Brian Baumgartner in ‘Into Temptation’

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.

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.

Ellie Kemper: The Office’s new recruit

IGN interviewed the newest member of The Office cast, Ellie Kemper:

With a background in comedy and improv, Ellie Kemper proved to be a natural fit among the Dunder Mifflin crew when her character Erin was hired as the new receptionist in Season 5 of The Office. Clearly the producers of The Office agreed, because in Season 6, Kemper has been made a series regular.

During a recent visit to the set of The Office, I spoke to Kemper about her role and what it was like joining such an iconic series.
