The Office Character Guide
Darryl Philbin is a fictional character from the U.S. television series The Office, played by Craig Robinson. Darryl is the foreman at the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company Warehouse. He has a young daughter named Jada who is incredibly important to him.
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. Unlike Michael, Darryl is competent, ambitious, and innovative, and on several occasions late into the series, he promotes ideas to corporate that seem to benefit the company greatly.
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.
Darryl is divorced and for a short time, he dated Kelly Kapoor. Kelly broke up with him via text to go back to Ryan, and Darryl was relieved to be out of the relationship as he was shown almost dancing to his car afterward. As is also evidenced from numerous episodes such as "Christmas Party" and "Local Ad", Darryl is also very adept at playing the keyboard and singing.
