Michael Scott

Michael Scott is a fictitious character in NBC's The Office, played by Steve Carell. The protagonist of the series is Michael, who works as the regional manager of the Dunder Mifflin Inc. store in Scranton, Pennsylvania. However, he temporarily leaves the company near the end of the fifth season to form his own paper company with Pam Beesly and Ryan Howard, and he shares a co-managerial position with Jim Halpert during a sixth season arc from "The Meeting" through "The Manager and the Salesman". In "Goodbye, Michael", he proposes to HR representative Holly Flax and leaves to Colorado to care for her aging parents, giving Deangelo Vickers the manager post. Michael's last appearance is in the finale where he is a surprise guest at Dwight’s wedding.

Michael's joking about and treating professional colleagues as personal friends is frequently improper in the workplace. When combined with his broad understanding of the paper sector, it is surprisingly beneficial for signing clients. Carell's performance gained great critical acclaim, and he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series six times in a row, as well as earning a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Television Series (Musical or Comedy) in 2006.
