Brian Baumgartner: i play a priest
Brian Baumgartner: it is a drama
Pinti: how do feel playing a character that is different from your usual Kevin?

Brian Baumgartner: i loved the script and so did Jeremy … fell in love with it immediately and both really wanted to do it
Brian Baumgartner: it was very fun playing a character so different, and in a movie that was so different

tanster: it’s been really awesome following office cast members’ film projects
mignacio: Brian, how does it feel to be immersed with such a talented and active cast, particularly with so many of them recently landing roles in various films?
Brian Baumgartner: yeah, it is fun SEEING everyone’s work in other things, for all of us too
Brian Baumgartner: we have the best cast, the most talented cast top to bottom in television
Brian Baumgartner: so it is no surprise
sar20: i agree
bb2904: brian, does the cast hang out outside of work or on the off season?
Brian Baumgartner: the scheduling at times is difficult, but other than that, it is all positive
kreidy: Very true!
Brian Baumgartner: and exposure in other projects ultimately only helps The Office
Brian Baumgartner: many of us spend an unhealthy amount of time together
tanster: lol
Brian Baumgartner: away from work
Kenna: haha – that’s great
sar20: haha that’s great
I cannot believe I missed this! I saw the announcement and have been checking back every so often. I was at my computer all afternoon too!
Well, thanks for the transcript, Tanster!
This was great! Sorry that I missed it. Thanks Tanster!
Thanks for posting the transcript, that was great!
haha look at all those twss’s! looks like it was a fun time!
What a sweetheart he is! I can’t believe I missed that… Thanks for the transcript, Tanster. Very fun;)
Good good stuff. One of those guys I’d love to have a beer with.
And that ticket stub pic is kinda awesome.
Man, I saw that he was there but I don’t know how to create an account for the chat room. Every time I try to get on the chat I try to click, “create an account” or something along that lines but it never works. It won’t let me click it. I wanted to get in there so bad. Oh well.
I can’t believe the office cast comes into fan chatrooms. So cool!
Cannot believe I missed Mr. Awesome himself!
Thanks for the transcript – I love how low key Brian is and how funny.
Dangnabit, I can’t believe I missed that and I would’ve been on the dang internet at the time if my internet wasn’t messed up. Dangnabit, oh well, maybe some other time.
Daniel
brian is hilarious! and i like what he says about kevin’s love life. GO KEV!!! :^)
thanks for coming in to chat, brian! better than football
It was so cool to talk to Brian. He’s such a funny guy. The fact that he answered a number of my questions is something to be proud of. That was such a fun night in the OTCR. Thanks, Tanster and Brian!
