This is a list of characters from The Office (US). Template:Spoiler
Main characters
Michael Scott
Michael Gary Scott — played by Steve Carell — is an ostentatious and nonsensical Regional Manager. Michael believes he is the office leader, entertainer and friend. In actuality, he has no clue that most times he displays inappropriate behavior, uses offensive awkward humor (such as his recurring catchphrase, '"that's what she said") and often appears pathetic. He takes great pains to seem like a nonchalant and carefree boss who is both young and hip, but also an industry veteran who worked his way up under former manager, the late Ed Truck without requiring business school training. Because of his gregarious personality and awkward attempts at humor, most members of the office prefer to avoid him, and some — particularly the warehouse workers — are overtly hostile toward him. Michael has proven to be a good-hearted, though selfish and lonely man. Michael has occasionally shown flashes of business competence, including breaking a previous Staples, Inc. stronghold to broker a deal to distribute Hammermill paper products.
Dwight Schrute
Dwight Kurt Schrute — played by Rainn Wilson — is a pretentious, megalomaniacal, socially awkward Assistant (to the) Regional Manager and honorary branch Security Advisor. He has a severe superiority complex, and insisted his job title made him the de facto "Assistant Regional Manager", even before being given that title. Dwight craves authority, and relishes any minor task that he is given that allows him to give orders to the other employees; he often assumes authority even when it is not handed to him. Dwight lives on and operates a beet farm with his cousin Mose and drives a Pontiac Firebird. Dwight enjoys paintball, has a purple belt in karate and is as dedicated to his sensei as he is to Michael to whom he commonly sucks up despite his boss's common degrading comments. At the same time, Dwight believes himself better equipped than anyone in the office for many duties. Though he secretly dates Angela, he shows her no special treatment. Dwight frequently falls victim to practical jokes orchestrated by Jim and Pam.
Jim Halpert
Jim Halpert — played by John Krasinski — is a mild-mannered, friendly Sales Representative in his mid-twenties who is competent and productive, but has no real loyalty to the company, as he considers the job a stepping stone in his career. Jim has on occasion confided in Michael about his romantic feelings for Pam, but finally concluded Pam would marry Roy, and decided to take a promotion and transfer to Dunder-Mifflin Stamford after working at the Scranton branch flirting with Pam and devising elaborate pranks for his co-worker and deskmate Dwight. Jim has rallied his coworkers for an office olympics competition, and invited them to a party at his house. He is a proficient basketball player, but is a rookie at the PC first-person shooter video game Call of Duty.
Pam Beesly
Pamela Beesly — played by Jenna Fischer — is the discreet and friendly office Receptionist who tolerates her boss's awkward attempts at humor, and often repeats his words back to him, exposing his inadvertent unprofessionalism. She also protects Michael from his own bad habit for starting phone calls with bad puns by not transferring calls right way, giving Michael a "practice run" to get the joke out of his system. Pam had been engaged to warehouse worker Roy for three years and they planned to marry on June 10, 2006. Days before the wedding though, Pam broke off the engagement. Pam enjoyed former co-worker Jim's attention, and together they brainstormed malicious pranks to play on Dwight. Rumors of Jim and Pam's flirtations circulated through the office at times. After having feared the prospect of winning another "World's Longest Engagement" award, Pam was relieved to win the "Whitest Sneakers" award at the 8th annual Dundie Awards. In addition to her responsibilities as Dunder Mifflin's receptionist, Pam is also a (reluctant) member of the office party-planning committee.
Ryan Howard
Ryan Howard — played by B.J. Novak — is a competent, quiet, young Sales Representative who started as a temp and is usually a step ahead of his co-workers. He attends business school at night, and arguably knows more about business than his boss. He feels quite uncomfortable around many of his co-workers, but unwittingly began a relationship with Kelly Kapour, when the pair hooked up on the eve of Valentine's Day. Michael, who stated in a game of "Who'd You Do?" that he would have sex with Ryan because he is going to own his own business, appears to have a "man-crush" on Ryan and named him "Hottest in the Office" at the 8th Annual Dundie Awards. Try as he might to avoid doing so, Ryan often finds himself being assigned such tasks as being Todd Packer's designated driver and retrieving childhood videotapes from Michael's mother's house.
Accounting department
Angela Martin
Angela Martin — played by Angela Kinsey — Accounting Supervisor. A judgemental, devout Christian, Angela is head of the accounting department and a safety officer. Though she is a constant source of complaints to Human Resources, she redacted those lodged against Dwight, who calls her "monkey", at the onset of their secret romance. She had a bobble-head doll made in Schrute's likeness as a Valentine's Day gift, and received a key to his house in return. Angela secretly followed Dwight to the office supply convention in Philadelphia under the name Jane Doe. Angela lives with several cats, displays posters of infants posed as adults, is a vegetarian and singer, loves Harry Connick Jr. and believes green a "whorish" color. She clashes with Phyllis on the party-planning committee, and was shocked when Phyllis bluntly told her: "I don't like you." Angela bottles up her emotions to the point that on occasion she has private, emotional outbursts over relatively trivial matters. Angela refused to accept the "Tight Ass" award at the 8th Annual Dundie Awards. Angela hinted she has a crush on Roy and admitted she would choose Roy over Jim if pressed on the matter.
Oscar Martinez
Oscar Martinez — played by Oscar Nuñez — Accountant. Oscar is an American-born Latino of Mexican descent, whose parents emigrated from their home country. He plays a paper football game dubbed "Hateball" with Kevin whenever Michael isn't around and keeps a two-year running total of their scores. Oscar enjoys ice skating, likes the office thermostat to be set to a chilly 66 degrees, and claims to be more offended by kitschy posters featuring infants posed as blues musicians than by hardcore pornography. Oscar is gay and lives with his partner, Gil. The pair are currently in Europe on a three-month vacation on Dunder-Mifflin's tab, consideration for his agreement to forbear from suing the company after Michael publicly outed Oscar in the season three premiere. He won the "Show Me The Money" award at the 7th Annual Dundie Awards.
Kevin Malone
Kevin Malone — played by Brian Baumgartner — Accountant. Kevin is bald, overweight, and seems to have just two facial expressions: a scowl or an impish grin. He is typically quite subdued with his humorous hangdog face. A Detroit Pistons fan, Kevin has shown a talent for basketball, paper football and the office game "Hateball," and "How Many M&M's Can You Put In Your Mouth?" His favorite number is known to be 69 in reference to the the sexual position. Kevin is engaged to a woman named Stacy, who has a daughter named Abby. Kevin plays drums and is also the lead singer in a local tribute band. The group initially was a Steve Miller Band tribute, but recently refocused on the music of The Police, and rebranded accordingly as "Scrantonicity," a homage to Synchronicity. Kevin won the "Don't Go In There After Me" award at the 8th Annual Dundie Awards. In 2002, Kevin won the $2,500 No Limit Deuce to Seven Draw Tournament at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. According to Jim and Pam, his favorite movie is American Pie 2, and his favorite lunch food is Cup Noodles. Recently, Kevin underwent tests for skin cancer; the results were negative.
Other office employees
Stanley Hudson
Stanley Hudson — played by Leslie David Baker — Sales Representative. Hudson is a serious, hardworking employee, who dislikes Dunder-Mifflin and believes he is underpaid. He believes his bed to be too small and his daughter's school is too expensive. Stanley only thinly attempts to hide his disgust and disrespect for Michael, who tends to make inadvertently offensive remarks to Stanley based on racial stereotypes, such as expecting Stanley to be a good basketball player. Stanley generally prefers working on crossword puzzles during the various staff meetings rather than giving his undivided attention to Michael. He prefers that coworkers ask before using his condiments, looks forward year-round to the office park's free pretzel day and has two toasters at home following Pam's called-off wedding. He has two children, one known to be his child from a previous marriage. His daughter, Melissa, developed a crush on Ryan during Take Your Daughter to Work Day, leading Stanley to yell at Ryan. He won the "Great Work" award at the 7th Annual Dundie Awards, and didn't know what to make of the "Fine Work" award he won the following year. While very serious, even Stanley does come around such as in the Office Olympics, when he becomes a participant, despite telling Jim earlier that his office game is "Work real hard so my kids can go to college." When generally bored and unhappy (particularly involving Michael), Stanely simply props his elbows on a table and rests his face between his hands to protest his boredom.
One of the few things that seems to put a genuine smile on Stanley's face is the office's yearly pretzel day.
Phyllis Lapin
Phyllis Lapin — played by Phyllis Smith — Sales Representative. Phyllis is an introvert motherly type often mistaken as older than her age. She is often insulted and embarrassed by former classmate Michael and is the target of many of his crude jokes. She loves "girl talk" and gossip and believes herself to closer to her co-workers than she really is. Phyllis serves on the party planning committee where she often butts heads with hypercritical Angela. She suffered from scoliosis as a child and went on to play high school basketball. She is engaged to Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration, a relationship that pulled her from the depths of extreme depression and suicidal thoughts. She won the "Busiest Beaver" award at the 8th Annual Dundie Awards, although, due to an error, her statue lamentably read "Bushiest Beaver". Phyllis admitted if she could sleep with one person in the office, it would be Jim. Phyllis also shocked the room during a "sexual harassment" seminar, by asking if one-night stands are included in a rule requiring reporting office romances to human resources.
Meredith Palmer
Meredith Palmer — played by Kate Flannery — Purchasing/Supplier Relations. Meredith is a twice-divorced, quiet, red-haired woman and an alcoholic who doesn't like the office lights on in the morning. When drunk, she has a tendency to come on very strong to men around her. Palmer joined Alcoholics Anonymous in the second season. Her divorces and her hysterectomy both have been mocked by Michael. Meredith drives a Ford Aerostar minivan and has custody of her son, Jake, with a history of troublemaking, while her ex-husband has custody of their good daughter Wendy[1]. She is allergic to dairy products. She was once caught eating Angela's waterless hand sanitizer. She won the "Grace Under Fire" award at the 7th Annual Dundie Awards. Michael made the entire office throw a month-early birthday party for Meredith in the first season in hopes of relieving the stress from downsizing rumors. She has also made a new years' resolution for 2006 that she would stay away from alcohol "during the week."
Kelly Kapoor
Kelly Kapoor — played by Mindy Kaling (a scriptwriter for the show) — Customer Service Representative. Kelly is bubbly and somewhat immature. She likes to engage in small talk, often about topics that a teenager might discuss. Kelly seems also to have the capacity to play dumb, as evidenced in a wink to camera in Boys and Girls. She is involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Ryan, and drops hints (of varying subtlety) that she wants to marry him and have his children as soon as possible. Kelly had a sister who passed away. She won the "Spicy Curry" award at the 8th Annual Dundie Awards. The award was not Michael's first acknowledgement of her Indian heritage; he spoke to her in a stereotypical Indian accent during a Diversity Day activity and was slapped for it. She dressed up as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz on Halloween, which prompted Michael to say "Interesting take on Dorothy" and included Michael suggesting that she wear a soccer uniform and dress like Jess Bhamra, a character of Indian descent in Bend it like Beckham.
Creed Bratton
Creed Bratton — played by Creed Bratton (parodying himself) — Quality Assurance. A taciturn quality assurance representative, Creed lives in Toronto, spending three nights a week there in order to milk the welfare state. The remainder of the week he sleeps in his cubicle.
Creed is older than all of the other employees and was originally hired by Dunder Mifflin in the late 1980s, when Ed Truck was still regional manager. Creed spent time in an iron lung as a teenager, was a member of The Grass Roots, and once toured with Cream and Janis Joplin. Following his rock career, he had his own radio show in the 1970s as DJ Wacky Weed Creed. He has concentration problems due to his drug use during his rock career and is unfamiliar with many of his coworkers. Creed has four toes on his right foot and enjoys arcade-style shooting games. He lost his toe because his parents bound his feet as a young child. He speaks semi-fluent Chinese and has friends in Hong Kong. He can identify strains of cannabis in high-resolution photographs and snacks on nutritious, fragrant mung bean sprouts he keeps stashed in his desk on a damp paper towel, though he admits "they smell like death." He casually admits a passion for stealing without a care. Creed once saved his job by convincing Michael to fire Devon instead.
Warehouse employees
Roy Anderson
Roy Anderson — played by David Denman — Dock Worker. Roy was Pam's fiancé until she broke off the engagement. During their long engagement, Roy, on more than one occasion, had seen Jim flirting with Pam. He claimed not to mind, as he liked how Pam was less talkative after having spent time with Jim. He took Pam to a minor league hockey game for their first date and brought his brother along, then left the game without her. He is often bored and does not like company get togethers, particularly when there's no open bar, and is seen on more than one occasion leaving office parties early. In "The Fire" he stated that he would "do" Angela while playing "Who'd You Do". He vehemently refused to let Pam apply to a company training program that could have advanced her talents as an artist, and is generally regarded as a boorish, inconsiderate, ill-mannered lout with a minimal sense of humor. Roy drives a dark colored Dodge Ram pickup truck, and spent a sizeable portion of his wedding money on two jet skis[2]. Roy selected Scrantonicity to perform at his wedding reception. After Pam ended their engagement, Roy stopped taking care of himself, started drinking, and was eventually arrested for driving under the influence. Now recovered, he intends to win Pam back, regretting how he took her for granted and wanting to make it up to her.
Darryl Philbin
Darryl Philbin — played by Craig Robinson — Warehouse Supervisor. Darryl is the Warehouse supervisor. Michael refers to him as "Mista Rogers," a nickname with an interesting evolution. It began as Regis (as Darryl's last name is Philbin), then Reeg, Roger, and finally Mista Rogers. Darryl once attempted to organize the warehouse workers into a union, but his efforts were quickly stamped out by Jan. Being in a position of responsibility in a potentially hazardous work area, he dislikes Michael's disregard for rules or safety, who often disrupts their work schedule and delays their shipments from going out on time. He is usually forced into Michael's scheduling of events in the warehouse, such as a "Men's Day" workgroup session, and a "Casino Night" mock-casino. As a subtle prank and possible retort to Michael's antics, Darryl taught Michael false slang words, such as "goin' mach five" and "dinkin' flicka," although Michael is still unaware that such slang does not exist. In addition, Darryl taught Michael a ridiculous handshake that Michael believes to be "ghetto," when in fact he looks nerdy in doing so. Darryl seems to be the only character on the show who calls Michael "Mike." Michael is secretly wary of Darryl and called on Dwight to be his bodyguard when Darryl asked if he could borrow his Santa hat.
Lonny
Lonny — played by Patrice Oneal — Dock Worker. Lonny joins his friend Darryl in open displays of irritation and intimidation toward Michael. He became a vocal supporter of Darryl in trying to establish a union, citing the low pay they receive in comparison to the office employees. He is known most notably for yelling at Michael for destroying the entire warehouse. "Damnit, Michael!"
Madge
Madge — played by Karly Rothenberg — Dock Worker. Madge is a female German warehouse employee who played against the office team during the basketball game. When Michael led the male office workers into the warehouse for some "guy time," Madge excused herself from the proceedings.
Phillip
Phillip is a Dock Worker.
Lester
Lester is a Dock Worker.
Corporate employees
Jan Levinson
Jan Levinson — played by Melora Hardin — Corporate Manager. Jan is Michael's superior at corporate. A very driven, successful woman, Jan's managerial style is a complete clash to Michael's laid back business style. Jan is usually reprimanding Michael for failing to perform, violating company policy or trying to flirt with her. Jan generally gets more respect from the office than Michael does. Her marriage ended in divorce due partially to Jan's desire for children, a dream not shared by her ex-husband. Prior to that she went by the name Jan Levinson-Gould, but dropped Gould because of the divorce. In the pilot episode, Michael referred to her as Hillary Rodham Clinton (converting the joke from the British Office when David Brent refers to Jan's equivalent character as Camilla Parker Bowles). She once had a drunken fling with Michael after a business meeting, and immediately regretted it, going as far as to accuse him of slipping something in her drink. According to Michael's reports, they "made out" and then she fell asleep on his shoulder. Afterward she was forced to reject multiple advances by Michael, but in a moment of weakness on Valentine's Day, passionately kissed him at the corporate headquarters because she was overcome by Michael's sense of generosity. Her relationship with Michael may prove that "opposites attract" as it seems that although many things about Michael repulse and infuriate her, she is still drawn to him. In "Casino Night" it is strongly hinted that she had intended to spend the night with Michael, but is forced to drive back to New York after discovering that Michael has also asked Carol to the event. Since then, her actions as Michael's boss have come under scrutiny from the Scranton employees, who have accused her in interviews of taking her anger out on Michael, and possibly the branch. In a deleted scene from "The Convention" seen on NBC.com, she invites Stamford manager Josh Porter to a hotel room to review reports and have a quick drink shortly after Michael tells her that they cannot fall back into a relationship, hinting at either feelings for Josh or a desire to make Michael jealous.
Toby Flenderson
Toby Flenderson — played by Paul Lieberstein — HR Representative. A Bishop O'Hara High School alumnus, Toby drives a Subaru Impreza WRX wagon, has a young daughter named Sasha who adores Michael, and went to Amsterdam for an undetermined amount of time after his divorce. Toby joins the others occasionally to conduct business, such as reviewing the company's sexual harassment policy and mediating conflict between employees. Toby prefers to let angry employees vent to him, after which they feel better and the conflict eventually settles down and solves itself. Using the excuse that he was allergic to something near his desk, Toby moved locations to escape Kelly's constant talking. Toby is generally a friend of everyone around the office except Michael, who views Toby as his sworn enemy. As Michael sneers, "Toby is in HR (Human Resources), which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family." He avoids office activities whenever possible and, like the rest of the staff, only tolerates Michael. After discovering Pam was dating again, Toby attempted several times to ask her out, but could never work up the courage.
Todd Packer
Todd F. Packer — played by David Koechner — Traveling Sales Manager. Todd is an obnoxious traveling sales representative who is good friends with Michael (who lists Packer as his emergency contact) and tells obscene, disrespectful jokes that offend everyone. Michael, however, isn't bothered by the jokes; instead, he refuses to stop Packer and joins in on the insults. Michael refers to Todd and himself as "BFF" (Best Friends Forever), and they have been friends for many years, ever since Michael's days as a sales rep in the Scranton branch before he was promoted. The two also share company gossip, highlighting one conversation involving a manager sleeping with his secretary, whom Packer refers to as "blonde incompetent". A dedicated prankster, Packer once deposited in Michael's office a highly odorous substance which was never revealed to viewers. Due to a DUI, Packer cannot drive his red Chevrolet Corvette convertible, which sports a Pennsylvania license plate reading "WL HUNG".
Stamford Branch
Josh Porter
Josh Porter — played by Charles Esten — Stamford, Connecticut Regional Manager. Introduced in the "Valentine's Day" episode, Porter is the Regional Manager of the Stamford, Connecticut branch. A colleague of Michael's and seemingly a more responsible and competent boss, his presentation to the new CFO of Dunder Mifflin was professional in comparison to Michael's and was the only branch that was shown to have a growth in clients. Jim now works for him in Stamford. In the deleted scenes of "The Convention" (as shown on NBC.com), it is strongly suggested that Jan wishes to make Michael jealous by using Josh, after inviting him upstairs to look over tomorrow's schedule and have a quick drink. With Josh having gained knowledge about Jan and Michael's fling, he does everything to avoid it at all costs. He thinks Jan and Michael's hook-up is awkward and "kind of gross". Josh's character is very loosely based on Neil Godwin, the Swindon office branch manager in the Office UK series.
Andy
Andy — played by Ed Helms — Stamford, Connecticut employee. Somewhat slow-witted Andy sits in front of Jim and he gives him advice on women in the office. An alumnus of Cornell University, Andy brags he never studied, got drunk every night, and still graduated in four years. A fan of The Cardigans' "Lovefool", Andy was a member of the fictional a cappella group "Here Comes Treble," to which he pays homage with his screen name in Call of Duty, a game at which he is ferociously competitive. When pranked by "Big Tuna", as he calls Jim, Andy flies into a rage. He has once said to Jim that he would "kill [him] for real" during a planning session for Call of Duty.
Karen Filippelli
Karen Filippelli — played by Rashida Jones — Stamford, Connecticut employee. Karen works with Jim, Andy, and Josh in the Stamford branch. She was annoyed by Jim's trademark mugging at the camera, but now has a slight crush on him. While playing Call of Duty, she noted in a whisper to the camera of how "cute" it is when his character is caught stuck in a corner, and later created a small explosion of paper clips when Jim pretends to throw a grenade at her. She is bilingual and enjoys both first-person shooter PC games and Herr's salt and vinegar potato chips.
Other
Katy
Katy — played by Amy Adams — attractive hand-bag saleswoman that stops by the office. Dwight considers her to be his ideal woman. Both Michael and Dwight make a move on her: Michael by flirting aggressively and Dwight by showing interest in purchasing a handbag. However, she ignores their advances and later dates Jim for a short time. She and Jim break up in the "Booze Cruise" episode. She is a graduate of Bishop O'Hara High School, where she was a cheerleader.
Devon
Devon — played by Devon Abner — office worker. An office employee who sat across from Creed (who is directly responsible for getting Devon fired, to save his own job). Devon was reluctantly laid off by Michael on Halloween, and took it badly. In a bid to salvage their "friendship", Michael offered Devon free Chili's gift certificates which Devon ripped up in Michael's face. While storming out, Devon invited "Kevin, Jim, Pam, Kelly, Toby, Oscar, Meredith, Phyllis, Stanley, or the temp," to drinks, leaving out Angela, Dwight, Michael, and Creed. This implies he was never friendly with Angela and Dwight. Devon then smashed a pumpkin on Michael's car in sad retaliation. The episode marked his only dialogue in front of the camera. When Michael later receives a Christmas bonus due to Dunder Mifflin saving money through downsizing, he considers calling Devon about it, to say "some good came of it."
He was also warned by Dwight in The Dundies to keep his speech short. On the first season DVD, a deleted scene from the episode Diversity Day shows Devon with a "West Nile" sign on his forehead, as he escapes the seminar for a smoke. On the second season DVD, a deleted scene from the episode Valentine's Day shows Michael walking down the street, only to have a pedestrian begin to chase after him, yelling at Michael as he chases him. In the following scene, Michael reveals that it was Devon chasing him.
Carole Stills
Carole Stills — played by Nancy Walls (wife of actor Steve Carell). Stills is Michael's real estate agent. She has two children. Michael entertained her kids at an ice-skating rink and she was Michael's date to the casino night. In a deleted scene, it is revealed that since Casino Night, Michael has been seeing her over the three months in between the second and third seasons [3].
Bob Vance
Bob Vance — played by Robert R. Shafer. Phyllis Lapin's fiancé and owner of Vance Refrigeration, a neighboring tenant in the office park. Introduces himself always as "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration". On Valentine's Day, he sent a number of gifts to Phyllis at the office, each card signed with his tagline. He also supplied a mini-fridge as a "Casino Night" prize. He called Stanley and Michael "a couple of Marys" once in frustration.
Billy Merchant
Billy Merchant — played by Marcus A. York, — property manager of the office park in which Dunder Mifflin Scranton's office is located. Billy has used a wheelchair since the age of 4. He is invited to the office to speak about being disabled after Michael burns his foot in a Foreman grill. Billy attends Casino Night with his girlfriend, a Chili's waitress, whom Michael mistakes for his nurse. Billy also shares his last name with original series co-creator Stephen Merchant.
Stacy
Stacy — played by Trish Gates. Stacy is Kevin's fiancée. She has a daughter named Abby, whom Kevin brought to the office during Take Your Daughter To Work day.
Brenda
Brenda — played by Brenda Withers. From corporate, Brenda joins the Scranton crew on the Booze Cruise to supervise Michael and observe his presentation on company priorities. After breaking up with Katy, Jim makes a feeble attempt at asking Brenda out over the phone. It is speculated that she is Jim's date when he has to decline Abby's (Kevin's fiancee's daughter) dinner invitation. In a deleted scene from Drug Testing, Brenda calls the office, asking for Jim, but since he is under Pam's jinx, he doesn't answer.
Hank
Hank — Hank is the security guard featured in the last 5 minutes of "Drug Testing". He inducts Dwight as the official head of security for the branch, and Dwight responds by saying "I've always felt that the security here sucked". He tells Dwight that he will not be able to use a gun nor a bo staff in his new position.
Ed Truck
Ed Truck — played by Ken Howard. Ed was Michael's boss when he first started working at Dunder-Mifflin. He also hired Creed and Phyllis. Appearently, Ed was not a fun boss and Michael vowed to not become him. In "The Carpet", Michael briefly meets with him; he tells Michael that he should have his employees be his employees instead of his friends. In "Grief Counseling," Michael learns of Ed's death when it's mentioned by Jan over the phone. Later, Creed reveals Ed's death in detail saying that he was decapitated after driving down Route 6 while intoxicated, and sliding his vehicle beneath an 18-wheeler. Overcome with grief Michael proposes a realistic robotic statue of Ed complete with glowing eyes and mobile arms.
