One of the best parts of NBC's "The Office" arriving on Blu-ray on Sept. 3 is the fact that it will contain audition tapes as a bonus feature.

The never-before-seen footage contains now big-time actors such as Seth Rogen auditioning for the hit NBC comedy in 2003 during a three month casting process.

While we think the cast worked out for the best, here's who else was up for the gig:

  • "Harold & Kumar" star John Cho and "Parks & Recreation" actor Adam Scott for prank-loving "Jim Halpert," went to John Krasinski.
  • "Parks & Recreation" actress Kathryn Hahn for female lead "Pam Beesly," went to Jenna Fischer.
  • Judd Apatow prodigy Seth Rogen for quirky "Dwight Schrute," went to Rainn Wilson.
  • "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet for lazy "Kevin Malone," went to Brian Baumgartner.
  • "Breaking Bad" actor Bob Odenkirk for boss "Michael Scott," went to Steve Carrell.

Watch the now-famous actors' audition tapes that didn't make the cut:
