Who is Dwight Schrute in The Office (US)?

Assistant to the Regional Manager · Sales & Reception

Dwight Schrute (Assistant to the Regional Manager) is a character in The Office (US), part of Sales & Reception. Dwight K. Schrute is Dunder Mifflin's top salesman, a beet farmer, a volunteer sheriff's deputy, and the office's self-appointed line of defence against bears, raccoons and federal regulation. He pursues the title 'Assistant Regional Manager' — versus the actual 'Assistant to the' — with the devotion other men reserve for religion, enforces rules nobody made, and is the perfect mark for Jim's pranks because his commitment to everything is total. Underneath: a man of genuine, weaponisable competence, waiting decades for the office to need a survivalist.
