Hair today, gone tomorrow

Friday, January 22nd, 2010 | 11 comments

While watching last night’s episode of The Office ‘The Banker,’ I turned to my boyfriend and said, “what is up with Michael’s hair?”

Several of you commented about this as well.

Here’s what Kim, The Office’s lead hair stylist, says:

Actually, we started shooting that episode when we came back after our winter break (Nov-Dec) and Steve had his hair cut very short for the film he had just starred in so … I was merely trying to style him the same, but was unable to get an exact match … due to the difference in length. It was close though.

Basically, this is how Mr. Scott will look until his hair grows out. :-)

You will see gradually, over the next few episodes, his hair will grow out and look more like the ol’ Michael Scott that we all know and love.

We did shoot “The Banker” out of order, so fans may notice that in the next episode that airs his hair looks normal again, then it will be shorter for one more episode. Just an FYI for those who are really paying attention to detail!

Top marks to fans who noticed! Well done.

Thank you, Kim! :)

Brian Baumgartner in ‘Into Temptation’

Sunday, August 30th, 2009 | 8 comments

One of the best parts of running OfficeTally is reporting on The Office cast’s various movie projects. It’s been a busy summer — John Krasinski in Away We Go, Ed Helms and The Hangover, and B.J. Novak in Inglourious Basterds.

Now it’s Brian Baumgartner and ‘Into Temptation.’

Into Temptation is a story about a young priest who tries to prevent a prostitute from committing suicide. Its cast includes Jeremy Sisto (“Law and Order”), Kristin Chenoweth (“Wicked,” “Pushing Daisies”), and The Office’s Brian Baumgartner.

Needless to say, this is a radical departure from playing Kevin Malone, and after watching the trailer and listening to the Minnesota Public Radio interview, I had to go directly to Brian Baumgartner himself and ask him a few questions about the movie.

Trailer

The film had its world premiere in Minneapolis on Thursday, plays in limited release around the country after that, and then comes out on DVD in October.
