The Justified Star Who Played A Small (But Key) Role In The Office

Although he didn't have a holstered pistol by his side, Timothy Olyphant felt right at home on the set of "The Office." In an interview, the actor said he'd been a fan of the series for a long time, so it was a no-brainer when he got the call to appear on a few episodes.

He had nothing but praise for "The Office" crew, saying, "It's so funny and so seemingly effortless. Everyone embodies their character, and they all do such a wonderful job of being hysterical and at the same time feeling so grounded and real and people that you feel like you can relate to and that you would meet in the office place." He couldn't stop showering everyone involved in "The Office" with compliments, from the writers to the actors, calling the entire experience a "thrill."

On the "Inside of You" podcast, "The Office" star Kate Flannery, who plays Meredith, admitted having to reign it in when Olyphant had a recurring role on the series. In the "Deadwood" star's first episode, the two shared a scene where Meredith attempts to seduce Danny, which Flannery was incredibly nervous about filming. Much like her "Office" counterpart, the actress admits that Olyphant is "a really good-looking guy," and the series capitalized on that, with Meredith quickly forgetting the plan of "The Sting" and seducing Danny.
