Wealth-management adviser Andy Buckley may be about to lose his job -- his acting job on NBC's hit TV show "The Office," that is.

Every morning, 43 year-old Buckley goes to work at a leading investment bank and wealth-management advisory firm in Los Angeles. But while some of his co-workers leave midday to play a round of golf, Buckley's schedule allows him to occasionally show up on the set of "The Office" to play Dunder Mifflin's Chief Financial Officer, David Wallace.

"It's crazy. It's a fluke," Buckley said of his moonlighting as an actor.

Before entering the world of finance, Buckley spent the '90s appearing in guest roles on TV programs like "Silk Stalkings," "Melrose Place" and "The West Wing." "It wasn't like I was setting the world on fire acting-wise," he said. His classmates from Stanford University went on to careers in investment banking, real estate and Silicon Valley. But after receiving his bachelor's degree in political science, Buckley moved to New York City to study acting. During these years, he worked odd jobs that ranged from cleaning pools to being a counselor for kids.

In 2001, Buckley gave up acting and switched careers. He filmed what he thought was one of his final roles on an episode of "NYPD Blue" and showed up for training at a leading investment bank two weeks later. Still employed at the firm more than eight years later, Buckley said he is unable to disclose its name due to company policy. (His company is fine with his side gig, he said, but he has to run everything, includingthis interview and scripts, by compliance.)
