The Office: The Impossible Robert California Quiz

The Office: An American Workplace had many weird and intense characters over its nine seasons but perhaps none were weirder than Robert California himself. Introduced quite late in the show as effectively the new figurehead boss, James Spader clearly revelled in portraying such a quirky, enigmatic and completely unforgettable character.

Initially Spader was going to be a one-time only guest star in the famous episode where many different weird and wonderful characters from Scranton and beyond auditioned to fill the vacant manager’s chair after the departure of Steve Carell’s Michal Scott and the brief stint of Will Ferrell as D'Angelo Vickers.

So sharp, so intriguing, so over the top was Spader’s portrayal that they could not deny how perfect a fit he was to explore as a full season character and before you know it he becomes one of the lead stars.
