Rainn Wilson has been cast in Transformers 2, MTV reports.
The actor, who stars as Dwight Schrute in the US version of The Office, will play a teacher at lead character Sam Witwicky's (Shia LaBeouf) university.
Speaking about the part, Wilson joked that his role would be that of a "professor that turns into a car that turns into a robot".
Wilson wouldn't divulge any more details about his involvement, but noted that he hadn't read a full script yet.
Shooting on Transformers 2 is currently underway in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Michael Bay's robot sequel will open in cinemas in June 2009.
