TVGuide.com interviews Creed Bratton

Creed talks mainly about his band days with the Grass Roots.

An excerpt:

TVGuide.com: Why did you quit the band?
Bratton: I quit because I was asked to leave. I became the problem. I had an attitude.

TVGuide.com: Kind of like Creed on The Office?
Bratton: Pretty much like that. That’s why it’s working so well for me now. The character being burnt out and all this stuff is pretty well on.

Today’s forecast: still Rainning

Here are a couple of new articles on Rainn Wilson:

Employee of the Year, Maxim

An excerpt:

One of the biggest differences between the U.K. and U.S. versions of The Office is that you have a love interest, Angela. What makes their relationship work?

They’re both kinky. When they’re not at work, I think Dwight wears his grandfather’s Nazi uniform and they play, like, Nazi and Fräulein games. With a riding crop.

Celebrity Q&A, People

An excerpt:

Speaking of your bobblehead, I read that 14,000 of them have been sold. Care to guess what people are doing with theirs?

I think they are often used as sex toys — that’s what I hear, and I’m alright with that.

Hmmm, I’m sensing a common thread here … ;)

And did y’all catch Rainn on Leno last night, in complete Miami Vice pastel garb and stubble?

The Break Room interviews Angela Kinsey

“Three average guys” from Frisco, Texas, talk to Angela Kinsey about a variety of Office-related topics, including:

  • Oscar’s talking-impaired moment in a future webisode involving the word “Seiko.” After about 18 takes, he finally nailed it.
  • Angela’s inability to keep a straight face during the bologna and ketchup sandwich scene from Michael’s Birthday.
  • More details on what’s going to be on the Season 2 DVD set, including the fact that almost every episode will include commentary!
  • And of course, no interview would be complete without a tantalizing little thought about Season 3 …

Steve Carell: The Tao of Steve

Susie over at the LiveJournal Office community has posted scans of a Premiere Magazine article entitled “The Tao of Steve.”

It includes a funny quote from Rainn Wilson:

“Maybe many years from now they’ll discover Steve has a room in his house where he’s bitten the heads off of dolls,” jokes Rainn Wilson, Carell’s costar on The Office. “They’ll find, like, eight thousand dolls with their heads chewed off. But that would be it. There wouldn’t be any drugs, he never cheated on his wife, no alcohol in the equation — just one really weird thing that is ultimately discovered about Steve Carell.”

Check out the full article (and a skin-crawling bee picture!) here.

Steve Carell: Mr. Multi-talented

NEWS.com.au has a funny interview with Steve Carell, who talks, among other things, about his stint as Hammy the squirrel in the animated film, Over The Hedge:

One of Hammy’s special talents is his ability to burp the entire alphabet, and it’s a trait Carell is rather proud of.

“It took me many tries, but it’s a talent. I never thought when I learned to do that at age 13 it would pay off with a major motion picture. I should list it on my resume. I can burp and I own my own tux and I can drive a stick shift. I can do it all. Multi-talented.”

The article also includes Steve’s insight into his hilarious Golden Globe acceptance speech.
