A Gen Xer's Accidental Journey from Merrill Lynch to Dunder Mifflin

David Wallace takes us inside The Office.

Andy Buckley never expected to become David Wallace, one of television's most recognizable bosses. But a chance encounter at a farmer's market changed everything.

In this Small Talk conversation, the Gen X actor tells the story of his surprising second act from a financial advisor in corporate America to CFO of Dunder Mifflin on The Office.

He also shares stories from the set working with Steve Carrell, Jenna Fischer, and Melora Hardin, why The Office continues to be so popular decades after it stopped production, particularly with Gen Z, and the current state of Hollywood production for 50-plus actors.
