Gene Stupnitsky: 我和Lee在电影《神魂颠倒》的办公室相遇,当时我是实习生,他是办公室助理。我们后来创作了一个关于失败魔术师的试播集,这帮助我们获得了在《办公室》工作的机会。在《办公室》工作期间,我意识到从主题出发写作的重要性,并学到了很多关于喜剧创作的知识。尽管最初我们担心会被解雇,但我们最终创作了许多成功的剧集。 Lee Eisenberg: 在加入《办公室》之前,我写的是严肃的军事法庭剧,但因为剧本中使用了太多缩写而被解雇。在《办公室》工作期间,我们从Greg Daniels那里学到了很多关于潜台词的运用。我们还面临着选择《办公室》还是其他节目的机会,但我们毫不犹豫地选择了《办公室》。在《办公室》的前几季,我一直担心会被解雇,但最终我们创作了许多成功的剧集。 Jenna Fisher: Greg Daniels曾认为我故意演砸了《分娩》这一集,因为我演不好Pam对婴儿说刻薄话的场景。这让我感到很惊讶,但也让我意识到Greg对剧集的质量要求非常高。 Angela Kinsey: 我很喜欢在《新老板》中扮演Angela Martin,因为这让我有机会展示了角色的另一个侧面。这让我意识到,在创作角色时,发现角色的新色彩总是最有趣的。
