SCRANTON, Pa. — NBC's "The Office" called it quits after 9 seasons in 2013 and the final season is now headed to DVD.
To promote the DVD producers of the show have made a video available with some familiar faces auditioning for the roles we've come to know and love.
Casting for "The Office" originally took place in 2003 and most of the players who ended up on the show were no names. Before "The Office" only die-hard fans of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" knew who Steve Carrell was and the name John Krasinski seemed like a joke. Now, they're household names.
Some other names you probably didn't recognize in 2003 were Eric Stonestreet, Adam Scott and Seth Rogen. All of these actors auditioned for roles on the hit TV show.
It's fun to see a different take on Dwight from Rogen and Adam Scott's Jim actually would have worked.
The highlight for me, however, is Bob Odenkirk's audition for Michael Scott.
Some of you may better recognize Odenkirk as Saul Goodman on "Breaking Bad. If you don't, you should, he's incredible in it. Odenkirk is hilarious and some Office fans may recognize him as a Michael Scott-type boss who made in appearance in season 9.
