8. Chemistry
We already know The Office has one of the best casts on television today, but its not just the actors comedic abilities that makes them so great. No, what causes the cast of The Office to stand head and shoulders above the rest is chemistry. You could have a cast of Shakespearian actors, or Oscar winners, or Shakespearian Oscar winners, but without great chemistry youd have nothing but a bunch of talented people playing pretend. It would be great to watch but in the end wed all know its make believe. Not that anyone thinks The Office is a real documentary, but its the great chemistry that allows us to suspend disbelief for roughly thirty minutes every Thursday night. The superb ensemble cast of The Office fits together like a comedy puzzle. Playing off one another in a way that is rarely seen, from the more recent tension between Angela and Oscar, to the always satisfying feud between Jim and Dwight. Much of this is probably, definitely due to a bulk of the casts improve and theater background. Giving them an edge when it comes to working off the cuff as is often needed with a loosely scripted show like The Office. This allows actors to act freely, and naturally knowing full well their colleges with never miss a step ensuring maximum hilarity for us the loyal viewers.
