I don’t usually pass along pop-culture links, but this one was too good to be true. On Tuesday of this week, TMZ reported that Steve Carell, who plays Michael Scott on The Office, was selected for jury duty in an employment-related dispute in California! Well, at least he had some experience with litigation earlier this season….
Actually, that would be a GREAT foundation for an episode of The Office… Michael Scott, jury foreman, imparting his managerial wisdom during deliberations in a discrimination or harassment lawsuit.
Hmm… I could probably have the screenplay written by the time my Guild membership is approved…
