Pranks and NBC's "The Office" have been practically synonymous since Episode 1. Who can forget Dwight's stapler in the Jell-O? But guess what, Dunder Mifflin fans: The pranks are all fiction for the cast of NBC's soon-to-end sitcom, according to Oscar Nuñez, who plays accountant Oscar Martinez. "Why are you guys hung up on pranks? Everybody wants pranks!" Nuñez told Ben Lyons of Yahoo!'s "The Sidebar," when Lyons asked about on-set shenanigans. "It's a job. We just go to work like everyone else. We're not big pranksters," Nuñez added before driving his point home by suggesting that infamous prankster George Clooney subcontracts his pranks.

When chatting about the hilarious Steve Carell, Nuñez had only good things to say: "We got really lucky that he was the lead. He would be like a Peter Sellers if we were back in the '60s. He's that good. He's just that funny."

What about Carell's attitude between takes? Did he do anything to

Beckett confesses that she flew to Washington, D.C., to interview for a federal task force position. "I'm sorry, you interviewed for another job in another city, and you didn't tell me?" asks Castle, shocked.

Big entrance is right. In an attempt to make a graceful approach, Avery tumbles down the steps -- twice! At least Dustin seems really impressed that she didn't cry. Score one for Avery.

Wonder what Stan the dog will have to say about it all.

"Avery's First Crush" airs Sunday, 5/12 at 8 PM on the Disney Channel.

While doing her final talking head (the scenes where characters talk one-on-one to the camera), she couldn't even get the words out: "They wanted me to stand in front of accounting, so this tiny corner in this room that I've sat at for nine years is right there.
