Georgia Engel & Chris Bauer to Guest on 'The Office'

[Brian Damage]

A (minor) legend from The Mary Tyler Moore show, and a veteran of The Wire and True Blood, will make guest appearances this season.

Chris Bauer, from the above-mentioned HBO dramas (Andy Bellefleur on True Blood, Frank Sobotka on The Wire), will soon visit Scranton as "a manager of another branch who’s angry at Jim and Dwight over clients that they’ve been stealing," according to Lieberstein. Then, as part of the Florida arc, MTM regular Georgia Engel — Georgette! — will guest for three episodes. "Erin gets a job in Florida helping out an older lady, and she's played by Georgia," he says. "The younger people on the show, having not grown up with Mary Tyler Moore, didn't feel the same sort of excitement I did. But I was like, 'Oh my God!' Her delivery is still fantastic."
