Dwight is the only character that I couldn’t see played by anyone else. Jim and Pam are straight characters, they could have been played by a lot of people. Odenkirk’s Michael would have been different, but I think after a season or two they would’ve made him great. All the other characters were perfect, but at the same time they’re background characters so you can cut a character, or completely change the character to fit an actor’s skill set. Dwight was set up to be a top 3 character from the beginning, and clearly had a very intentional personality. As much as I love Patton and Judah, they’re just not Dwight.

Rainn meanwhile went in a totally different direction by making Dwight this over-the-top, self-righteous, intense lunatic, a very cartoonish character, which has worked beautifully, especially when developping that Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd relationship with Jim.

Seth Rogan would have ruined The Office series completely.

I don't know if it's just hindsight considering I've seen the whole show twice but as soon as the actual cast auditions started, they all just seemed so perfect for their roles :')

This is proof of how well selected the cast was.

I like Bob Odenkirk but I feel like his version of Michael Scott is a bit more...sleezy. Like some of the stuff Michael says, it would make you feel super gross if it was delivered wrong. Steve does it in a way that reminds you of a little kid - just blurting out whatever he thinks with no malice or creepiness.
