TV Tonight: Stringer Bell is on The Office
I suppose I should give a "NSFW dialogue" warning
It could not be more perfect that Idris Elba, who so memorably portrayed Stringer Bell on The Wire for three seasons, will be starting his arc as the new suit from Dunder Mifflin's corporate headquarters tonight. After all, Stringer Bell went to business school, founded a co-op for Baltimore's drug dealers, and conducted meetings according to Robert's Rules of Order. If anyone can impart discipline to Michael Scott, it's that guy. The Office's writing staff are fans of The Wire - remember Michael's mangled attempt at recreating the dialogue last season? - and as it turns out, Elba is a fan of The Office as well. More from Elba here. Did you know he was English?
