The Office were “almost killed twice” while filming episode ‘Work Bus’.The two actors, who play Pam Beesley and Angela Martin respectively in the sitcom, recalled the incident in their new book The Office BFFs: Tales Of The Office From Two Best Friends Who Were There, which was released on Tuesday (May 17).The episode, directed by Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston, saw Dwight (Rainn Wilson) convert a bus into an office space after Jim (John Krasinski) convinces him the office building is unsafe.In an excerpt from the book on Mashable, Kinsey wrote: “We want you to know that we see the irony that Bryan Cranston, aka Walter White Sr.

or ‘Heisenberg’ as he was known in crystal methamphetamine circles, was an accessory to almost murdering the entire cast of The Office.

I assure you this is pure coincidence.”The bus itself fits 14 actors and four crew members, along with work furniture props.

After the air conditioning had to be turned off because it was too loud, Kinsey thought “the heat and the nausea seemed like our worst obstacles” but the trip’s dangers escalated when a stunt driver was brought in to make a bus swerve look more authentic.Kinsey added: “We were saying our lines and everything was going smoothly when all of a sudden, we heard the assistant director yell, ‘Swerve!’.
