Michael Scott

"Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."

Michael Gary Scott (born March 15, 1964, in Scranton, Pennsylvania), played by Steve Carell, is a former branch manager of the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Michael Scott Paper Company Inc., and later Dunder Mifflin Sabre.

Michael served as branch manager in two stints, the first of which spanned from the pilot episode to the Season 5 episode Two Weeks Micheal Scott Paper Company Inc when he chose to form the eponymous Michael Scott Paper Company. Scott returned to the branch manager position in the episode Broke and, for a period in Season 6, shared co-managerial duties with Jim Halpert. Michael eventually resumed his position as sole branch manager following Dunder Mifflin's merger with Sabre and remained in the position until his move to Colorado in the Season 7 episode Goodbye, Michael, marking his last appearance in the manager role. Given Scott's lengthy tenure as branch manager and central nature are much of the show's contents, he is considered the most influential character in the series. He returns at Dwight's wedding to be the bestest mensch and to expose Toby for the satan spawn that he is.
