Guest starring on The Paper will be Eric Rahill, Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim, Mo Welch, Allan Havey, Duane Shepard Sr., Nate Jackson, and Nancy Lenehan. Produced by Universal Television, Daniels will direct episodes along with Ken Kwapis, Yana Gorskaya, Paul Lieberstein, Tazbah Chavez, Jason Woliner, Jennifer Celotta, Matt Sohn, Dave Rogers, and Jeff Blitz. Beyond Nuñez, there's no word if any other The Office alum will make cameos, but star Steve Carell admitted he won't be appearing, but will watch as a fan. He and co-star John Krasinski offered advice for Gleeson. "They're both very selfless actors, and I think that's necessary in work like that. I think it has to be about the ensemble," Gleeson told Collider. "They seem to be like that with all of their work. I think just leading by example, that was a lesson for me on its own. They're also really funny, which is terrifying. That's the other thing."
