Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich received an unusual offer via Twitter on Thursday.

Hollywood star Rainn Wilson, who plays the character Dwight Schrute on NBC's sitcom "The Office," tweeted:

Dear @NewtGingrich: because of the many Newt/Schrute rhyme options, I humbly offer my services as your new campaign manager.

Gingrich quickly replied with a counteroffer:

@rainnwilson We have a campaign manager. What about assistant TO the campaign manager?

Gingrich, whose campaign has been plagued by reports of staff members quitting over disagreements with their candidate, could e! xpect the comedic actor to take his campaign in a new direction.
