The actor friend, playing Jim, comes into work like it’s any normal morning, except now he is of Asian descent.
Dwight, thinking it’s a prank, automatically calls him out, asking the imposter-Jim about a sale only Jim would know about.
In the third episode of Season 9, titled “Andy’s Ancestry,” Jim decides to enlist the help of his actor friend to pull the ultimate prank – faking his own identity.
It turns out, according to Pam, the Jim that was in the office that day was an acting friend of theirs, named Steve, while the real Jim was actually at the dentist.
