You think that because you're looking as if these other actors were trying to be the Dwight you know (and not the Dwight of the original script). Of course nobody could do it better If your criteria is "who is like the Dwight I already know/like?".
Rainn turned this up to 11 whilst everyone else was doing average dry lackluster comedy. He must have also researched Gareth from the UK office, same clothes and playing that personality in his way.
@@rileybeilke1150 No he doesn't have to "admit" it. Fact is none of the other actors were hired so none of them had the opportunity to flesh out Dwight. The original reply was correct.
Yeah I like Bob odenkirk but no, Carell all the way. Carell also does that type of "looking around smiling" thing naturally. If you see him in interview, he's very similar to how he acts Also the lady who audition Pam, was a comedian and it wouldn't fit right.
Dwight is the only character that I couldn’t see played by anyone else. Jim and Pam are straight characters, they could have been played by a lot of people. Odenkirk’s Michael would have been different, but I think after a season or two they would’ve made him great. All the other characters were perfect, but at the same time they’re background characters so you can cut a character, or completely change the character to fit an actor’s skill set. Dwight was set up to be a top 3 character from the beginning, and clearly had a very intentional personality. As much as I love Patton and Judah, they’re just not Dwight.
I thought its the casting director who does this and if so, how can I get a career being a casting director. I got my bachelor's degree in films. I'm in Austin Texas.
@@Loooooooooooool1 because he said that LA was a good place and than 5 seconds later said that his car got robbed 12 times in downtown LA but that didn't matter because he didn't care about his car or the stuff in it and he's rich so it doesn't matter if he gets robbed. He also said that people that cared about their car getting robbed had too much of a personal connection to it
I love how Steve Carrell somehow made the interviewer laugh ten seconds into the audition. He didn't even know how he did it, or if he did then he just put on a forgetful persona. That's exactly the kind of energy they needed for someone playing Michael, effortlessly funny even when he's putting in too much effort.
Everybody grew into their iconic characters but Steve and Rainn were Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute from the moment they auditioned. Phenomenal actors.
I think John had a fantastic audition too. Looking at the others they were a little flat...it's a real talent to be able to deliver lines but make them seem so off-the-cuff and imperfect like they were supposed to in those talking head segments.
@@gllyflower John and Jenna were instrumental in the show but Steve and Rainn nailed their auditions straight up. I actually like this early version of Rainn better than the later one.

The casting really nailed Jim. This video didn't show much for the other two that auditioned but even still they were very stiff.

I feel like everybody else's version of Dwight is kinda like "yeah listen I'm a smart guy here". But Rainn gives out the vibe of self assured, eccentric, kind of try-hard authoritive attitude. Which is why he absolutely nailed the role.
It's very interesting, because the others all went with a more down-to-the-earth, "realistic" interpretation of Dwight: the lonely, creepy weirdo that nobody likes to talk to because he always goes on about government conspiracies and obscure Pennsylvanian laws that would allow him to kill the entire office in self-defense if they so much as touched his stapler. Rainn meanwhile went in a totally different direction by making Dwight this over-the-top, self-righteous, intense lunatic, a very cartoonish character, which has worked beautifully, especially when developping that Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd relationship with Jim.

The other Dwights have this "look how goofy I'm being" undercurrent. Rainn's Dwight lives in his own world where he's the only serious one and everyone else is goofy
I liked the last guys audition too, but Rainn just has something about him that just screams KYAAAA Dwight karate moves. And you can’t even imagine how hard it must’ve been to choose anyone either, especially with these really bored sounding lines
"Wow, I'm even boring myself." What a great, great line, and delivered so well by the real Jim. And as others have said, Rainn's casting as Dwight was perfect; no one could else have delivered his 100% conviction that he was in the right, every time.
The difference for Jim’s character is that the other guys made him serious, boring, tired and almost depressed, but John came up with a charming, lively, witty version who’s just bored of doing what he does and he prefers talking about other stuff and make things more fun, and maybe that’s why he does pranks etc.

I mean Bob Odenkirk would have done well, but I agree why he wasnt chosen, he had a darker edge to his acting, aka better call saul and breaking bad haha
I like Bob Odenkirk but I feel like his version of Michael Scott is a bit more...sleezy. Like some of the stuff Michael says, it would make you feel super gross if it was delivered wrong. Steve does it in a way that reminds you of a little kid - just blurting out whatever he thinks with no malice or creepiness.
Bob Odenkirk's Michael had me crying 😂 would've been very different vibes with him and they chose the right actor, but Bob would've done a phenomenal job
Allison Jones is a fucking genius. She also cast Parks and Rec, What We Do in the Shadows, and some of the best shows of the past 2 decades. She's a starmaker.
Gotta admit, Rainn Wilson is literally the only person who could play Dwight. Literally, nobody captures the personality of Dwight like him. Not even close. All the other characters I can see are close to what they want to be but Rainn Wilson is in 3 leagues ahead. Bravo
@@shatterpointgames NO. I think he's right. I can see the other characters having another actor (except for Michael's role) but outside that I think no one could have done Dwight except Rainn Wilson.
@@shatterpointgames I would say the main difference is that all the other actors tried too hard do be weird in a funny way. They just overshot the target. Dwight was on point with being weird, serious and creepy at the same time without looking like a "clown" or an obvious actor.
the face expressions of Dwight, Michael, Jim and Pam are literally the same as they played throughout the show. they are amazing and they added so much to their characters
if you wanted the proper answer, the actor that played creed was actually one of the background actors in the pilot, but they liked him so much they let him become an actual character.
Honestly, good job from the casting directors, they had the opportunity to cast big names but chose wisely and permitted us to have the Office, a true classic
Fun fact: Angela Kinsey's audition at 3:33 was actually for Pam. Instead, they rejected her and gave the role to Jenna Fischer, while Angela got the role for, well, Angela.
Bob Odenkirk would've made a fantastic Michael Scott! But casting him would've gone in the direction of comedy that's self-aware. What I love about Steve Carrell's portrayal is that I, as a viewer, am always in disbelief and saying, "Is this dude for real?!" LMAO
I think Bob Odenkirk would've been an excellent choice as well. However, it would have certainly been more like the British original or the German adaption.
At first, I was like ok, Jim's character is simple, and the guys auditioning did a good job. Basically any decent actor can pull off this role. But then came in John Krasinski and showed that how wrong I was. He just became Jim and I didn't feel like I was watching an audition clip, it felt like a real life talk
To me the only really big one was Dwight, I think Jim could have been played by dozens of actors actually. It would not have been the same Jim ofcourse.
@@katarzynafrasca5137 the fact is that John added that sort of self-irony, with that smile, which is typical of Jim. He knows he's just selling paper, and that it is a boring job, but it is not completely bored by that, on annoyed, or angry, because he sees something funny/ironic in the situation. That's what I've seen here in John and not in the other guy (they did not showed the entire audution of the asian guy, so I can't say how he was)
The whole cast of office was perfect, no doubts about that, apart from other shows where the jokes were sometimes forced upon using audiences laughing score, but this show was just perfect portraying how normal life of an individual can be so charismatic, fulls of ups and down and perfect balance of emotions, laughter and life long bond.

to have that many talented actors audictioning and decline many of them afterwards only demonstrate that the frontrunners had a clear mind of what the show needed to be good.
The writers and casting directors definitely weren't sellouts. They picked people that were totally unknown (John Krasinski was a waiter with no career at the time) over well-known actors. They knew the show would sell itself.

@@xooperz Lucky Bob wasn’t casted cause he might not have gotten casted in Breaking Bad and we wouldn’t have the legendary character that is Saul. Or at least a good version of him.
I'll raise you one more: The Office wouldn't have been what it was if Carell hadn't auditioned the way he did. He's playing Michael from season 2 onwards in that clip, not the one from season 1. It's like the producers rewatched that audition later during production and went "Yeah, let's go with that instead".
I can’t believe that Saul Goodman could have been Michael, Bob Odenkirk does a good job but Steve Carrell was just born for the role Edit: how do you silence notifications from a comment you made?
Melora Hardin is so incredible as Jan. You can tell she means business! And then the character arc reveals that she's just as messed up as everyone else. It's perfect.
Bob Odenkirk was having a hard time getting a role and was broke, until he finally became Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad. Now imagine if he became an iconic manager instead of an iconic lawyer. Bob now has an own show of himself.

Was great that they brought Odenkirk in for an episode as "another Michael". For me, he is the closest 2nd choice out of these. Still nowhere near the OG Mike, but was perfect for that episode.
Odenkirk could’ve done a very good Michael tbh. Could completely see it, he’s a natural. Ok satisfied with Steve, would’ve been satisfied with Odenkirk. Yet we probably wouldn’t have had Saul in BB, and wouldn’t have had the spin off. So everything worked out for the best I guess!
Nobody could play Dwight like Rainn. I love his almost angry intensity. I feel like the other actors auditioning didn’t know what to do with the character.
On the flip side, this makes me think about Benedict Cumberbatch in the Sherlock pilot. He was _so_ different in that compared to the ensuing series. You never know how these guys' interpretations would've changed.

Nothing more unnerving that someone staying still and saying the craziest things
@@jarb151 Absolutely, unnerving is the word...
The other Dwights have this "look how goofy I'm being" undercurrent. Rainn's Dwight lives in his own world where he's the only serious one and everyone else is goofy
@@craigrussell3062 Yeah Rainn Wilson probably knew that it would be much funnier to play him straight.
@@craigrussell3062 brilliant
The “que sera sera” part was improvised and you can hear the producers laughing in the background. Absolutely genius acting by Steve 😂
Rainn Is soooooo much better than everyone else auditioning for dwight
It’s crazy the difference you see between Rainn and the others that auditioned. He just fits the role more than anyone.
He is the only Dwight.
Gee, one wonders if that's why he got the role
Oh yea
I liked the last guys audition too, but Rainn just has something about him that just screams KYAAAA Dwight karate moves. And you can’t even imagine how hard it must’ve been to choose anyone either, especially with these really bored sounding lines
In an alternate universe somewhere, John Cho plays actual Jim and John Krasinski does a cameo as caucasian Jim 😂

@@Chicken_Rump You don't get the reference... even without the reference that isnt racist
The Office in the Multiverse of Madness.
John Krasinski has that charismatic, charming aura that no other Jim could ever have.
Asian Jim may work. But what do I know, I’m not Kumar.
Martin freeman was quest on the UK office
I think Paul Rudd could also do it
Here we go again
Except Asian Jim
"Wow, I'm even boring myself." What a great, great line, and delivered so well by the real Jim. And as others have said, Rainn's casting as Dwight was perfect; no one could else have delivered his 100% conviction that he was in the right, every time.
John Krasinski (Jim) looks into the camera.
Director:- Ya, he is hired.
That’s just an impression of Tim from the original office.
He doesn’t look into it?
The difference for Jim’s character is that the other guys made him serious, boring, tired and almost depressed, but John came up with a charming, lively, witty version who’s just bored of doing what he does and he prefers talking about other stuff and make things more fun, and maybe that’s why he does pranks etc.
Awesome analysis!👍🏾 You should look into being a casting director.
Nice
The original Jim in the UK Office was more of a serious, tired character so I’m guessing the acting call was asking for a character like that
word!
Yeah he raises questions and makes us curious about him
Is nobody going to mention how AMAZING jans audition was!! She’s been Jan ever since the beginning she just nailed it
There’s a really incredibly bad early 90’s Australian movie called reckless Kelly. She basically plays Jan Levinson in that movie aswell. And Hugo weaving basically plays agent smith in it. I’d say don’t watch it. But also watch it. Only once.

Bob Odenkirk, while didn’t become Michael, however he did become another type of Michael for a different company
I was thinking that what saul goodman is doing in audition🤣
Dwight is the heart of the show. Honestly what an authentic, sincere just overall amazing actor he is.

I agree he would have made a great Michael Scott and I honestly would have loved to see more of him as the boss in Philadelphia
I don’t think Odenkirk would have worked at all as Michael.
Rainn is just a different breed. What an actor. He was MADE to become Dwight.
Steve Carell is such an elite actor, you just believed him straight away.

I like Bob Odenkirk but I feel like his version of Michael Scott is a bit more...sleezy. Like some of the stuff Michael says, it would make you feel super gross if it was delivered wrong. Steve does it in a way that reminds you of a little kid - just blurting out whatever he thinks with no malice or creepiness.
He really does deliver it like a kid I never thought of that before lol
Yeah he's kinda like a slippin' Jimmy.
He was a guest on Season 9, Episode 16 playing a "Michael Scott type" of boss. You can see a little how it could've been him as Michael.
I feel like he would've fit the role of the original Michael Scott, like he was in the British version and in season 1 of the US version.
Michael is a little kid lover after all.
Bob Odenkirk's Michael had me crying 😂 would've been very different vibes with him and they chose the right actor, but Bob would've done a phenomenal job
Bob Odenkirk its a great actor but Steve carrell its amazing
It would have been closer to the British one
He’s the only other person who could’ve done Michael (it would’ve been so different but so good)
Agree!
No
Makes me appreciate how each character is perfectly selected. WOW!
This is why it's important to pick the right people, just not big names, for your cast. Office is legendary for that reason, I believe.
You are thinking in the perspective of 2003?
Allison Jones is a fucking genius. She also cast Parks and Rec, What We Do in the Shadows, and some of the best shows of the past 2 decades. She's a starmaker.
Can you imagine if Odenkirk had got the part as Michael? He may never have been cast in Breaking Bad (& better call saul)
At least he got a part near the end of the show.
OR ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS
Imagine Carrell playing Saul in BRBA XD
I had no idea he auditioned for The Office!
odenkirk is michael scott 2.0 in another company. Pam even said that to the camera crew when she went for interview
Gotta admit, Rainn Wilson is literally the only person who could play Dwight. Literally, nobody captures the personality of Dwight like him. Not even close. All the other characters I can see are close to what they want to be but Rainn Wilson is in 3 leagues ahead. Bravo
If someone else got the role you would say the same thing.
@@shatterpointgames NO. I think he's right. I can see the other characters having another actor (except for Michael's role) but outside that I think no one could have done Dwight except Rainn Wilson.
@@shatterpointgames I would say the main difference is that all the other actors tried too hard do be weird in a funny way. They just overshot the target. Dwight was on point with being weird, serious and creepy at the same time without looking like a "clown" or an obvious actor.
That's because he is Dwight, if someone else were Dwight they'd be Dwight and Rainn Wilson wouldn't be Dwight.
Dwight.
I'm gonna test this. I'll ask a few of my friends who have never watched the office to watch this clip and pick a Dwight.
It’s in the eyes. Can’t teach that. Thank goodness the casting agents were able to see it ❤. Pure joy to watch this show.😊

Bob Odenkirk would've made a fantastic Michael Scott! But casting him would've gone in the direction of comedy that's self-aware. What I love about Steve Carrell's portrayal is that I, as a viewer, am always in disbelief and saying, "Is this dude for real?!" LMAO
I'm glad they fit him in for a couple of episodes later in the show's run. He nailed it.
We are lucky to see him later as Saul Goodman
Yeah
He was their 2nd choice if they couldn't get Steve Carell.
I think Bob Odenkirk would've been an excellent choice as well. However, it would have certainly been more like the British original or the German adaption.
At first, I was like ok, Jim's character is simple, and the guys auditioning did a good job. Basically any decent actor can pull off this role. But then came in John Krasinski and showed that how wrong I was. He just became Jim and I didn't feel like I was watching an audition clip, it felt like a real life talk
This!
To me the only really big one was Dwight, I think Jim could have been played by dozens of actors actually. It would not have been the same Jim ofcourse.
its not really that jim is a hard role. john seemed to have taken it in his own direction and made the role better. kinda like dwight.
Maybe becaus You're used to the actor playing role.
@@katarzynafrasca5137 the fact is that John added that sort of self-irony, with that smile, which is typical of Jim. He knows he's just selling paper, and that it is a boring job, but it is not completely bored by that, on annoyed, or angry, because he sees something funny/ironic in the situation.
That's what I've seen here in John and not in the other guy (they did not showed the entire audution of the asian guy, so I can't say how he was)
The whole cast of office was perfect, no doubts about that, apart from other shows where the jokes were sometimes forced upon using audiences laughing score, but this show was just perfect portraying how normal life of an individual can be so charismatic, fulls of ups and down and perfect balance of emotions, laughter and life long bond.

Best casting for any show, ever. They nailed it.
Was great that they brought Odenkirk in for an episode as "another Michael". For me, he is the closest 2nd choice out of these. Still nowhere near the OG Mike, but was perfect for that episode.
Yeah I think even though they’re both great for the role, they went with Steve because he brings more of a “lovable” side to Michael
I think that Ben from parks and rec was also a good 2nd choice
Nah, Prison Mike is the closest 2nd
Odenkirk could’ve done a very good Michael tbh. Could completely see it, he’s a natural. Ok satisfied with Steve, would’ve been satisfied with Odenkirk. Yet we probably wouldn’t have had Saul in BB, and wouldn’t have had the spin off. So everything worked out for the best I guess!
What's really impressive about Steve is how well he handled the switch from Season 1 Michael
It's sooooo weird hearing Kevins actor talk in his normal voice and not over accentuate every word
That wasn't his real voice 😭
He talks like that for the first season
After the first season, Kevin was dumbed-down. He started covering his teeth with his lips when he'd talk to seem "slow."
Nobody could play Dwight like Rainn. I love his almost angry intensity. I feel like the other actors auditioning didn’t know what to do with the character.
I had the same feeling. Some actors actually look lost.
@Jesus has given you all. Repent or die. Make us
I think Mackenzie Crooke could do it. In a certain context, probably equal or better.
yeah i felt like they were trying to be a character that didnt care or just a guy with a lot of facts but Rainn brought an angry stuck up type of guy
On the flip side, this makes me think about Benedict Cumberbatch in the Sherlock pilot. He was _so_ different in that compared to the ensuing series. You never know how these guys' interpretations would've changed.
