Guest stars on The Office weren't an uncommon occurrence. The show went on for a whopping nine seasons (201 episodes), so there was plenty of time for additional actors on The Office, outside of the brilliant ensemble cast. Some of the The Office guest stars appeared briefly, while others had multiple episode extended stays, but there were so many that it's not always easy to remember them. Let's refresh our memories and take a look back at some of the people you forgot were guest stars on The Office.
