 The episode guest starred Beth Grant , Steve Seagren , and Gary Weeks . Grant would later reprise her character in the ninth season episode " Junior Salesman " . Grant was asked to appear in the episode after Daniels saw her performance in the 2007 film No Country for Old Men . Grant praised Carell 's improvisational skills — noting that " he just keeps going off script [ and that he ] is channeling something " — as well as Wilson 's humorous antics while acting . She concluded that " if they had wanted a crazy , wild feature film using all the comedy that I saw in just those few days , you could absolutely have had one " with their acting .
