Todd Packer

Todd Packer is a supporting antagonist from the American version of The Office. He is portrayed by David Koechner.

Rolie in the series
For a majority of the series, Packer is the travelling salesman for the Dunder-Mifflin Scranton branch. Packer is rarelly seen at the Scranton branch, but he will occasionally visit to cause mischief. Prior to becoming a travelling salesman, Packer worked as a salesman in Scranton, sitting next to Michael Scott, occupying the desk most often inhabited by Dwight Schrute.

Unlike many, if not all, of the Scranton employees, Packer has no redeeming qualities to his eccentricity. He is very vile, often seen as a bullying, sexist, misogynistic, womanizing, homophobic character, with zero regard for who he hurts.

Packer is shown to be the best friend of protagonist Michael Scott, who describes him as his "BFF". However, the friendship is often very one-sided, as Packer often treats Michael merely as a lackey, or even a victim, in his schemes. It does, however, seem like Michael is the one person Packer has a genuine likeness for, as he does try to offer Michael legitimate help, and even stars in his movie.

With the exception of Michael, and sometimes Kevin Malone, Packer is despised by everyone in the office. Jim Halpert has a particular dislike of him, as Packer often targets him for homophobic jokes.

Appearances
Packer appears in a voice cameo in the first episode of series, Pilot, calling Michael when he is in a meeting with coroporate employee Jan Levinson-Gould. Michael refers to Packer as a "great rep" and is allowed to take the call, but he instantly regrets it when Packer calls Michael a "big queen" and makes suggestive remarks about Jan. Michael hangs up and calls Packers a "horrible person".

Packer makes his first physical appearance in the Season Two episode Sexual Harrasment.

In The Carpet, Michael is forced out of his office thanks a mysterious and extremely foul-smelling substance left on the floor. After stewing about the incident all day, even claiming he is the victim of a "hate crime", Packer calls about "the package" he left on the floor of his office, causing Michael to forget all about his anger and claim it was "done out of love". The contents of the "package" are never revealed, but are highly implied to be Packer's own feces.
