Gestión

David Wallace

David Wallace ( Andy Buckley ) es el director financiero , luego director ejecutivo de Dunder Mifflin .

Es despedido en la sexta temporada luego de la absorción de Dunder Mifflin por Saber. Más tarde vende su patente para una aspiradora de juguete, llamada "Suck It", ^[1] al ejército de los EE. UU. Por $ 20 millones ^[1] y luego adquiere Dunder Mifflin por una suma de dinero no revelada y se convierte en CEO.en el final de la octava temporada, " Free Family Portrait Studio ".

Deangelo Vickers

Deangelo Jeremitrius Vickers ( Will Ferrell ) fue el reemplazo de Michael como gerente de sucursal durante el final de la séptima temporada, ya que Michael se mudaba a Colorado con su prometida, Holly. Su personaje debutó en un arco argumental que duró cuatro episodios, siendo los tres primeros los últimos tres programas de Steve Carell como miembro principal del reparto y luego el primer episodio posterior a Michael Scott, " The Inner Circle ". En las apariciones del personaje, se muestra que es en gran parte incompetente para ocupar el puesto de Michael, ya que ha demostrado ser un gerente parcial, un vendedor terrible y un mal presentador de la entrega anual de premios Dundies. ^[2] En " Adiós, Michael", le revela a Andy que no fue contratado por su experiencia comercial, sino porque ayudó a prevenir el robo de uno de los perros del CEO Jo Bennett .

A pesar de su afinidad por el suroeste de Estados Unidos , Deangelo es originario de Maine . Al igual que Toby, cuando era niño, su madre se divorció de su padre y se vio obligado a elegir entre ellos. Él mismo tiene cuatro hijos, incluido al menos un niño, a quien parece resentir por una razón desconocida. Deangelo fue una vez obeso mórbido, hasta que hizo un pacto consigo mismo para ponerse en forma y perdió 203 libras (según Michael en " Michael's Last Dundies "; sin embargo, esto entra en conflicto con la biografía de NBC, que dice que Deangelo perdió 176 libras). ^[3] A lo largo de " Adiós, Michael", Deangelo comienza a mostrar signos de un ataque de nervios debido a su deseo de comenzar a comer comida chatarra nuevamente. Luego comienza a derrumbarse frente a todo el personal, durante una fiesta de despedida para Michael, metiendo sus manos en el pastel de despedida de Michael, y gritándole airadamente. ^[4]

En su episodio final, " The Inner Circle ", después de presumir de su habilidad para encestar una pelota de baloncesto, Jim lo llama sobre el asunto, lo que conduce a un accidente que requiere la hospitalización de Deangelo y la salida de Dunder Mifflin. Al final del episodio, se da a entender que ha sufrido daño cerebral, ^[5] y en el episodio posterior se dice que está en coma. En " Lotto ", se dice que tiene muerte cerebral , pero técnicamente sigue vivo. ^{[6] [7]}

En su último día en Scranton en el " Día de San Patricio ", Darryl la impresiona con una idea para mejorar el envío y ella lo recompensa dándole la antigua oficina de Jim. Esa noche, cuando ella todavía está trabajando mientras el resto del personal está desesperado por irse y disfrutar de las vacaciones, muestra su respeto por Michael después de que él le dice que está permitiendo que sus empleados se vayan. En " Whistleblower", el final de temporada, Jo llega a Scranton decidida a averiguar quién filtró información a la prensa sobre las impresoras de Sabre en llamas. Finalmente, se concentra en Michael, quien se niega a hablar y lo lleva a su avión privado para que confiese. , pero en realidad, Jo puede sentir que Michael está pasando por una mala racha y los dos tienen una conversación de corazón a corazón. Durante la conversación, Michael se ofrece como voluntario para aceptar la responsabilidad pública por el escándalo y habla con la prensa. Jo agradece a Michael y dice que si hay algo que él necesita, ella estará feliz de ayudar, lo que llevó a Michael a bromear sobre traer a Holly de regreso a Scranton, a lo que Jo dice "Déjame ver qué puedo hacer" (y Holly regresa en temporada 7).

En la temporada 7, luego de la partida de Michael y su reemplazo Deangelo Vickers, Jo convierte a Dwight en el gerente regional interino en " Dwight K.

Cuando Jo se entera de los problemas personales actuales de Gabe con respecto a Erin y Andy, decide transferirlo de regreso a la sede de Florida. También le dice al comité que le conceda una entrevista a Dwight, diciendo que le gusta "un poco de locura".

En el estreno de la octava temporada, " The List ", Jim le cuenta al equipo de cámara cómo contrataron a Robert California como gerente de sucursal durante el verano, pero renunció de inmediato, condujo hasta la sede de Sabre en Florida y luego convenció a Jo para que diera él su posición como CEO de la compañía (en realidad, Bates dejó The Office debido a su compromiso con Harry's Law). Sin embargo, Jo permanece como presidente de la junta, y Robert todavía se refiere a Jo como su jefe. Más tarde en la temporada 8, Nellie Bertram reaparece, después de haber sido contratada (fuera de la pantalla) por Jo como Presidenta de Proyectos Especiales de Sabre. Al final de la temporada 8, se anuncia que Jo Bennett vendió Dunder Mifflin a David Wallace. Jo además planea liquidar todos los activos de Sabre, disolviendo así de manera efectiva y permanente la empresa.

Josh más tarde se convirtió en el jefe de Jim, después de que Jim fuera transferido a Stamford. y parecía que pensaba en Josh como un modelo a seguir. De manera similar a su relación con Toby, Michael estaba resentido con Josh, inicialmente porque sentía que Jim prefería la amistad de Josh a la suya propia y, aunque luego se demostró que esto no era cierto, Michael aún conservaba un cierta animosidad hacia él.

En escenas eliminadas del episodio " La Convención ", Josh afirma que una vez pasó un tiempo trabajando en Israel, y también le dice a Dwight que una vez fue miembro de la Guardia Costera de los Estados Unidos .

En " Cierre de sucursal ", cuando se anunció el cierre de la sucursal de Scranton, a Josh se le ofreció un ascenso para convertirse en gerente de la recién formada región noreste de Dunder Mifflin. Sin embargo, aprovechó la oferta para obtener un trabajo de alta dirección en Staples , lo que hizo que los planes para el cierre de Scranton fueran un caos. Como resultado directo de la decisión de Josh de dejar la empresa, se decidió cerrar la sucursal de Stamford. Disgustado, Jim dice más tarde del doble trato de Josh: "Di lo que quieras sobre Michael Scott, pero él nunca haría eso".

En " Broke", preocupado por la nueva compañía de Michael que está cazando furtivamente a varios clientes, Charles se reúne con David Wallace en la sucursal, y le da la espalda descaradamente a David, lo que Jim se da cuenta.

Charles, sin embargo,dejar Scranton y regresar a la sede corporativa. Tras su partida, intenta decir sus palabras de despedida, pero Michael lo interrumpe, reflejando el trato anterior de Charles hacia él. Charles reaparece en "Company Picnic ", donde nuevamente es condescendiente con Jim y muy competitivo en el juego de voleibol contra la sucursal de Scranton. Sin embargo, también se confirma que Charles ya no tiene ninguna autoridad sobre la oficina de Scranton.

En " The Banker ", Pam afirma que Michael es ahora el empleado de más alto rango en lo que queda de Dunder Mifflin tras la terminación del liderazgo ejecutivo debido a una mala gestión. ^[10] Si bien esto implica fuertemente que Charles ha perdido su trabajo, esto no se confirma hasta " Viewing Party ", cuando Michael nombra a Charles como uno de los muchos jefes que ha sobrevivido. ^[11]

Como revela Ed, alguien también había defecado en la alfombra de su oficina, y su consejo para Michael es "¿Por qué no puedes dejar que tus trabajadores sean tus trabajadores, tus amigos tus amigos y tu familia tu familia?" (La broma aquí es que Michael no tiene amigos o familiares reales, y sus empleados actúan como sustitutos reacios).

En " Consejería de duelo ", Jan le informa a Michael que Ed ha muerto recientemente. Aunque está sorprendido por la noticia, Michael no parece estar de luto por la muerte de Ed, hasta que Creed le informa de la forma espantosa en que Ed había muerto: aparentemente estaba "borracho como un zorrillo " y conducía por la Ruta 6 , cuando logró irse. bajo un camión de 18 ruedas , decapitando a sí mismo.

Sin embargo, Troy más tarde reaparece en " Junior Salesman " como uno de los extraños solicitantes de empleo que solicita un puesto de ventas a tiempo parcial en la sucursal de Scranton. Troy exhibe un comportamiento extraño junto con el resto del grupo, como disparar un refresco durante el almuerzo.

Asistentes administrativos

Cathy Simms

Cathy Simms ( Lindsey Broad ) es la joven y atractiva oficinista temporal que estaba reemplazando a Pam mientras estaba de baja por maternidad. Más tarde se revela que su ética es cuestionable. Permaneció empleada en la empresa durante un corto período de tiempo después del regreso de Pam.

Durante su tiempo en la oficina, Cathy mantuvo una presencia bastante discreta, y mientras los miembros del personal que se molestaban en prestarle atención a menudo la difamaban o la burlaban (Dwight en particular), ella pudo encontrar puntos en común con Jim, con con quien desarrolló una relación. Sin embargo, en " Pool Party ", hay sutiles implicaciones que sugieren que sus sentimientos hacia él son más que platónicos. ^[15] Su enamoramiento por él se confirma finalmente al final de " Proyecto especial ", cuando, después de ser seleccionada para viajar por un viaje de negocios de tres semanas a Florida con Jim y otras cuatro personas, informa en privado a un amigo, a través de su celular. teléfono, de sus intenciones de seducir a Jim, a pesar de su matrimonio e hijos. ^[dieciséis]En una escena eliminada del mismo episodio, también le preocupa perder su trabajo, ahora que Pam ha regresado, e insinúa que, en el futuro, podría estar lo suficientemente desesperada como para considerar casarse con un hombre que conoce, llamado Doug, solo por el estabilidad financiera que podría proporcionar. ^[17]

En " After Hours ", Cathy pone en acción su plan para seducir a Jim. Ella aparece en su habitación de hotel, con ropa de ocio bastante escasa, alegando que el equipo de mantenimiento del hotel está trabajando en su habitación.

Luego, Dwight irrumpe con productos químicos para rociar contra las chinches , y Jim le dice que un insecto está siguiendo a Cathy. Dwight procede a perseguirla fuera de la habitación, mientras Jim disfruta de su angustia. ^[18]

En una escena eliminada del siguiente episodio , ella está molesta porque Jim ahora está actuando de manera incómoda a su alrededor, aunque una entrevista con la cabeza parlante muestra que todavía está bajo la ilusión de que tiene la oportunidad de tener una relación romántica con él. En una entrevista posterior con el objeto de su afecto, Jim le dice al equipo de cámara que cree que ella está "loca". ^[19] Sin embargo, en " Last Day in Florida ", parece que ya no se preocupa por Jim, ya que se ríe junto con Dwight cuando Dwight lo insulta repetidamente (aunque, también es posible que ella solo estuviera haciendo esto porque Dwight era vicepresidente de Nellie Bertram en ese momento). No se la muestra regresando de Florida con sus compañeros de trabajo ^[20].y en el siguiente episodio, su escritorio parece estar vacío. ^[21] El 19 de marzo de 2012, Broad confirmó que Cathy no regresaría, afirmando, a través de un mensaje de Twitter, que "Cathy ha terminado [tentando] en Dunder Mifflin". ^{[22] [23]}

La letra de una de las canciones, titulada "That One Night", así como el comportamiento de Jan cuando la escucha, parecen implicar que Hunter pudo haber tenido relaciones sexuales con Jan, y posiblemente perdió su virginidad.a ella. En el sitio web de Jan, "serenitybyjancandles.com", enumera una vela como "Verde cazador" y escribe: "Esta fragancia firme y juvenil te hará la boca agua.

Schrute, gerente (interino) ", Dwight le informó que sus compañeros de trabajo la ven como una broma porque solo la contrataron por su apariencia; parecía irritada pero no particularmente sorprendida. ^[6] En una escena eliminada, su comportamiento cuando habla con el equipo de cámara sobre Jim implica que estaba enamorada de él. ^[26]

Jordan no se ve en la octava temporada, sin explicación de qué fue de ella. Paul Lieberstein luego confirmó que ella no regresaría al programa, pero no explicó por qué. ^[27]

Ronni

Ronni ( Dale Raoul ) fue el reemplazo temporal de Pam como recepcionista, contratado cuando Pam fue a la escuela de arte en la ciudad de Nueva York en el episodio " Pérdida de peso ". Durante su corto tiempo en la oficina, Ronni rápidamente se volvió impopular; Michael no la apreciaba abiertamente y, durante una fiesta en la oficina, su pregunta "¿Alguien quiere bailar?" fue recibido con unánime disgusto. Michael más tarde la despidió y la reemplazó con Ryan, en parte porque Michael había sentido que ella era "aburrida".

A menudo comparte el típico humor obrero del almacén. Aunque generalmente escrito como grosero, desconsiderado y egoísta, su personaje es algo menos cruel y verbalmente abusivo que su contraparte del Reino Unido.

Lonny Collins

Lonnis "Lonny" Collins ( Patrice O'Neal ) es un trabajador portuario. Lonny se une a su amigo Darryl en demostraciones abiertas de irritación e intimidación hacia Michael. Se convirtió en un partidario vocal de Darryl al tratar de establecer un sindicato, citando el bajo salario que reciben en comparación con los empleados de oficina.

Nick se menciona más tarde, junto con todos los otros exadministradores de TI, en " WUPHF.com ", pero solo se lo conoce como " lentes ", lo que demuestra que, incluso después de su iracundo encuentro final con ellos, los empleados de la sucursal de Scranton aún no pueden para recordar su nombre.

According to a deleted scene from "The Merger", Martin is 37 years old. Before working at Dunder Mifflin, he served time in prison after getting busted for insider trading (which Kevin says is strangely similar to what he does). However, since he was put in a minimum-security facility, Martin claims his time in prison was just really boring. When he was released, he was hired by Josh through a federal reformed convict employment program, which allows Dunder Mifflin to receive rebate checks. Michael made a bad first impression on Martin, when he told the African-American employee, "I will show you where all the slaves work". He attempted to befriend Stanley, but failed. In "The Convict", when Martin's past is revealed to the office, Michael overly stresses his trust in Martin to everyone, worried that people would see him as a racist for looking at him as an ex-convict. However, since Martin's tales from prison were generally positive, everyone actually envies his experience compared to their jobs, frustrating Michael. Martin is the second employee from the Stamford branch to leave because of Michael's management style, particularly after Michael makes his prison sentence the focal point of one of his seminars.

Hannah Smoterich-Barr

Hannah Smoterich-Barr (Ursula Burton) was an Accountant at the Stamford branch, and was one of the six employees transferred to Scranton. In "The Merger", Hannah had unpleasant encounters with Ryan (who found it impossible to concentrate while she was using a breast milk pump) and Creed (who photographed her left breast and made it his computer's desktop wallpaper; Michael at first thinks it's a squid eye, and when he asks how Creed was able to photograph her breast, he replies, "Right place at the right time.") In "The Convict", she dresses her infant son in pink, claiming it's his "favorite color," and is offended when anyone assumes the child is female. In "A Benihana Christmas", Hannah is one of the only employees to attend Angela's Christmas party. Hannah quits her job while Michael is on vacation at Sandals in Jamaica, after complaining of the hostile environment and claiming harassment, making her the third transferred employee from the Stamford branch to quit at Scranton. The character is very similar to Anne from the British series; both are women who have traditionally been presented as likable and friendly on TV shows (Hannah being a new mom, Anne being pregnant), but Hannah and Anne come across as snippy and unlikable. They also only appeared in a few episodes each, with Anne being told off for her nasty attitude, and Hannah quitting under hostile circumstances.

Scranton Regional Manager applicants

In the season 7 finale "Search Committee: Part 2", Jim, Toby and Gabe interview several applicants for the position that had been held by Michael Scott (and briefly filled by Deangelo Vickers). The applicants included Andy, Dwight, Kelly, and Darryl; Nellie Bertram, who was not hired but was later placed in a different position at Sabre; Robert California, who was offered the position and accepted it, only to immediately quit to become CEO of Sabre; and the following others.

• Fred Henry (Will Arnett) is a meteorologist and Navy veteran. While being interviewed, he claims that he has a three-step plan to double profits at the branch; however, it becomes clear that he is merely bluffing. However, in an interview with the camera crew, it is shown that he remains confident that he will be hired for the job (even though he does not even remember the name of the company, erroneously believing it is "Vance Refrigeration" after glancing at the building tenants list). Paul Lieberstein said at the time that Arnett would have been a top choice to really take the role, but he had filmed a pilot that was likely to get picked up by NBC after his appearance was filmed (that pilot was for the television series Up All Night).
• Merv Bronte (Ray Romano) is a sad and somewhat depressed man. When in the lobby, Robert California tries to sabotage him by telling him the office staff act like they are prisoners in a dying industry, leaving Merv to question himself if he even wants the job. While riding in the elevator he has a talking-head interview in which he confides to the cameraman "If I get this job offer, I know I'm gonna take it. And if I take it I know I'm never going to quit, and then 25 years are going to go by and...I'm gonna die here." He sabotages his own interview by acting rude and unpleasant. Confused, Toby asks if they had inadvertently done something to upset him. In another talking-head interview after his job interview, he expresses regret over believing "that weirdo in the lobby" (Robert), saying that the people in the office are the nicest people that he has ever met. He later says he feels like he sabotaged himself because he thinks he's afraid of being happy, and then reveals that he was supposed to start another job on the very day he was interviewed.
• Finger Lakes guy (Jim Carrey) is a nasally voiced and somewhat strange man, who, according to Jim, was one of the top candidates for the job, along with Darryl and Andy. His real name is never revealed, although he is nicknamed "Finger Lakes guy" because he repeatedly mentioned, during his (unseen) interview, that if he is hired, he will need to have his first two weeks off, in order to travel to the Finger Lakes, because, as he reveals to the documentary film crew, he snuck away from his family while vacationing in the Finger Lakes in order to interview for the job, and needs to return soon, as his family will begin to worry about him, because "People disappear in the Finger Lakes."
• David Brent (Ricky Gervais) is a former office manager for Wernham Hogg Paper in Slough, England (as seen in the original UK version of the series). He appears at the beginning of the seventh-season episode "The Seminar", in which he meets Michael Scott outside an elevator, trades racist jokes with him, and asks whether there are any openings at Dunder Mifflin. In "Search Committee", he applies for the Regional Manager position via videoconferencing from the UK.
• Miserly Man (Warren Buffett) is an elderly applicant, who, during his interview, displays a very penny-pinching attitude (which is meant to parody the fact that his portrayer is a billionaire investor) and haggles with the search committee over whether the company would reimburse him for gas costs if he had to do any excessive traveling on business, then cryptically asks if Dunder Mifflin monitors long-distance phone calls.

Family, friends, and loved ones

• Cecelia Marie "CeCe" Halpert (portrayed by Mia Cavolic and twins Baily and Sienna Strull) is Jim and Pam's daughter, in real life named after Jenna Fischer's niece. Pam's pregnancy is discovered in the fifth-season finale "Company Picnic", and she gives birth to CeCe in the sixth-season episode, "The Delivery", on March 4, 2010, after 19 hours of labor. Jim jokingly states that CeCe was conceived in a porta-potty at Burning Man. CeCe makes appearances in several episodes throughout the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth seasons.
• Philip Halpert is Pam and Jim's infant son, named after Pam's grandfather (to Angela's rage, as she wanted Pam to give up the name so she could have it for herself in tribute to her favorite cat). In the eighth-season premiere, Pam is approximately eight months pregnant, and she and Jim reveal to the camera crew that they are expecting a boy. Unlike with his older sister, there was no episode focusing on Philip's birth; it was instead announced on a blog.^[35]

They first appear in "Employee Transfer", in which they have lunch with their brother and his fiancée. However, unbeknownst to Jim, Pam met with them before lunch to clue them in on a prank she would be playing on him, but Tom and Pete instead decided to make fun of her interest in art, as opposed to Pam's idea of losing her engagement ring. During lunch, they make numerous insults towards her art career, causing Jim to come to her defense. After the argument escalates, Tom and Pete reveal it to be a prank, with Pam awkwardly confirming this. Afterward, Jim receives a text message from them welcoming Pam into the family, and Pam suggests they should "prank" Tom about being bald over Thanksgiving. They later reappear in "Niagara", attending Jim and Pam's wedding, for which they (along with Michael and Dwight) organize to have everyone dance down the aisle in the style of the viral video, JK Wedding Entrance Dance.

Upon seeing her, both Michael and Dwight are instantly attracted to her, with Michael commenting that she is like the "Pam 6.0", and Dwight considering her to be the ideal woman. Michael and Dwight each make a move on her; Michael flirts with her aggressively, and Dwight shows interest in purchasing a handbag. However, she ignores their advances, and begins dating Jim,^[36] a relationship that only lasted for a few months. After Pam and Roy decide to set a date for their wedding, a devastated Jim breaks up with Katy in "Booze Cruise", cuando él admite descortésmente que los dos nunca estarán tan profundamente enamorados como Roy y Pam parecen estar al verlos juntos. Junto con Toby, Katy se graduó de Bishop O'Hara High School , donde estaba una animadora . ella bonos con Roy en la bebida crucero, cuando se dan cuenta de que iban a las escuelas secundarias rivales, y se animaron a partidos contra el fútbol equipo de Roy juega en. ^[37] de acuerdo con una pregunta OfficeTally.com y discusión con respuesta BJ Novak, originalmente escribió para que ella apareciera en la película de Michael, Threat Level Midnight , como una " fulana" that Michael's character, Michael Scarn, would have unsatisfying sex with and reflect on how much he missed his late, sexually voracious wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones Scarn. Katy would have then appeared in a subsequent talking-head interview, where she would have expressed embarrassment over the role, but also talk about how she had been interested in pursuing an acting career at the time. The character's reappearance was prevented by Adams' lack of availability.

Pam's family/friends

• Helene Beesly (Shannon Cochran in Season 2, Linda Purl in Seasons 6, 7 and 9) is Pam's mother. Pam gets excited when Helene comes to visit her at work in "Sexual Harassment". Helene appears to get along with Roy very well, but is eager to meet Jim after Pam talked about him in private. In "Stress Relief", it is revealed Helene and Pam's father William are going through a rough patch in their marriage and it eventually ends in divorce after Jim confesses to William his deep and abiding love for Pam, a feeling that William never felt with Helene.

En " The Delivery", Helene comes to visit Pam at the hospital after she gives birth and has an awkward moment with Michael.

Michael later visits her at a playground in "Sex Ed", where he attempts to discuss their past relationship and see if what they had was genuine. She bitterly points out his skewed sense of memory, to which Michael responds by insulting her and then walking off. Helene appears in three more episodes after that: in "Christening, where she is seen in the background attending CeCe's christening; in "The Search", with a voice-only part where she calls Jim on his cell phone to tell him that she unintentionally locked CeCe in her car (with the keys inside it); and in "Threat Level Midnight", where she is briefly seen in Michael's titular homemade film as a slutty nurse (to Pam's obvious discomfort). Helene now spends her days watching Jim and Pam's children while the two are at work. In "Lice" she inadvertently revealed that Pam, not Meredith (as everyone assumed), was responsible for spreading lice to the office after calling Pam at work to inform her that Cece's school had discovered she had lice.

In "A Benihana Christmas," after Michael gave her an inappropriate Christmas card of them (which was actually a family photo with Michael's face superimposed over Carol's ex-husband) she rejects his Christmas gift of two tickets to Jamaica and breaks up with him. In a deleted scene from that episode, Carol responds to Michael's question on the phone of what he did wrong with a very long list of complaints, and when Michael asks what he did right, she hangs up on him. In the seventh season, in the episode "Sex Ed", Michael tells Carol he has herpes. She doesn't think it's herpes, and when Michael asks her if he romanticizes his relationships, she says that is definitely the case. In "Finale," she is revealed to have been showing Jim and Pam's house for the past two months, Pam having put the house up for sale so she and Jim can move to Austin, Texas to pursue Jim's new career as an entrepreneur.
• Donna Newton (Amy Pietz) is the manager of the bar "Sid & Dexter". She first appears in "Happy Hour", where she reprimands Michael for his disruptive behavior in her establishment.

When Michael confronts Donna about this, she reveals that her relationship with Michael is actually an extramarital affair. In the next episode, after hearing of Michael's situation, the office staff tells him that he should break up with her, because she is cheating on her husband, but Michael rejects their pleas. The employees retaliate by showing feelings of disgust toward him for his actions, which causes him to realize the error of his ways, and he officially ends his relationship with Donna, via a text message. In "Sex Ed", after Michael discovers that he may have herpes (but it is simply an ingrown hair, not genital herpes), he contacts all of his past lovers, starting with Donna.

Dwight's family/friends/loved ones

• Mose Schrute (portrayed by writer Michael Schur) is Dwight's cousin, who lives with Dwight at the Schrute family beet farm. In "The Injury", Michael refers to Mose as Dwight's "weirdo cousin" who is "27 years old [and has] never left the beet farm." Mose wears an Amish-esque beard and clothing, and speaks and behaves in a very naive and childlike manner, at times even appearing mentally unstable and very socially awkward. The source of his mental imbalance was somewhat explained in the episode "St. Patrick's Day", when Dwight explains to the camera crew, "I didn't see my father for the first two years of my life. I thought my mother was my father, and my wet nurse was my mother... Turned out fine for me. But Mose, same story... different ending". In "Money", Dwight informs Jim that Mose has had nightmares ever since "the storm". In the same episode, Mose is also shown, in the background, throwing manure at Dwight in the beet fields. Like Dwight, Mose is a skilled table tennis player, as seen at the end of "The Deposition". In "Did I Stutter?", El organigrama de Dwight muestra que Mose (que ni siquiera está empleado en la oficina) está a cargo de Heindl, Shirley, Vater y Mutter." Vater "y" Mutter "significan en alemán" padre "y" madre ", y Heindl y Shirley son el tío y la tía de Mose. En " Jury Duty ", Dwight dice que a Mose nunca le han enseñado qué es el sexo. En " Tallahassee ", Dwight graba un mensaje para su presunto hijo, Phillip Lipton, y afirma que, si muere, Phillip es el heredero legítimo de Schrute Farms, pero le advierte que mate a Mose, antes de que Mose pueda matarlo.

Mose aparece por primera vez en " Iniciación ", en la que participa en los intentos equivocados de Dwight de confundir a Ryan en Schrute Farms. Después de que Ryan se marcha furioso, Dwight intenta presentarle un tallado que hizo Mose, que tiene la forma de la Venus de Willendorf . Más tarde aparece en " Money ", y en el final de la cuarta temporada, " Goodbye, Toby ", en el que ayuda a Dwight a colocar un mapache en el coche de Holly Flax. También aparece en " The Surplus ", y en el frío abierto de " Koi Pond ". En " Consejería ", se le ve pintando la guardería que Dwight planea abrir en el edificio.También aparece en el episodio de la octava temporada "Garden Party", where, in the role as valet, he forcibly takes Toby's keys and parks the car in a field; he is later shown attempting to jump over a row of cars on a motorbike, in the style of Evel Knievel. In the season 8 finale, "Free Family Portrait Studio", he is used as a distraction to get Angela off of Dwight's tail on his way to the hospital to get the DNA testing of her son's feces, in an attempt to prove that he is indeed the father. In the episode "Junior Salesman", Mose is a candidate for the eponymous position, but flees from the building during his interview when Dwight points out a lie on his resumé that Mose used to work at the Dow Chemical Company. In a prior talking-head interview, Dwight talked about how he believed Mose would be a good fit for the job, as he has papyrophobia (fear of paper), which would motivate him to sell as much paper as he could in order to get rid of it. A comment from his mother, Shirley, in "Moving On", implies that, at one point, he had a sexual relationship with a "lady scarecrow".

• Fannie Schrute (Majandra Delfino) is Dwight's younger sister, who appeared in the ninth-season episode "The Farm". Described as an attractive and urban, if somewhat pseudo-intellectual, liberal woman with an ironic sense of humor but a great heart,^[41] Fannie left Schrute farms in favor of a city life in Boston. She is now divorced, and appears to have full custody of her young son, Cameron, as he stated to Dwight that he has never met his father. While she is the only one of her siblings who is fully opposed to running her aunt Shirley's estate (as Jeb flip-flops between wanting to and not), after she sees that Dwight and Cameron have bonded, she agrees to return to home to run the property with her siblings, though both she and Jeb let Dwight take on the responsibility of managing it.
• Jeb Schrute (Thomas Middleditch) is Dwight's ne'er-do-well younger brother. After leaving the army, he traveled to northern California, where he purchased a 9-acre pot farm (albeit unknowingly).

Jeb is first mentioned by his brother in "Dwight Christmas", and appears alongside him via a family photograph from 1982. He made his first live appearance in "The Farm".

• Cameron Whitman (Blake Garrett Rosenthal) is Fannie's son and Dwight's nerdy and slightly weird 9-year-old nephew. While at first, Dwight is more or less disgusted with him and his city slicker ways, the two later bond when he teaches him how to milk a goat. He appeared in the episode "The Farm".
• Ziek Schrute (Matt Jones) is Dwight's cousin and Mose's brother, and the self-appointed comedian of the family (since Dwight was the "cool kid" growing up and Mose was "the visionary"). He first appears in the episode "Junior Salesman", interviewing to be Jim's part-time replacement, and reappears in "The Farm".
• Shirley (Mary Gillis) was Mose's and Zeke's mother and Dwight's aunt, whom he considered to be the closest thing he had to a mom (as his own was very cold and distant, and, ironically, he considered her to be the closest thing he had to an aunt). She makes her first appearance in "Moving On", in which Dwight acquires the help of Angela in order to bathe her. Initially, he wants to merely take his aunt out and spray her with a hose, but Angela talks him into letting her do it in a more dignified manner, and through the process, the two begin to remember their feelings for each other, something that they do not realize they are experiencing mutually until Shirley playfully comments on the chemistry between them. In the subsequent episode, Dwight announces that she has passed on, and, later on, at the funeral, Dwight and his siblings receive a shock when they learn that she willed her estate to them. Their inheritance was to serve as the catalyst for Dwight leaving Dunder Mifflin, in order for Wilson to star in his own spin-off about the character running the farm. Upon review of the episode, however, NBC decided not to pick it up.
• Heinrich Manheim (Tom Bower) is the Schrute siblings' manipulative, avaricious, malevolent, unhinged and very likely Nazi war criminal great uncle, who was to be a major character in Dwight's spin-off "The Farm".^[42] His part was cut from the NBC broadcast of the episode, but he appears in a deleted scene, threatening to kill Dwight unless he relinquishes his inheritance to him, which Dwight fails to take seriously.^[43]
• Henry Bruegger (Allan Havey) is a somewhat stoic neighboring Brussels sprout farmer, who appears in "The Farm", briefly pulling up in his truck to pay his respects at Shirley's funeral. He reappears in the subsequent episode, in which he tries to rope Dwight into co-leasing a tractor with him.
• Esther Bruegger ( Nora Kirkpatrick ) es una de las cinco hijas de Henry, que aparece en " The Farm ". Ella y Dwight se muestran coqueteando en el funeral de Shirley, y más tarde en el episodio, cuando todo el mundo está fuera en el porche, tocando The Decemberists ' Hijos e Hijas , Dwight deja caer un par de cuervos picos a los pies de Esther - señalando su deseo de cortejarla. Siguiendo la tradición, Esther responde aplastando los picos con su bota. Vuelve a aparecer en " Promociones", visiting Dwight at the office with her sisters and father, the latter of whom tries to get Dwight to co-lease a tractor with him. However, she later explains to Dwight that her father really is trying to take advantage of him, and suggests a better deal he should make, affirming that her feelings for him are genuine and that she was not using him, as Clark had believed and warned the fellow Salesman.
• Rolf Ahl (James Urbaniak) is introduced in the season 5 finale "Company Picnic" as Dwight's new best friend. Dwight claims to have met him in a shoe store after having heard him "asking for a shoe that could increase his speed and not leave any tracks". Rolf and Dwight appear to share very similar personalities and interests. However, Rolf is much more outspoken than Dwight and at one point during the volleyball game has to be quieted by Dwight after telling David Wallace and Charles Miner from corporate that "You suckers are goin down! They're gonna wipe their asses with your serves! Piss all over your faces!". Dwight is also not happy when Rolf insults Angela for the second time during the volleyball game, by calling her a whore, and he is told by Dwight to "knock it off", a demand to which he (grudgingly) assents. Rolf is also seen again in the episode "The Delivery", where he helps Dwight remodel Jim and Pam's kitchen. Three seasons later, in "Junior Salesman", he interviews for the titular position. Dwight initially believes he would be perfect for the job, however, it soon becomes evident to him that he is not cut out for the paper business. After all of Dwight's applicants leave the office, angry that not one of them were chosen, Rolf warns Dwight not to open any suspicious packages he will be receiving, before backpedaling and telling him to go right ahead, unconvincingly claiming that they are "totally safe". Rolf later appears in the finale at Dwight's bachelor party alongside Mose and Gabor, showing his feud with Dwight was ultimately short-lived.
• Trevor Bortmen ( Chris Gethard ) es amigo de Dwight. Trabaja como investigador privado autónomo y autónomo y, al igual que Dwight, es un ex alguacil voluntario, después de haber sido despedido de la fuerza por razones desconocidas. Debuta en " The Target", in which Angela hires him to kill Oscar after she finds out about his affair with her husband. While Trevor concedes that her request is "a little crazy", he agrees to the job. However, after Dwight objects to the murder, he convinces Angela to opt for a kneecapping instead. Trevor later arrives at the office, posing as a sandwich delivery man (with the lead pipe he placed in the sandwich being clearly visible), and pursues both Dwight and Oscar after the former rushes the latter out from the building. He manages to ambush the pair outside, but is hesitant once it is time to actually attack Oscar, giving the Accountant the opportunity to take away his weapon, causing Trevor to flee. He later reappears in "Junior Salesman", as one of Dwight's original applicants for the position of being Jim's part-time replacement, however, during his interview, he immediately effaces any confidence Dwight had in him that he would be suitable for the job.
• Melvina Whitaker ^[44] ( Beth Grant ) es la ex niñera de Dwight. Ella debuta en " Dinner Party ", en la que actúa como su cita para que el vendedor asista a la cena solo para parejas que organizan Michael y Jan (aunque él sostiene que su relación es puramente carnal).

• Ira Glicksberg (Lance Krall) is Dwight's karate sensei, who referees a sparring match between Dwight and Michael, in season 2's "The Fight". He makes a reappearance in the ninth season, interviewing for the position of a junior Salesman, in the episode of the same name. According to his resume released by NBC.com, he was at one point in his life so obese that he worked as a sumo wrestler.^[32]
• Gabor Csupczyk (Eric Wareheim) is an old friend of Dwight's who was a classmate of his at Chuck Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. According to Dwight, the whole program was actually a con to shanghai the students into doing menial labor, something which Gabor remains oblivious to, believing normal abilities he possesses to be superpowers (e.g. hearing at night and making dogs understand where he points). In his resume, it mentions that he attended Scranton Community College until he was expelled after an accusation that he was using his "psychic powers" to cheat, and that he is the founder (as well as sole member) of The Mutant Fellowship for The Good of All Man Kind.^[45]
• Wolf von Weyler (Will McCormack) is a mentally disturbed friend of Dwight's, who appears as one of his sponsored applicants in "Junior Salesman".

Angela's family

• Robert Lipton (Jack Coleman), often referred to as "The Senator" by Angela, is a Republican Pennsylvania state senator who resides in Scranton.

At the start of the eighth season, they are now married, and she is pregnant with his child, whom she gives birth to in "Jury Duty".

Lipton is a widower, mentioning in his debut episode that his wife has been deceased for a few years. He is also shown to have a young son. However, despite his previous marriage, it was strongly implied in various episodes that Lipton was actually a closeted homosexual, with Oscar several times pointing this out to the cameras. The episode "Fundraiser" hinted that he had become attracted to Oscar, which is later confirmed in "Free Family Portrait Studio", when he asks him why he did not call him after the event, and heavily alludes to his supposed homosexuality.

The two later begin an affair throughout the ninth season, which Angela discovers in "The Whale", briefly causing a rift between Angela and Oscar. The episode "Vandalism" establishes that she has remained with him, although only as a trophy wife.

When the TV series documentary about the Scranton branch is being publicized, Angela and Oscar realize that the senator will be outed as his and Oscar's affair was also documented. Angela later speaks with the senator, who agrees to hold a press conference, and leaves Angela with the impression that they'll suppress any news of his affair with Oscar. However, the senator comes out of the closet live on the press conference to Angela's shock. The senator publicly thanks Oscar for coming to terms with his sexuality, only to blindside Oscar when it's discovered that the senator is in love with his Chief of Staff. As a result, Angela divorces the senator and ends up in a bad living situation thereafter.

• Phillip Halsted Schrute is Angela's infant son, whom she named after her favorite cat. She gives birth to him in the episode "Jury Duty". However, despite Angela's claim that he was born prematurely, Phillip weighs 9 lb 7 oz (4.3 kg). Angela eventually admits to Oscar that she is lying about the date of conception, as Phillip was conceived out of wedlock. After Dwight is informed of this information, he privately confronts Angela that it is highly probable that he is Phillip's biological father, as he and Angela had sex around the time Phillip was conceived. In "Tallahassee", Dwight reveals that, after he dies, Phillip will inherit Schrute Farms. In the season eight finale, Dwight steals one of Phillip's soiled diapersy lo lleva a un hospital para hacerle la prueba de ADN , para saber si es el padre del niño. En el estreno de la novena temporada, " New Guys ", se revela que no lo es.

Cuando el senador sale del armario, él y Angela se divorcian, lo que llevó a Angela y Philip a mudarse a un Apartamento de estudio. En AARM , cuando Dwight cuida a Phillip, comienza a tener sospechas una vez más, sin embargo, Angela lo niega. Sin embargo, cuando Dwight le propone matrimonio a Angela al final del episodio, se revela que Dwight es de hecho el padre de Phillip, como lo confirmó Angela.
• Bandit, formerly named "Garbage" by Mose (due to the animal's habit of eating garbage), is one of Angela's cats. He first appears in "Dunder Mifflin Infinity", where, after Dwight captures the feral animal from his barn, he presents him to Angela, in an attempt to make up for mercy-killing her cat, Sprinkles. However, Angela declines the gift, and Dwight gets rid of Bandit by releasing him into Bob Vance's office. Andy later captures the cat in the Warehouse, in the episode "Money", and gives him to Angela, which, this time, she accepts. Bandit later reappears in "Stress Relief", when Dwight sets the office on fire, and Angela grabs the cat (who was sleeping in a desk drawer) and yells to Oscar, who is climbing in the ceiling, to save her pet. Unfortunately, when she throws him up to Oscar, Oscar fails to catch him, and Bandit falls through the ceiling. While it was unknown if Bandit had survived the fall, he is later confirmed to be alive, when he makes a cameo in "Two Weeks", chewing on a copier cord. He makes another cameo in "The Delivery", when Jim, proving to the camera crew that he can put a diaper on anything, does so to Bandit, angering Angela. In the ninth-season episode Paper Airplanes, it is implied that Bandit died sometime between them, as she has a cat named Bandit 2.

Angela's sister, "Rachel," also makes an appearance in the finale for Angela's bachelorette party.

Varios años después, reaparecen en el episodio " Garden Party ", donde asisten a la fiesta en el jardín de Andy. at Schrute Farms, along with Walter, Jr. After Andy becomes frustrated with his father and brother, Walter confronts Andy about his "obnoxious attitude", which he turns into a browbeating, as he tells Andy to stop seeking his approval, because he is not impressed that he is the "manager of some rinky dink branch". During "Angry Andy", Andy calls his father and tells him of Nellie Bertram stealing his job. It is implied that Walter refers to the job as a demotion to Andy, who is visibly defensive. However, shortly after this, Andy has an anger outburst, and picks the phone and finally stands up to his father, yelling "Dad, go to hell, I'm taller than you!" before hanging up on him. In the ninth season, Walter, Sr. bankrupts his family when he takes all of their money and flees to Argentina with his mistress, which forces Andy to sell many of the family's heirlooms so that Ellen can support herself.

However, he does seem to treat Andy with more respect than their parents do. In "After Hours", Andy mentions that his brother has gotten a boat. He returns in the episode "The Boat", where he has since become an alcoholic after his father took all of the family's money and left them in shambles.

So much so, that they gave Andy a Bernard family ring for him to use to propose to her with (although, Ellen took out the main diamond, as she felt it would be better suited for Walter, Jr.). Later, Andy brings Jessica to CEO Robert California's pool party at his mansion.^[48] In a deleted scene from that episode, she tells the camera crew that she and her brother were the "chicken fight champions" of their swimming club, and reveals that she grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut.^[49] She has a cameo in the episode "Special Project", where she and Andy are seen happily carpooling together, and in "Tallahassee", she calls him after quitting time at the office.

In "Get the Girl", Andy drives down to Florida to win Erin back, and the two rekindle their former relationship. The aftermath of this is addressed in the subsequent episode, "Welcome Party", in which Erin and Andy travel to Jessica's family's log cabin in order for him to break up with Jessica, but they are surprised to encounter Jessica and her friends having a bachelorette party. To make the break up less awkward, Andy initially tells Jessica that he is gay, but he later returns with Erin and tells the party that he and Erin are together, despite his earlier claim to Jessica that Erin was not "relationship material."^[50]

While Irene initially treats Andy with disdain, after Erin informs him that she does not love him and will not be coming with him, Irene privately tells Erin that she is making a mistake, and that she should go with him. Erin is surprised at this, since Irene acted so coldly to him, but she tells Erin that she was merely trying to protect her, and that she now realizes that Andy is a decent guy.^[21]

A subtle recurring gag is that, despite her age, Irene has been shown to be fairly intelligent when it comes to electronics, a trait that her grandson, Glenn, also seems to possess.

George Howard Skub, nicknamed "The Scranton Strangler" by the media, is a serial killer who, as his moniker would suggest, strangles his victims. Although never seen on-screen, he has been referred to several times, starting with the sixth season episode "The Delivery", in which a newspaper headline reads "The Scranton Strangler Strikes Again". In a deleted scene from "Happy Hour", Michael tries to impersonate the Scranton Strangler to impress Pam's friend. In "Body Language", Dwight talks to Kelly about the best possible move to fight the Scranton Strangler. In the seventh season episode "Costume Contest", Dwight dresses like the Strangler for Halloween. In the opening of "Viewing Party", the office staff are watching a live broadcast of a police chase of the Scranton Strangler, and they get excited when the cars pass by on the road in front of the office building. In "Classy Christmas", Toby is chosen as a juror for the Scranton Strangler's trial, which forces him to take a leave of absence and results in Holly Flax being appointed his temporary replacement. In "Michael's Last Dundies", Toby states that the man he helped convict as the Scranton Strangler has been sentenced to the death penalty, but that Toby is starting to have second thoughts about whether or not the man was actually guilty. The Strangler is not mentioned again until the ninth season Christmas episode "Dwight Christmas", in which Toby reveals the name of the convicted murderer, whom he still believes to be innocent. A few episodes later, however, in "Moving On", after Nellie tells Toby to either do something about it or stop talking, he goes to see Skub in prison, and is nearly strangled, finally putting to rest the mystery of whether the right man was convicted.

The documentary film crew

The documentary film crew is a camera crew that has been filming the lives of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch employees since the beginning of the series. Their presence has been met with widely different reactions and levels of comfort from the people they film, although, over the course of the series, the staff has gradually grown to accept the crew's presence as a part of their environment.

The crew often intrudes on the personal lives of the office workers, such as filming at social or private events, and have been known to take rather extreme measures in order to capture footage, sometimes secretly filming the employees, even if they tell the crew that they do not want to be on camera. While they mainly observe the action around them, the camera operators have, on occasion, intervened, such as when Pam asks one to alert her if they see any indications to suggest that Dwight and Angela are in a relationship, which the camera operator does,^[80] or when the crew shows Jim and Pam recent footage of the two kissing, in order to elicit an explanation from them.^[81] However, they have also done the exact opposite, even in critical situations, such as when Dwight tricks his co-workers into believing that the building is on fire, and the crew neglects to inform everyone that it is just a "safety drill" (even though it results in a massive panic, and a member of the crew even gets trampled by the staff).^[82]

While they remain mostly unseen, the crew members have appeared in the background from time to time, most noticeably in the episodes "Health Care", "Office Olympics", "The Fire", "The Fight", "The Secret", "Branch Wars","Survivor Man", and "Customer Survey". The ninth-season premiere marked the first time the audience has heard one of them speak, as when Pam and Jim finish their interview outlining their summer, Pam brings up the crew's lengthy stay at the office, asking the cameraman "Don't you guys have everything? I mean, it's just a paper company", to which the interviewer (voiced by David Rogers) responde "Bueno, los seguimos más a ustedes, para ver cómo les va".

Durante una sesión de preguntas y respuestas de Writer's Block en 2007 en The Office Convention, los escritores sugirieron medio en broma que la razón original por la que el equipo de cámara filmaba las vidas del personal era ver cómo la sucursal de Dunder Mifflin Scranton manejó el suicidio de un compañero de trabajo ( ese empleado es Tom Peets), pero el equipo cambió su enfoque al darse cuenta de que los eventos diarios en la oficina harían un documental más cautivador. ^[83]

Brian

Brian ( Chris Diamantopoulos ) era el operador de boom del equipo de filmación. Él (presumiblemente) ha estado con ellos desde que comenzaron a filmar, pero no fue visto hasta el episodio " Customer Loyalty ", en el que consuela a una Pam llorosa después de una pelea con Jim, ordenando que se apaguen las cámaras mientras lo hace. En el episodio posterior , Pam le pide disculpas, ya que sus acciones hicieron que sus superiores lo reprendieran, aunque él le dice que no se sienta culpable por ello. En " Vandalismo", Brian is fired from the documentary after breaking protocol and intervening by hitting the Warehouse worker Frank across the face with his mic when it appears that he is going to physically assault Pam. Shortly after his termination, he tells Pam that, should she ever need anything, to just let him know, leaving her grateful, but confused. In "Couples Discount", the Halperts plan to have lunch with Brian and his wife, Alyssa, to thank him for protecting Pam from Frank. When they arrive, they are surprised to be meeting only with Brian, who reveals that he is getting a divorce. He reveals that he and his wife had been fighting for a while, but they realized it was over for them when they finally stopped. Tension is then created between Jim and Pam when the latter's emotional breakdown from a few weeks back is revealed to the former after Brian begins to get misty-eyed and Pam comforts him, leading to him to joke about the two having to stop tearing up in front of one another. In "Promos", Pam visits Brian at his apartment, and tells him that upon seeing the old footage she thinks Jim's feelings for her have largely faded, and Brian agrees. When she asks about what the crew filmed, he tells her that every important moment was captured even when not wearing their microphones. Realizing the extent to which their privacy has been violated, Pam storms out of Brian's house. On re-watching the promo, Pam decides she is glad that the history of her relationship with Jim has been captured.
