'The Office' star Leslie David Baker says he’s received racist abuse since announcing his plans to star in a spinoff series: 'For those of you who don’t believe racism is still alive in the world...here’s the proof.”
Baker launched a Kickstarter campaign in July to raise funds for a pilot episode of"Uncle Stan," an"Office" spinoff in which he'd reprise his iconic role. According to the description listed on the Kickstarter campaign, the series would begin with Stanley enjoying his retirement in Florida. In the pilot, the character would receive a desperate call from his nephew, Lucky, imploring him to help with raising his children and running his motorcycle shop in Los Angeles.
The Kickstarter campaign had surpassed its $300,000 goal by more than $40,000, money that will be used to fund casting, writer development and other aspects of production, per the fundraiser's description. The funds will also be used to"demonstrate fan base support," a requirement to gain eventual network backing.
