Apparently, Andy Buckley’s real-life business acumen hasn’t helped him in his TV-life role as Dunder Mifflin CFO David Wallace.

In Thursday’s Wall Street Journal, Buckley discusses his day job at an unnamed wealth-management advisory firm in Los Angeles. Buckley seems perfectly happy to have a full-time career in finance and part-time career as an actor.

“Instead of playing golf, this is what I do with my time away from the office,” Buckley told The Journal.

Buckley’s role on “The Office” may come to an end next month after the recent buyout of Dunder Mifflin left company executives on the chopping block. Buckley said he doesn’t even know his fate yet but said it will be revealed in the Feb. 4 episode.

Personally, I hope David Wallace survives the Dunder Mifflin cuts. He’s a likable character, the kind of guy who goes out to shoot hoops with an employee to escape the party he is supposed to be hosting. The problem with Wallace is his decision-making skills have been questionable at best. Promoting Ryan proved an unmitigated disaster and Wallace has a head-scratching habit of confiding in Michael Scott with company information and then being stunned when Michael inevitably spills the beans.

As for Buckley the actor and financial wiz, he seems as likable in real life as his on-screen character and when he says that “this whole Hollywood thing is just a passing fancy” for him, he comes off as very believable.

“It’s so fleeting,” he says of his time in the spotlight. His acceptance and understanding of that point is what makes Andy Buckley even more impressive.
