Domhnall Gleeson (42) before he agreed with the “The Office” spin-off “The Paper”, advice got advice on two original series stars. the actor revealed that he consulted both with Steve Carell (62) and John Krasinski (45) before taking his series role in the new “The Office” series.

Krasinski gave him a very simple advice, said Gleeson: “He was wonderful. I mean, his great advice he gave me was to do it.” And he also had a similar experience in conversation with Carell:

“And the same applies to Steve Carell, another wonderful actor that I had already worked with,” said Gleeson. “The advice was: If it is Greg Daniels, you should definitely do it, because working with him is a pleasure that not many people have.” Daniels is the director, producer and screenwriter behind the cult office series “The Office”.

Gleeson was enthusiastic about the upcoming spin-off in conversation, which appears at the US streaming service Peacock. He was so happy that he accepted the role. “I think we really created something nice.”

The enthusiastic reports of the “The Office” icon Steve Carell and John Krasinski would have confirmed him all the more in assuming the role. “I would like to think that I would have done it alone there, but if John and Steve said: ‘Don’t do it, it is a nightmare’, I would have run away. But you couldn’t have commented more positively about it and I am glad that I listened to you.”

The new series plays in the vicinity of a tumbling newspaper, as “Variety” reported. “The documentary film team, which immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s branch in Scranton, is looking for a new topic when you discover a dying historical newspaper from the middle west,” says a short summary.

Steve Carell thinks the concept of the offshoot, he is also enthusiastic about the new leading actor Domhnall Gleeson: “I did the series ‘The Patient’ with him, and he is an excellent actor and a super nice guy, so I think it will be great.”
