Groban: "I'm surprised they didn't put a blindfold on me"

Groban, 30, spoke with Limelife about his upcoming spot on NBC's hit comedy, where he plays Walt Jr., the vocally-talented younger brother of Ed Helms' character Andy Bernard.

"Andy is the first born, which is usually the favorite son," Groban said. "So for whatever reason Walt Jr. stole his name from him, wound up being the happy go lucky one, is successful in business and can kind of do no wrong in the eyes of his parents. The episode kind of shows why Andy grew up to be the overachiver he came to be."

And perhaps because Groban has sold nearly 25 million records using his angelic tenor, the episode will also feature a whole lot of dramatic singing.

"This episode will show a trememndous musical rivalry in the [Bernard] family," Groban added. "The whole kinda musical tapestry comes to light in this episode for sure."

Before being discovered in his late teens, Groban was originally on track to be an actor, but decided to pursue music after being offered a record contract. He says this childhood dream is finally being realized now that he gets to work on films like Crazy, Stupid, Love and on The Office.

So what else would Groban like to star on?

"I would love to play someone really bad on Breaking Bad. A drug dealer or something. I'm obsessed with that show right now. It would be wonderful for me to be on 30 Rock too. But if someone asked me to pick anything I really would have said The Office. It's such a smart show, and I knew that the experience of being on the show would be great, and I was absolutely right."

Sadly, Josh says his manic tour schedule prevents him from taking more acting roles. And from finding romance.

"No, I am not dating anyone," he revealed. "That's what sucks about being on the road: not a lot of time to do film roles and not a lot of time to date."
