Looks like James Spader gets to be the new boss. NBC announced on Wednesday that James Spader has officially joined the cast of “The Office,” reprising his season finale role as the influential Robert California. Fans of the show will remember Spader, as California, interviewed for Michael Scott’s job on the comedy’s season finale back in May. When Spader joins the show when it returns this fall, the actor’s character will be getting a big career boost. Instead of taking Scott’s old job, he’ll be stepping in as CEO of Sabre, the parent company of the fictional Dunder Mifflin. Very interesting choice. I think his character came off really well on the finale episode.
