The Office is an American mockumentary sitcom television series that depicts the everyday work lives of office employees at the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.

✨ Meet some of the characters ✨

• Michael Scott

  

  Michael is the main character of the series, serving as the Regional Manager of the Scranton branch, known as Dunder Mifflin Inc. Apart from his masterful salesmanship, Michael is lacking in almost any other skills, management or otherwise. Michael's habits of joking around and treating professional colleagues as personal friends are often inappropriate for management.

• Pam

  

  Her character is shy, growing assertive but amiable, and artistically inclined. Pam acts as something of a guardian angel for Michael, steering him away from (numerous) bad ideas and towards his (fewer but real) good ones.

• Dwight Schrute

  

  Assistant to the regional manager, volunteer sheriff deputy and beet plantation owner. Dwight is trained in the art of surveillance as a black belt in Goju-Ryu karate, and is the senpai at his dojo. He does not like to smile, as showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates, and that whenever someone smiles at him, "all [he] sees is a chimpanzee begging for its life."

• Kelly Kapoor

  

  She is the former Customer Service Representative at Dunder Mifflin/Sabre's Scranton Branch, but left for Ohio with her then-boyfriend. She is the office drama queen, obsessed with pop culture

• Kevin Malone

  

  Also knwon as Ashton Kutcher. Kevin received a job as an accountant at Dunder Mifflin after applying for a job in the warehouse because Michael Scott had "a feeling about him. Kevin is typically quite subdued, although he is known for making blunt or offensive comments regarding the other employees.

• Angela

  

  She is head of the Accounting department. She can often be cold and stern with others. Angela loves cats and owned several of them.

• Creed

  

  Creed Bratton is a deviant, former hippie and homeless man employed at the Scranton branch of paper distributor Dunder Mifflin as a quality assurance manager. Creed is a mysterious figure who is prone to making bizarre or confusing statements on a regular basis.

• Jim Halpert

  

  Sales representative. His character serves as the intelligent, mild-mannered straight man role to Michael, although it is also defined by a rivalrous pranking on fellow salesman Dwight Schrute.
