‘The Office’ Producer wants Harvey Keitel

Executive producer Paul Lieberstein recently discussed replacing Steve Carell on The Office, and mentioned Harvey Keitel as a possibility, stating, “He’s probably the only guy who can do it, and he’s doing TV now. I haven’t started any talks with his people, but Harvey would do a great job – a very different energy. And we don’t want to bring in another Michael, having someone play a very similar character because we have such a high regard for Steve.”

As far as what the character would be like he said, “He’s an old salesman who thought he could retire and the stock market went down, and he has to come out of retirement to work for a few years.”
