Charles Esten Was Featured In Eight Episodes Of The Office 

Charles Esten was featured in a total of eight episodes of The Office. He portrayed the role of Josh Porter in a recurring run. Esten considers his roles in the office as one of his most special ones. Charles was already a big fan of the show when he first auditioned for The Office. Even though it has already been almost a decade since the show stopped airing, Office fans have not stopped growing. Charles still gets recognized as Josh when walking in public.

Esten's role as Josh was a pretty special and memorable one, as he was mentioned in the pilot episode of the show. Even to this day, the actor cum singer has a wonderful place for the show in his heart. 

Esten Was A Big Fan Of Rainn Wilson 

Esten was already a big fanboy of the British version of The Office, and he even recalled almost most of the scenes he watched. So, he was quite skeptical about the American version of the show. But once he heard Rainn Wilson and Steve Carell were cast, he had his hopes up. Rainn and Esten knew each other from a bizarre pilot they shot together for a show called The Expendables, where they were androids who fight crime. Doesn't that sound hilarious? Imagine Rainn Wilson as an android, fighting crime, jeez. 

Esten knew that Rainn would pull off the comedic aspects of the shoe by giving it all from his humor, and it turned out as expected. The two shared the stage for eight episodes and made some incredible memories with each other.
