[edit] Season 1:
Oscar is Mexican-American, son of parents born in Mexico. Quote from Oscar: "I'm an accountant at a failing paper company in Scranton."
[edit] Season 2:
After some hints that he might be gay, we find out he indeed is when Dwight spies on Oscar's house to see if his sick day is legitimate, and he sees Oscar arrive home from shopping with a man (his boyfriend Gil). Later, in Oscar's living room, all three watch TV on the sofa with Dwight in the middle while Oscar and Gil hold hands behind Dwight's back. Dwight apparently has no idea what's going on with Oscar.
Oscar plays "Hate Ball" with Kevin.
He seems to have developed a friendly relationship with Creed ("Christmas Party," "The Carpet").
[edit] Season 3:
Oscar and Gil went on a three-month vacation to Europe on Dunder Mifflin's tab after Michael accidently outed him and, in an attempt to make Oscar feel better and show the rest of the employees that he was not homophobic, kissed Oscar in front of everyone in the conference room.
[edit] Season 4
Oscar speaks Spanish fluently, using it in Night Out to explain to the Spanish-speaking cleaning crew that the office staff had locked themselves in and out of.
[edit] Trivia
- Oscar actually told Michael that he was gay during his job interview. This caused Michael to laugh uncontrollably and hired him on the spot. (Interestingly, there are allusions to Oscar being straight in "The Fire" and "The Client.")
- Oscar joined the Party Planning Committee to help plan his own "Welcome Back" party.
- Oscar is a member of the exclusive "Finer Things Club". He feels that, besides having sex with men, the Finer Things Club is the gayest thing about him.
