No

But he is pretty great though. Even if his character does fizzle out there pretty quickly toward the end.

Will Ferrel is bad in the kind of way where you keep watching because you're fascinated by how awful everything about him is. Which is how I feel about nearly all his movies and anything I ever see him in. Everyone hates his short stint in the office and yet I weirdly didn't. It's more a fascination into how much worse he could get, and then as suddenly as he appears... he's gone.

Gandolfini had some great comedic chops on The Sopranos. I bet hed have been good.

I will say I always laugh at his last scene when he shows up in a hospital gown and tells a joke in gibberish.

James Spader has an amazing voice. I put up with more of The Blacklist than anyone should just to hear that dude talk.

If you really believe that then it makes sense that Disney would have him voice Ultron in The Avengers 2, rise of ultron

He was the best part of the character

Didnt find it on any of the extras, but it turns out that heisenberg outright directed an episode of the show so that's the closest we're getting to a gangster in the show. And it was an episode where the office almost died

He was probably the first to have an outlandishly out of character role in the office. And though many followed suit he was by far the best.

I agree with an above poster, none of the characters seemed the same post- Michael leaving

I agree, he was the best part of an okay season (first half was good! Second half was not!).

"Do you want a nature metaphor, or a sexual metaphor?"

"Oh God, nature"

"When two animals are having sex in the wild, they....you know you're going to want to hear the sexual metaphor"

Cracks me up every time.

My favorite moment of his is when he drinks a foreign energy drink which translates to coconut penis and he just sighs and says, I liked it better before they added coconut.

As someone who never grew to like Michael, I loved Robert California. The show was already getting Flanderized and he was a great breath of weird air to a claustrophobic crew.

From what I've gleaned from interviews, Spader did it for the money. Same reason he stills stars in the Blacklist, that juicy-ass paycheck.

I've always liked Spader since Daniel Jackson, even though Michael Shanks is the superior Daniel Jackson.

Robert California is great for that season, but seasons 8 and 9 are both kind of pointless. So it doesn't really say much. Honestly, I would have preferred Ferrell to continue the legacy.

Worst thing about his being cast is the fact that I didnt see Age of Ultron until after seeing James Spader as Robert California so it was.. very difficult to take Ultron seriously.

But yeah Robert California is fucking great

Nah that's kinda nonsense. The characters were different as far back as season 4, if not 3. Hell Pam went from being the "shy bookish artsy fartsy student" in season 2 who pretended to have her period to get out of volleyball during pe class... to being an all time volleyball champ in season 5 who played varsity. Does not compute
