Darryl Philbin

Darryl Mathias Philbin is a fictional character from the US television series The Office, played by Craig Robinson. 2Overview Darryl Philbin is the foreman of the warehouse of the Scranton branch of fictitious paper distributor Dunder Mifflin. His closest counterpart in the British series is Glynn (nicknamed Taffy), although they do not have the same personalities. 2Biography Although he is dry and humorless when dealing with Michael Scott, the office manager, he seems to be a much more relaxed, silly person in social situations.

Michael refers to him as "Mittah Rogers"—a nickname which began as "Regis" (as Darryl's last name is Philbin, a reference to Regis Philbin who is producer Michael Schur's father-in-law), then "Reeg", "Roger" and then finally settling on "Mittah Rogers". In contrast with this, Darryl almost always calls Michael "Mike" instead of Michael (although he will call him by his full name when he becomes frustrated or annoyed with Michael's immaturity). Being in a position of responsibility in a potentially hazardous work area, he dislikes Michael's disregard for rules or safety, as Michael often disrupts their work schedule and delays their shipments from going out on time. His relationship with Michael is tense, as he is often aggravated by Michael's juvenile antics, as when he stated his greatest fear is that someone would prevent them from getting the shipments out on time. His rapport with the rest of the staff both in the office and warehouse is friendl
