A&E "Office" webisodes showcase native son Brian Baumgartner

I knew that "The Office's" Ed Helms, formerly of "The Daily Show," was from Atlanta, but I didn't realize until recently that Brian Baumgartner, who plays Dunder-Mifflin's slow-witted accountant Kevin Malone, is also an Atlanta native, and even attended Westminster High School with Helms. Kevin, perhaps best known for his Scranton, Pa.-based Police cover band Scrantonicity, is the central character of "Kevin's Loan," this summer's series of two-minute webisodes of "The Office." Baumgartner won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Broadband Program - Comedy for the 10-part webisode series "The Accountants" in 2006. So far three webisodes of "Kevin's Loan" have gone on-line via NBC.com. Here's the first, which went up on July 10:
