Well, according to him, he has “tended to be a typecast.” However, the Green Bay Packers decided to hire him. He mimics an office sequence named ‘The Bye Week’ in the Lambeau Field, as the rest of the front office has been enjoying their time off.

The Office star in his new workplace is seen in his same old character, playing mischiefs all around the place and answering questions in an obtuse manner- just like a typical Kevin Malone way.

The stadium itself is named after that move.” Noticeably, mixing up the facts. Safety LeRoy Butler invented the Lambeau Leap after scoring against the Los Angeles Raiders in 1993.
