Actor

The Resume

    (September 29, 1971- )
    Birth name is Paul Crook
    Appeared in 'The Gathering (2002),' 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003),' 'Sex Lives of the Potato Men (2004),' 'Churchill: The Hollywood Years (2004)' and 'The Brothers Grimm (2004)'
    Starred in the TV series 'Comedy Café' as Charlie Cheese, 'TV to Go' as various characters and 'The Office' as Gareth Keenan

Why he might be annoying:

    He had planned a career in graphic design but failed to get into art college.
    He wanted to be an actor but didn't want to attend drama school, so he took the 'back door' into the industry by performing stand-up for 8 years until he was discovered.
    Due to filming commitments for 'The Office,' he had to sport the nerdy Gareth bowl-haircut during his wedding in 2001.
    Because of his role in 'The Office,' he often gets cast as drug-addicts, weirdos, perverts and ghosts.
    He was the frontman for a (obviously unsuccessful) heavy metal band for a short time.
    He idolizes Kurt Cobain.
    He is a Star Wars figurine collector and does not remove them from their packaging.

Why he might not be annoying:

    On the harsh British stand-up comedy circuit, he not only survived, but was well received by critics and audiences alike.
    He lived on a pittance while performing stand-up comedy, but stuck it out and successfully made the transition to acting as he had hoped for.
    He has not suffered the fate of being famous for only 'The Office' and has in fact had the most success out of all the people involved in it since.
    He makes no mistake about how his career has been formed and admits that 'The Office' made him.
    He is an Arsenal fan.
