An amazing thing happened today, ladies and gentlemen. That’s because real life actor and on screen boss Andy Buckley, better known to you outsiders as David Wallace from NBC’s The Office, swung by our humble MTV offices today for a quick visit with your BWE.tv bloggers. VISUAL EVIDENCE:

Buckley met up with me in our brand new renovated lobby, (which looks like Mr. Freeze’s bachelor pad in Batman & Robin), and treated me to a light lunch around the corner at the always bustling Five Napkin Burger (very generous of him, if I do say so. I mean, I make literally dozens of dollars a month.)

Even in the few short blocks to the restaurant, it was amazing how many people recognized him immediately. Folks waved and, dare I say, beamed in his direction, only to receive a warm wave and smile in return. For a guy who has a real day job (as a financial advisor), Buckley definitely takes the time to appreciate his fans. (See, also, me, above, and lunch, etc.)

Andy is in town filming a part in the upcoming Will Ferrell/Mark Wahlberg joint The Other Guys — you can even see a shot of him filming in this week’s New York Magazine (spoiler alert: try to ignore the dummy.) You can also see him alongside Katherine Heigle and Josh Duhamel in Life as We Know It, a rom com scheduled for release around Christmas (OK, of 2010. They better be CGI-ing in, like, half the cast.) We talked acting, and comedy, I even saw photos of his son, who is gorgeous. Believe me, I’m really bad at lying when kids aren’t cute. Lil’ Buckley’s the real deal. He even mentioned he’d be sending around that famous Silk Stalkings clip as his Christmas E-card this year, to give people “a laugh.” Though we don’t really see what’s funny about preppy murderers, we’ll give him a pass on this one.

After lunch, he swung by our actual real life office (a mindf**k from Mars: I secretly wanted to get “fired” just to see what Jan felt like), where my authentic Dunder Mifflin mug sat proudly on my desk. And wouldn’t you know it? None other than co-blogger and officemate DAN HOPPER just happened to be here!

Coincidentally, Dan was in the midst of writing his Office recap, which got Buckley happy. “The Office? Make sure you tell them that David Wallace is watching you write that.” Meta? A tad.

He even was so kind as to take this photo of me and Dan, which I have since turned into an oil painting and hung above my invisi-mantle:

And check this out: A (fake) David Wallace business card!

So, if you were wondering where I was for half of the day, the answer is simple: Rubbing elbows with people way wayyyyy more important and DEFINITELY more successful than you or I.

And so, we conclude another day at “Exciting Things Like This Happen All The Time at BWE.tv” Headquarters.
