It would be a different show, all right:

That's a quote. Did the guy actually say smart-forward-slash-eager? Anyway, Kietel would be great. Did you know he's 71? And still frightening.

The show would instantly fall apart, as a calm, competent boss led the office to a new era of stress-free, predictable routines. No, you need Harvey Keitel. If the picture above is any indication, he's working on a Bono biopic. But will he play Bono in old age, or his dad?
