Big break
On the way to his Office audition, Baker got stuck in traffic, and the producers assumed he had been in the bathroom. He arrived sweaty and rumpled, let his cranky mood drive the reading, and got the pilot two weeks later.
A change of course
Baker taught special education, and he also appeared in OfficeMax commercials as an office worker, all while he was working on his MS degree.
