10 Ridiculous Roles We Want 'The Office' Cast to Play

By Zach Dionne Posted Feb 26th 2010 05:00PM

With John Krasinski facing off against comparative no-names for the role of Captain America, he could very well end up donning the tights in the forthcoming film adaptation of the popular comic. How about the rest of 'The Office'? Steve Carell ditching the NBC hit for a full-time career on the silver screen somehow still hasn't materialized, but one day, our beloved prime time co-workers will inevitably go their separate ways.

After the jump, the roles we bet 'The Office' cast would nail.

Oscar Nuñez as Bryant Gumbel
Yes, one's from Cuba, the other is from New Orleans. Does this refute the spitting image? Didn't think so.

Rainn Wilson (Dwight) as Leatherface
When the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' reimaginings max out their gritty thrills and elect to go somewhere campy and hilarious, Rainn Wilson's their man. Dubious? Watch the clip.

Jenna Fischer (Pam) as Amy Adams' conjoined identical twin in a Lifetime movie
This one goes without saying.

B.J. Novak (Ryan) as Tony Stark/Iron Man
Novak has played Ryan with a steady crescendo of misguided swagger for several seasons. Give him 15 or so years and he'll be more than ready to rock the role of the cocky billionaire turned superhero.

Creed Bratton as Phil Collins
Since Creed's already proven himself to be quite the rocker (in real life and on the show), who could better portray the former Genesis lead singer/drummer?

Angela Kinsey as My Size Barbie
If Hollywood keeps snatching up toy and games -- Erector Set, View-Master, there are even rumors of Monopoly -- for feature films, they can approach the 5-foot-1-inch Angela any old time. She did admit she wears doll clothes in one episode.

Brian Baumgartner (Kevin) as Jim Belushi
Suppose we told you we spotted Belushi on Martha's Vineyard this summer and thought it was Kevin for a second. Would you believe us? Good ... because it's not true (the thinking he was Kevin part, anyway). But it doesn't matter; this would be a riot.

Leslie David Baker (Stanley) as The Penguin
Something tells us the wobbly, misanthropic Stanley could pull off the umbrella'd Batman foe. Baker is funny and irritable and can probably rock diabolical.

Mindy Kaling as Condoleezza Rice
In a 'Legally Blonde' meets 'W.' style satire, perhaps?

Ed Helms as himself
The man behind Andy deserves to play himself in a biopic of one of the funniest men alive. Hollywood, can we get this fast-tracked for summer 2011? Thanks.

John Krasinski MUST play Chevy Chase, or any part Chevy has played. Except Clark...that is sacrelige!

By Der Office (German Version Of Show)

Rupert Murdoch wants Dwight on a new Fox News show with Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. Stanley is being considered for the movie biography of Long Dong Silver.
