Andy Buckley Speaker Biography

After his initial shot at acting didn’t pan out, Andy Buckley was 5 years into his career as a Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch, part of a team managing over $500 million in personal assets, when he got the luckiest phone call of his life – the offer to appear on the NBC comedy, ‘The Office.’ The FA position was the perfect background for his fictional role as David Wallace, CFO of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Buckley stayed at Merrill Lynch for 6 more years, while continuing his role on ’The Office,’ which has led to many other acting opportunities.

He presently has regular roles on the HBO comedy ‘Avenue 5,’ opposite Hugh Laurie and Josh Gad, as well as the upcoming Netflix action comedy series, ‘FUBAR,’ starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Past regular or recurring roles have included HBO’s ‘VEEP’ and ‘Silicon Valley,’ as well as ’Shameless,’ ’The Lying Game,’ ‘Odd Mom Out,’ ‘Casual’ and ‘Scorpion.’

In movies, he’s gotten to play opposite actors ranging from Will Ferrell, Michael Keaton, and Mark Wahlberg (The Other Guys) to Jeremy Renner (The House) to Alvin (yes, of Alvin and the Chipmunks) to Chris Pratt and the T-Rex (Jurassic World) and Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthy (The Heat). Other movies he’s appeared in include Lady Bird, Bridesmaids, Bombshell and the recent comedy ‘Most Guys Are Losers,’ opposite Mira Sorvino.

Andy Buckley emcees and speaks at various corporate and charitable events across the country. The mix of his continuing corporate background and ‘The Office’ persona lends an entertaining aspect to these speaking engagements.

Born in Boston, Buckley spent time growing up in St. Louis, Chicago, and South Florida. He attended Stanford where he played on the golf team his first two years at school. He’s married with two sons and resides in Los Angeles.

CFO of Dunder Mifflin on NBC’s “The Office”, Event Emcee, and Senior Financial Advisor (In real life)

Celebrities, They’re Just Like Businesses
’There is No Mystery to It…..Success in Acting is Like Success in Any Other Business’

Since the beginning of the Golden Era of Movies, Hollywood has tried to create some mystery around actors and that they’re these special magical beings who effortlessly move you and make you laugh and aren’t quite like the rest of us. The reality is that acting is like any other business, and the people who succeed have the same qualities as those who succeed in the business world.

After working 10 years as a Wealth Manager at Merrill Lynch and then making the jump to the silver screen with Andy Buckley’s role on The Office, he’s seen firsthand that being an actor is no different than being a successful advisor. All of the top members at Merrill Lynch had the same qualities he’s seen time and time again in some of Hollywood’s biggest actors.

Key Lessons include: The importance of preparation, a commitment to excellence, consistency, how open & transparent communication fosters trust in relationships, and why teamwork & collaboration is the foundation to reaching pinnacle success.

He was an incredible host and a true joy to work with in the preparation process as well as onsite. He really engaged the crowd and kept our agenda moving while being charismatic and upbeat all night. He truly over-delivered in the best way. Additionally, he worked hard ensuring he correctly pounced all our award winners names. Truly, can’t recommend him enough!

Informa | June 2, 2025

Andy was such a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond what was expected of him (which was our keynote session). He took the time to attend our network event the night before where he met everyone, took pictures, signed autographs, and got to know more about our organization. He also attended lunch the day of his keynote and sat with attendees. During his keynote, he remembered the names of specific attendees and called them out (only adding to their experience). He was kind, attentive, and such a joy to work with. I can’t say enough great things about Andy and would highly recommend him for any event.

The Argyle Group

“What an incredible night! I was a lil worried being our first Gala fundraiser, but we ended up with close to 500 attendees. Andy was a huge hit! Such a consummate professional, he stayed till the very end chatting with folks, taking selfies, and being the awesome guy he is. Some of our staff were shocked he even remembered their names from conversations a few hours earlier. On the program side, we got a late start and had to rework the program but Andy did a great job adapting and keeping the audience engaged.”

California Lawyers Association

Andy was great! A lot of people got a bit star-struck, which was comical. Really a big deal that he was so accessible throughout the conference. It made every time he got up to speak a little more personable.
