New Office Boss James Spader: "I'm a Little Scared of Him," Says Show Star

Exclusive! Castmember of hit NBC comedy admits nerves over meeting Steve Carell's replacement

As we all know, Steve Carell has left the building.

And with James Spader stepping in as the new head honcho on The Office, one show castmember is admitting it might take some time getting completely comfortable with the new man in charge...

"I don't want to speak for everyone but I'm a little scared of him," funnylady Angela Kinsey recently told us at the L.A. premiere of A Little Help.

"I think there's going to be a real interesting energy dynamic," she said. "I'm going to be a little nervous the first day I sit next to him in hair and makeup. I don't know what my first line is going to be. Like, 'What up, Spader! How was your weekend?' I think I'm going to be really shy."

As for how Kinsey and the cast will welcome their new costar?

"I'm not hazing James Spader," Kinsey laughed. "That sounds scary to me."
