” characters story lines, (if only to see what happens) What would it be and why?

   (ie. keep Michael and Holly together, have Angela become pregnant with Dwight (or Andy’s) baby, have David Wallace become the Regional Manager of Scranton)

   What do you think is Michael’s motive for disliking Toby?

   hey andy!
   so i might be overthinking this, but your character is named after one of my favorite authors david (foster) wallace. is that just a coincidence or did the writers do this on purpose? did john krasinski have anything to do with it, since he just turned one of wallace’s books into a movie?

   Have you ever “cracked” during a take with Steve?

   Do you have any pictures of you behind the scenes during filming etc? are you willing to share them?

    Hi Andy! Thanks for answering these questions. I love your character on the show. Keep it up!

    My question for you is, How did you feel about the fact that your character had to break up Michael and Holly? Were you for or against splitting them up? Also, what is your Office schedule like? Do the producers just call you whenever you are needed in an episode? Do you have any other positions, since your character is a minor role? Thanks again!

    What is your favorite “Office” story line? Either one you’ve been involved in, and one you have not.

    What are your “must see” television shows? (other than “The Office” ?)

    49. Samantha  Fri. Apr. 3, 2009 | 4:33pm

    Andy, your character David has received many phone calls from Michael over the years. Many of which were complaints about Toby. What do you suspect is the reason Michael dislikes his HR guy Toby so much?

    What is it like working with Steve Carrell as a character who must stay very serious during his ridiculous antics? Is it hard keeping a straight face?

    Thanks for answering!

    What was your reaction to the steep incline in popularity of The Office, did it put more pressure on you as an actor to perform?

    :D

    What led you to stop acting full time, and did you hesitate to “get back into it” when you were asked to audition for David Wallace?

    Also, to #42: Todd Packer was played by Dave Koechner, not Rob Corddry.

    What’s it like being a celebrity in a non-celebrity job?

    BTW– Andy is the NICEST actor I met at Scranton. He came to me and just tapped me on the shoulder and said he’d recognized me from the mall event and wanted to say hi. Such a regular guy. Very impressed, he was so down to earth.

    Hi Mr. Buckley! I’m the daughter of Jonathan Boring, whom you’ve met many times (big bald man, you can’t forget him!) who also works with you at the finance company (I won’t say the name in case you want to keep it private).
    My question is, how is it that you can drop everything and shoot scenes for The Office while still working your job? My dad can hardly even go out to eat with us during the week! Does it ever get overwhelming?
    Thanks!

    Did you greet the opportunity to play excited, as opposed to professionally morose, in Golden Ticket with excitement or trepidation? Your childlike laughing at Dwight’s “That’s what she said” is one of the highlights of Season Five. In addition, was your delivery of “I am going back to New York…” and abrupt standing up your pure acting or were you directed?

    From my limited corporate experience, the duties that you have for Dunder Mifflin are far broader than what a CFO would normally tackle, and I find it odd that the show has never introduced the CEO of the company. Have the writers ever discussed that point with you? Is the CEO position a kind of comical “trump card” that they have resisted the urge to play so far?
