For starters, Season 9 saw Stanley (who had always felt overworked, underpaid and surrounded by idiots while doing it) retire from Dunder Mifflin after many, many, many years and head down to Florida to enjoy the rest of his life.
And, when he returns for the reunion, Stanley reveals that he’s taken up carving wooden birds as a hobby.
Well, there are a few clues in the synopsis, so let’s break them down a bit.
So, aside from the very obvious detail of Leslie David Baker playing yet another Stan, you might be wondering how it seems so clear that this is the same Stanley who we saw on The Office.
