Ryan Bailey Howard (born March 5, 1979) is a fictional character played by B.J. Novak in the television series The Office.

Biography

Little is known about Ryan's early life, but it is revealed in a deleted scene from "Diversity Day" that Ryan grew up in Scranton. At the beginning of the series, Ryan Howard is a temporary employee at the Scranton branch of the fictitious paper distributor Dunder Mifflin who joined the staff in the first episode, earning him the nickname "The Temp".

In early episodes, he is shown to be uncomfortable with his professional relationship with his boss, Michael Scott. Michael often forces Ryan to carry out menial tasks for him while at the same time, becoming obsessed with Ryan's personal life as well as gaining Ryan's friendship, to the point of buying him an iPod for Christmas.

As the series progresses, Ryan begins to display a great deal of contempt and disdain for both his coworkers and his job. This becomes more apparent when Ryan is promoted in "The Job" to work at Dunder Mifflin's corporate office in New York. This leads to Ryan becoming an egotistical braggart despite lackluster sales skills. At various times during season 4 coworkers of Ryan's mention their disdain for him. In the season 4 finale "Goodbye, Toby", Ryan is arrested for committing fraud. He is eventually released and required to work community service.

In the season 5 premiere, Ryan returns to the Scranton branch after Michael arranges for him to work Pam's job during her time at art school. However, his malevolent aspirations to climb back to the top of the corporate ladder are revealed in a talking head, when he adds Jim and Kevin to a list of people who "will be sorry" when he returns to the top. He was also called out (implicitly) when Holly Flax said that his fraudulent behavior was the reason the Scranton office needed to undergo ethics counseling.

Ryan was a member of a fraternity in college and holds an MBA from the University of Scranton's Kania School of Management, which he earned during the second and third seasons. His dream is to one day own his own business, which Michael quickly derided as "a terrible idea."

Season 1

When Ryan is first introduced to the office, Michael immediately takes a liking to him.("Pilot") It develops into a man-crush, though Ryan quickly realizes how tactless and absent-minded his boss is. He is nicknamed "Temp", and, as a running joke, is almost always called such by Dwight, even after he becomes a full time employee.

In "Diversity Day" he seems to create a friendship with Jim which holds up for the first 3 seasons of the show. However in season 4 Ryan and Jim are no longer friends.

In "Basketball" it is shown that he is a pretty good basketball player.

Ryan isn't part of any major storyline. The large bag Ryan holds up during the opening credits contains his basketball clothes for the game against the warehouse guys. ("Basketball")

Season 2

Ryan is still a temp and Michael seems to have developed a man crush on him. In "The Dundies", Michael names him 'The Hottest in the Office' and spanks him as he accepts the award. In 'The Fire' when playing "who would you do?" Michael names Ryan. As well, in "The Dundies", Michael is talking to Jan about seeing if there is enough money in the budget to throw a Dundie party, she says that Michael had thrown a birthday party on May 5 for a woman who's birthday wasn't for another month. She is talking about Meredith in "The Alliance", and Ryan's actual birthday was on the day of the party.

Ryan begins attending business school at night, identified in a fictitious press release as the Kania School of Management at the University of Scranton.

Ryan's goal in attending business school is to escape Dunder Mifflin and someday run a business of his own. He tries not to get involved in the goings-on at Dunder Mifflin Scranton, viewing his stint there as a temporary stop and not as a career. During Spring Cleaning (The Secret), Ryan notes that he could clean out his desk in five seconds and nobody would know he was ever there. "And I'd forget too."

Ryan inadvertently started the fire in the episode The Fire, leading to the nickname "Fire Guy" which would follow him for years.

Ryan winds up in a relationship with Kelly Kapoor against his better judgment. He would like to get out of it but for reasons unknown even to him he can't bring himself to put an end to it.

Season 3

Most of Ryan’s shyness has diminished and he's a little more assertive. Ryan is now a junior sales rep and seems to be happy about the idea of the Scranton Branch closing since he now has an excuse to end his relationship with Kelly, and he is confident that Michael will write a letter of recommendation on his behalf to be one of the employees retained and transferred to Stamford. However, the Scranton branch stays open, and Ryan and Kelly's relationship drags on. The relationship eventually ends however, when Ryan is promoted to Corporate Manager (replacing Jan Levenson), making the former temp Michael's boss.

As a sales representative, Ryan tries eagerly to develop his sales skills but fails miserably at every opportunity. In Initiation, the client reportedly said that he did not like Ryan to his face. In Traveling Salesmen, Ryan is unable to say anything beyond "Hi."

In "Grief Couseling" Ryan kind of picks up Jim's role of being the office funny man by telling Michael during he grief couseling session, as part of a prank with Pam, that he had a cousin named Mufasa who was trampled by a herd of wildebeasts. It is shown that Pam is very pleased Ryan's actions. He later tells the camera when he finds out about the bird funeral that Michael is making the office attend that when he was 5 and he had a funeral for his fish he thought that he was a little old for it.

In "Initiation" Ryan goes on a sales call with Dwight despite his better instict. At the beginning of the episode Dwight is shown trying to fool Ryan with a riddle but Ryan answers all of them correctly. Ryan also appears slightly worried about going on a sales call with Dwight. Ryan is very angry when Dwight takes him to his beet farm and tries to initiate him. We find out that Ryan was in a frat in college. Ryan goes along with most of what Dwight asks him to do until Dwight tells him to wrestle his cousin, Mose, and get in a coffin. Ryan then puts his foot down. He then finds out that Dwight forgot about the sales call. They rush to the sale and while we do not see it we know it does not go well. When leaving the building Ryan says "They did not like me" and Dwight responds "They did not but they didnt have to say it to your face". Ryan then throws eggs at the sales office exciting Dwight. Back at the office we see that Kelly is worried about Ryan because he has been gone for so long. Ryan and Dwight then go to a bar where Ryan chugs a drink with ease. Dwight starts to chant "Temp, Temp, Temp" and then stops and chants "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan" symbolizing a friendship being born. However this friendship seems to be short lived and we never see Dwight and Ryan interact as friends again in the series. Except for jim's reign as co-manager when they both conspired together against Jim.

Season 4

Ryan is now Vice President of Regional Sales and Michael's direct superior. He has overseen a bottom-to-top streamlining of the entire company to help compete with other businesses. Among these is a new website called Dunder Mifflin Infinity.

File:Rianlolkattgh.jpg

Ryan is trying to be a "fun boss", as shown when he arrives to Scranton and energetically says "Hey, everyone! What's happening? How's my favorite branch doing?"

Ryan speaks in business cliches, talking about "convergence," "viral marketing" and "takin' it to the streets." He also uses other business platitudes, like responding to suggestions with empty phrases like "I can tell you thought about this a lot" and "That is a great observation."

Ryan is enamored of his new life in New York City, bragging about late night clubbing, meeting beautiful women, and getting a sandwich at 2am. He has let his meteoric rise go to his head, having bought a fancy sports car and fallen into cocaine use. Belying his attempt to maintain a hip facade, Ryan's apartment is a tiny unkempt studio. In the episode "Dunder Mifflin Infinity", he unsucessfully tries to flirt and ask out Pam. When Pam replies that she's dating Jim, he is is humiliated and slightly taken aback. Jim later says in a talking head interview, "Well, I guess he (Ryan) can't get ANY girl he wants."

Ryan's business efforts have met with disaster. The social networking section of Dunder Mifflin Infinity has been infiltrated by sexual predators, and the online paper sales are such a disappointment that he made the Scranton staff come to work on a Saturday to falsify data, entering their own sales into the computer system as an accounting trick to make the Web site appear more successful than it really is.

Ryan sees Jim as his rival and in the episode "Did I Stutter?" actively takes steps to discredit him with the intent of possibly firing him. However, his attempts backfire and Ryan is eventually arrested for fraud. Template:4x24

Season 5

After getting arrested and promptly fired, Michael brings back Ryan and gives him his old job as a temp. Ryan pledges to climb back up the ladder and attempts to make amends with the co-workers who he alienated when he was at Corporate.("Weight Loss")

Ryan convinces Kelly to dump Darryl (which Darryl accepts quite easily) and gets back together with her (in "Business Trip") . This doesn't last long as Ryan suddenly announces his intentions to take a break and go to Thailand.

Ryan reappears in the episode "The Dream Team" , with bleached hair, working at a bowling alley. Michael convinces Ryan to join him and Pam at the Michael Scott Paper Company. Right before quitting, Ryan steals a pair of the rental bowling shoes, presumably to "stick it to the man". Initially, Pam and Ryan bicker back and forth when the Michael Scott Paper Company begins, but the situation gets better when the company begins to make sales and take clients away from Dunder Mifflin.

Ryan developed the financial model behind the Michael Scott Paper Company, according to which the company would be profitable with sufficient volume. A visit to a financial consultant in Broke exposes Ryan's model as flawed, not taking into account that expenses will increase as the company grows. As Michael, Pam, and Ryan ponder their future, Ryan admits that he went to Fort Lauderdale and not Thailand. Michael manages to negotiate a deal that would end the Michael Scott Paper Company and return Dunder Mifflin's clients (Dunder Mifflin unaware that their new rival is broke) and in return give Michael and Pam their jobs back. Ryan is also brought back as a Salesman.

After a tense feud amongst the Sales Team, Ryan loses his job as a Salesman and is instantly hired back as a temp again.

Season 6

Ryan is once again a temp and seems to be in an on-off relationship with Kelly once again and works in the annex with her and Toby.

In the episode "Gossip", after Jim announces that Pam is pregnant, Ryan yells out, "Don't get it vaccinated."

In the episode "The Meeting", he tells Pam that he will go to her wedding.

In the episode "The Promotion", Ryan tells Pam that she could either have one-hundred dollars now or five-thousand dollars later as a wedding gift. After great resistance, Pam takes the five-thousand dollars that Ryan claims he will have in one year's time. Pam reluctantly gives Ryan money to put towards a basketball betting scheme as part of the deal, because Ryan claims to be able to determine the winner of any NCAA basketballl game using an algorithm.

In the episode "Niagara", Ryan comes to Pam and Jim's wedding and is seen dancing with Kelly at an office party in Andy's room. Later in the same episode, he questions Jim and Pam after they left for a while to be married on the "Maid of the Mist" in Niagara Falls.

In the episode "The Lover", after Pam says sarcastically that Michael should be allowed to date everyone's mom, Ryan yells to her, "That's my mom you're talking about."

In the episode "Double Date", Ryan seemed to be getting into photography and showed Erin pictures that he took, telling her about how he takes pictures of places where beauty is unlikely. He then shows her a nude picture of Kelly working at her desk in the annex, and Ryan tells her that he is working on a photography series called "Exposure in the Workplace."

In the episode, "Shareholder Meeting", a lazy Ryan is disciplined by Jim. When Ryan refuses to do any work, Jim puts him in a closet, and Ryan regrets and apologizes to Jim, but Jim still puts him in the closet while the office watches.

In "Scott's Tots", Ryan joins Dwight in his plan to overthrow Jim.

In "Secret Santa", Ryan gets Toby for Secret Santa, and is pinned down by Michael, who wants Ryan to sit on his lap.

In this season, Ryan appears to dress in a different style or theme of clothing in each episode.

Season 7

In "Nepotism", Ryan advertises his website WUPHF in the Lip Dub the Scranton Branch was making. In "Counseling", he helps Dwight avenge the shopkeeper who snubbed him at the mall by declaring, "America is one big mall!" In "Andy's Play", he shows off his iPad to Kelly, when Kelly becomes bored in the play. In "The Sting", he helps Jim and Dwight spy on Danny. When they try to hatch a plan, Jim tells Ryan he is a "hot new executive" and Ryan tells them he wants to work at Google.

In "Costume Contest" he dresses as Justin Bieber in hopes to win the Scranton book of savings worth $15,000 in

savings. At the end, when Oscar wins the costume contest, Ryan reveals that he himself voted for Oscar, and declares himself to be a Nader kind of guy (i.e., one who votes for unlikely candidates).

In "Christening" he makes fun of the Youth Group pastor, only for Michael to tell him to shut up.

In "WUPHF.com", he tries to get people to invest in his company. When he reveals he will be broke in 9 days, Kelly comes in and announces that WUPHF was her idea, as she was frustrated by Ryan's lack of communication and she wished she could be like a little dog barking "Woof, woof" so he couldn't ignore her. Then Ryan tells them that he has an offer from the Washington University Public Health Fund, only for Darryl to realize that they are only interested because of the domain name. Ryan tries to weasel more money from Michael, but is caught by surprise when Michael tells all the other investors that while he won't agree to divest their WUPHF holdings (they need Michael's assent because he holds more than 50% of the shares) he does think Ryan is shallow and a bad friend, and Ryan looks horrified when Michael says he has those 9 days and no more time to make things right. At the end of the episode, Ryan tells everybody he has sold WUPHF.com.

Ryan shows more immoral traits in "Garage Sale", when he sells jars of his mother's homemade Pesto sauce, and tells the camera that his mother has never wanted to sell her sauce, as she intended it to just be for family. Ryan, however, tricked her into making about a hundred bottles worth (by lying about needing them for a "pesto-party" he was throwing for all his friends), and is now selling the jars for his own profits, as well as plastering pictures of Phyllis and Oscar on the jars without their permission (since Phyllis had that "mom look" he wanted, and he used Oscar's picture on his Mother's homemade jars of Salsa). Dwight then cons Ryan into giving him a box worth of the Pesto by trading him Stanley's old photo album (by commenting that only people like James Franco would want something like that sitting on their bookshelf). However, Ryan is also in the group that helps Michael think of a good way to propose to Holly. When Michael does propose to Holly, he has some employees jokingly ask Holly to marry them. He states that Ryan was the only one he was concerned about.

In "Training Day", Ryan thinks that new manager Deangelo Vickers having a barber come to the office to shave him is "badass" and "hardcore". In "Michael's Last Dundies", he is shown to be hurt that Danny Cordray broke his streak of winning the "Hottest in the Office" award, although he tries to hide it. Ryan's contribution to the office workers' version of "Seaoson of Love" is that Michael helped him get off drugs.

In "Goodbye, Michael", Michael gives Ryan his St. Pauli Girl beer sign, but only after making sure he isn't prone to seizures. Ryan seems to genuinely appreciate the gift, and he thanks Michael, only for the regional manager to tell him to thank the St. Pauli Girl. In producer's cut of the episode, Ryan has a talking head interview where he claims that Michael has an interesting way of saying words.

In "The Inner Circle", Ryan lies to Deangelo about his job at the Scranton Branch by strongly implying he's the Customer Service supervisor (Kelly's boss). While Kelly is angry, she goes along with it in exchange for Ryan being a dutiful boyfriend around the clock. However, Kelly soon exposes Ryan as a fraud after reprimanding her severely about her paycheck and making her out as a money grubber in front of Deangelo. However, because Deangelo prefers Ryan over Kelly, he appoints him as her official supervisor (until his accident hours later).

In "Dwight K. Schrute, (Acting) Manager", after Dwight accidentally misfires a gun in the office and Toby is filling out the gun violence accident form, the HR rep asks the staff if they felt like this was a terrorist incident. Ryan, who is clearly enjoying Dwight's situation, openly says that he felt terrorized.

In "Search Committee", Ryan reveals to the camera that he, like Oscar and Pam, also believes Angela's boyfriend Robert (the State Senator) is gay, because he "liked" Ryan's facebook photos at 3:00 AM. Later, when Stanley harshly berates Jim for not taking the search for a new manager seriously and informs him that the new boss will probably be his last, Ryan comments in mock seriousness that he believes Stanley will live forever. After Stanley leaves the kitchen, Ryan gives Jim the advice to take a day off from the whole "Jim schtick" and to try caring about something for once. He even adresses him as "James", before closing the door to his office/closet. During a staff debate over who should be hired for the manager position, Ryan states he wants an outsider. While Jim thinks he is referring to the applicants outside of the office, Ryan says he meant an "outsider" as someone who is on the margins of society, and suggests a homeless person. When Pam challenges him to say he truly wants a homeless person as his boss, he asks who her ideal canidate would be, snidely suggesting Rachel Ray or "the ladies of The View". In a talking-head interview, Ryan laments that he got away with everything while Michael was his boss and it was not good for him. He says he wants guidance and leadership, but does not want the new manager to boss him around. He states he wants the new hire to lead him, but only when he's in the mood "to be led". Ryan also tells Gabe to "take care" when Gabe announces to the office that he's been reassigned to Sabre headquarters in Florida.

Season 8

In "The List", Ryan is on the "Losers" of new CEO Robert California's list.

In "Garden Party", Ryan makes a toast to "the troops... all the troops... both sides".

In "Spooked", he dresses up as Jesse Pinkman, a character from the popular AMC drama "Breaking Bad." He is briefly seen telling Kelly about the show.

In "Pam's Replacement", he asks Jim if Pam's replacment, Kathy, is single.

In "Gettysburg", he decides to stay at the office while Andy and some of the other employees are at Gettysburg. He tries to impress Robert California with some ideas for the company, but is outshined by Kevin .

In "Mrs. California", Ryan tells Susan California and his co-worckers his 'Dream for a Wish' idea. Susan refers to him as Brian, and in a talking head interview he calls her a b*tch.

In "Christmas Wishes" Ryan and Kelly give a pregnant Angela a shirt that reads 'Ask, then touch.' He is also seen dancing with Kelly a number of times during this episode.

In "Welcome Party" Darryl reveals that Ryan's nickname in the warehouse was "Douchebag". An annoyed Ryan tells him that its not a code name but an insult.

Trivia

  • Even though he is credited as part of the Main Cast, he has been absent for over 15 episodes.
  • Ryan shares his name with Ryan Howard, first baseman of the Philadelphia Phillies. The similarity was intentional, as at the time, the baseball player was a slugging first baseman for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons, the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate at the time. The character Ryan Howard tries to exploit this coincidence in the episode Night Out, telling the club bouncer, "Check again. Ryan Howard, the baseball player." - though the two look absolutely nothing alike (Howard is 6'4", 255 lbs. and African-American, Novak is short, thin and Jewish); this also might not be a wise name-drop in New York, given the fierce rivalry between the Phillies and the New York Mets.
  • In the episode Christmas Party, Ryan was a member of the Party Planning Committee. He has not been a member since except in a deleted scene from Take Your Daughter to Work Day.
  • Ryan considers Scranton his hometown. (Launch Party)
  • In Night Out it is implied that Ryan has taken to using cocaine. This is evidenced by his hyper-activity, drastic personality change(he was glad to see Michael and Dwight), frequent use of the washroom and twitching fingers. Additionally, his co-worker Troy, when leaving the club, tells Dwight and Michael not to take Ryan to the hospital. At his apartment, Ryan asks Michael and Dwight what he should do if one of his friends has a drug problem. This is again referenced in the episode Did I Stutter?, when Ryan arrives at the Scranton Branch, he checks his nose in his car's make-up mirror.
  • B.J. Novak notes that it is the incompetent people who use the most jargon. Ryan as an executive "is so far over his head, and he wears it so poorly." Novak concedes that he personally acts the most like a jerk when he's not confident, and he brings that trait to Ryan.
  • Ryan returns in Weight Loss, and explains he helps the community. He writes down a "list" of people who he now hates, such as Jim and Kevin.
  • In Diwali it is implied that Kelly's sisters think Ryan looks like Zach Braff.
  • One of Ryan's quotes in the beginning of The Fire was, "I don't want to be 'a guy' here. Like Stanley's the crossword-puzzle guy, and Angela has cats. I don't want to have a thing here. You know, I don't want to be the 'something' guy." As it turns out later in the episode, he had started the fire in the office building, and is now named the "Fire Guy" by Dwight and Kevin.
  • Ryan's birthday is also the same day that Michael holds Merdith's birthday party in The Alliance. Though, the date of the party or his birthday are never stated.
  • Ryan has asked out 2 out of 3 of Jim's girlfriend's. He asks both Pam (during Dunder Mifflin Infinity) and Karen (by E-mail, mentioned in Women's Appreciation - though in Dunder Mifflin Infinity he tells Kelly that she asked him out), as well as when Jim breaks up with Katy, Ryan asks if he could call her.("Email Surveillance")

    • In the episode "Business School", Michael tells the class, "Ryan has never made a sale."
