Typhoon I don't watch straight comedies, not my cup of tea...although I've seen some Seinfeld, it was played so much, hard to stay away. Can't say I've seen a single episode of the office, but am certainly familiar with it and have seen clips of it and friends discussing, etc. The guy playing Ryan does a good job. I'm sure there are plenty of actors who could do it better or play the role most would expect. I appreciate his ability to do it, IMO a straight forward/no nonsense/get results vs. brute force, some funky martial arts, crazy special effects, etc. It just works for what it is!
