I am – Hercules!!


B.J. Novak is taking time off from “The Office” to star in Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds,” but an “insider” tells Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello that his character, Ryan Howard, may be leaving Dunder Mifflin for good:

According to one insider, Novak will be MIA for "several episodes" but will return later this season. Another source, however, says Novak may be done with The Office for good, at least as a performer. "He may write more episodes," whispers my mole, "but as far as playing Ryan, I think he's ready to move on."
