Michael Scott is the regional manager of the Scranton branch of a paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin. He has no sense of social awareness, has few friends, and is quite lonely. He thinks of himself as an office comedian, but his attempts at humor prove to be unfunny at best and are often inappropriate, and sometimes offensive or unwittingly mean. Despite all this, however, he ultimately means well. The character develops from a trying hard and annoying to a sweet person and we gradually commiserate.Michael Scott's B-day is March 15, which he makes a point to point out that it is the same as Eva Longoria's. He is of English, Irish, German, Scottish ancestry, and claims to be 2/15 Native American Indian. While on the road he likes to sing along to Tom Cochrane's Life Is A Highway.
