10 Actors You Didn't Know Were Almost Cast In The Office
1. Jason Segel As Michael Scott
Yet another actor who auditioned to be Michael Scott was Jason Segel, who - like Seth Rogen - has gone on to do a lot of work as one of Hollywood's comedy favourites.
The office would've felt different with a good-natured giant like him around and it feels like he would have played Scott a lot younger.
Segel didn't suffer too much when he lost out on the role, propelling himself into stardom instead. He got the job as Marshall Eriksen on How I Met Your Mother soon after and he has starred in many famous movies like forgetting Sarah Marshall, Bad Teacher, and I Love You, Man.
