Dwight plays the protagonist , FBI agentive role Michael Scarn , who receives a phone call from the Chief Executive asking him to fulfill a “ very dangerous , maybe deadly ” grant ( and also to be the best man at his wedding ) .
It ’s not the funniest fit ever filmed for thesitcom , but watching the character deliver lines that you ca n’t already recite from retentiveness is a novel experience nonetheless . As for why the scene got axed , it could have had something to do with all the other significant moment creators need to equip into the episode . “ The Client ” is also the chapter in whichJim and Pambond during a fireworks show on the office rooftop , and Michael and Jan get together after Michael successfully romance a node ( play by Tim Meadows ) atChili ’s . ( Michael ’s unexpected business insightfulness here bestow credence to thefan theorythat he ’s actually a secret star . )
