More Casting Announced for THE OFFICE Spin Off

Deadline.com reports that more casting has been announced for the upcoming spin-off to NBC's long-running series THE OFFICE. Actors Tom Bower (Die Hard 2) and Matt Jones will now join previously announced cast members Rainn Wilson, Majanadra Delfino and Thomas Middleditch on The Farm, a new comedy set to debut mid-season. 

Bower will portray 'Heinrich', great uncle to Schrute siblings Wilson, Delfino and Middleditch. His character is described as "charming, greedy, manipulative… and may have had to spend time in Argentina following World War II, thanks to his German National Socialist roots." Matt Jones joins the cast as Dwight's cousin Zeke.

The Farm will follow the dysfunctional Schrute family as they manage their family's beet farm and bed & breakfast. Earlier this week, NBC announced that the veteran docu-style comedy The Office will close its doors after the upcoming season. The spin-off was conceived by Wilson and former Office executive producer/showrunner Paul Lieberstein.

Bower will soon be seen in the feature film "Out Of The Furnace" and will return in the role of 'Pop Pop' on FX's 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
