Bob Odenkirk has opened up about missing out on the lead role in the US remake of The Office.
The Better Call Saul star was originally a frontrunner for the role of gauche office manager Michael Scott, but the part ultimately went to Anchormanactor Steve Carell.
Carell played Michael Scott for the first seven seasons of the show, before leaving the show and being replaced by The Hangover star Ed Helms.
Years after losing the part to Carell, Odenkirk guest-starred on the show in the ninth season episode “Moving On”.
