SCRANTON, Pa. — The former cast member from the hit TV show 'The Office' was back in Scranton on Wednesday.
Brian Baumgartner, who played Kevin Malone, visited the University of Scranton the day after the release of his third book, "The Night Before Christmas at Dunder Mifflin." He answered questions and signed books for the university students. Then, he went on to a public book signing at the Viewmont Mall.
"I always love coming back to Scranton, one, but the University of Scranton is really a special place, not just to me, but to the entire cast and crew and creators and writers on the show," said Baumgartner.
Baumgartner told Newswatch 16 that the new book is a retelling of The Night Before Christmas set in Dunder Mifflin, as a gift for the fans. His other books are "Seriously Good Chili Cookbook" and "Welcome to Dunder Mifflin: The Ultimate Oral History of The Office."
Baumgartner played Kevin Malone on The Office from 2005 to 2013.
