Fall TV First Look: James Spader on The Office

The Office

"I can assure you I did not win some sort of contest to replace Steve Carell," insists James Spader, who joins the cast of The Office as Sabre CEO Robert California in the September 22 premiere. "I just thought, this show is fun, this character is strange and NBC asked me to sign on, so I said, 'Absolutely.'"

How's life in the office so far? "It's probably the funniest group of people I've worked with."

For more first looks at fall TV — including The Good Wife, Vampire Diaries and Grey's Anatomy — pick up this week's issue of TV Guide Magazine on newsstands Thursday, August 25!
