Yaaay, what a character...always loved him with William Shatner as those ruthless lawyers. James is an underated great actor, you can tell how good he is just with that "stare", loved it. First episode, job well done James, you got me uncomfortable, hehehe :P I didn't like this show much but will defo watch it now. Thanks for sharing, as I can show my friends. :))
hey uhhh, screw you. I personally think that the office is still enjoyable. it certainly lost some steam but lately ive been liking the recent episodes. i think it might be getting its groove back
spader owns steve. loved steve. but spader is just better. season 9 should end the office. the scranton branch should close and steve should be there for it.
no flatterizing nor fraternizing what kind of lysergy-soaked paper company do you actually combine with beets? and corporate? hmmm. this paper smells funy. pam knew this ? and i was humbly uninformed? puh pah pardon me monsieur lysergy we created IT when you werre still in a closet in your twinkledorfus' eye Plug it in Plug it Out Disco Baby odorlesscolorless
Come back Steve? Really? Nah, James is adding a bit os seriousness and he's doing great, far from "killing" the show
Now, Michael Scott was the scent of the show, for sure so maybe this should be The Office last season so the would go being a great comedy from its first to its las episode
Watched all the episodes over the holidays with that I've missed this year. I have to say I've never laughed so hard. James Spader in this role is FABULOUS!!!!!!
James Spader as Robert California is a perfect fit for The Office, I've been quoting his lines in my day to day life and having a bawl with it. This guy is a once in a lifetime character and he is just classic. And to everyone who doesn't like him, just wait and give him a chance. Sometimes I feel you don't know comedy at all...
its not that Spader is a bad choice for the job, he is definitely not the best, but the writers of the office think that just by watching a few episodes of the practice or boston legal, they can determine how to effectively write Robert California's character. This is simply just not true, the remaining writers are so inexperienced that they cannot begin to handle the acting machine that is James Spader. NBC, take the hint, and just give him a recurring role on 30 Rock. It would be alot better
I hate the fact that Michael Scott is gone even to this day. At first I did not like James Spader as the new boss/ceo, but his role in the show is so.....I don't know, his script is so good!! His best scene so far was in the Episode "Spook" where he gave his ending speech. Wow, seriously, just WOW!! I am truly amazed! Lol.
James Spader saved the Office just as it was going down hill. It's still not the same as it was in the first seasons, but at least he saved a sinking ship. I love Robert California.
ive only watched 3 episodes after michael left, just cant watch anymore. i need michael back. after hollys parents die they need to move back to scranton
at first I hated Spader but now I love him. He brings something different to the show. But I think its a stretch that he operates out of the Scranton branch.
idk i just cant see spader that funny to be the manager. ;D idk Steve Carrel will still be my favorite for this job and i just cant see this show without him . ;D
I can't wait to see how James Spader will play his character in the Office. Robert California, a man that can figure you out in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds, wow.
James Spader is not going to be the new manager. He is going to replace Jo as the CEO of Sabre instead! And I personally think that's hilarious, because he was overqualified for the managers position anyway! ;) Can't wait for Season 8!!
Whether he's the boss or CEO it's going to be great, especially because Dwight hates him. Spader is the complete opposite of Michael...should be interesting!
@shannonstone1979 Yeah, it's gotta be the show. I never watched Boston Legal, but now that I've looked at a couple clips here, I must say that he still looks nice!
If you ever deal with a character like Spader's character on The Office, just stare right back, but try to project the same degree of confidence as you extricate yourself from the situation. He wants to be alpha, but if you don't engage, it's hard, if not impossible. Dwight gets paranoid, Jim almost looks hypnotized.
James Spader is magnificent.
