Biography[]
Deangelo was to be the regional Manager of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton Branch to replace long-time manager Michael Scott. Deangelo and Michael hosted the Dundies at Louie Volpes, and Deangelo later sang Michael's Goodbye Song with the rest of the branch. Deangelo became the Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin Scranton when Michael departed Scranton and Dunder Mifflin for good. At Michael's going away party, Deangelo attacks the cake and the office realizes that he is going to be hard to work with.
Deangelo is officially Regional Manager. He considers himself to be a professional juggler, even though he juggles invisible juggling balls; he juggles to the song Bring Me to Life by Evanescence. The entire office believe Deangelo to be extremely childish and incapable to be a manager. The only employees that are impressed with his "juggling skills" are Erin, Kevin, Gabe and Creed.
As Regional Manager, he sets up an Inner Circle of his favorite employees which includes Kevin Malone, Darryl Philbin, Gabe Lewis, Jim Halpert (temporary) and Andy Bernard (temporary). After playing Nerf basketball with the Inner Circle, Jim challenged Deangelo to a free-throw line dunk in which Deangelo accepts. However, after dunking, the hoop collapses on him, and he is sent to the hospital. He later reappears in the office dressed in a hospital smock while speaking gibberish. He was sent back to the hospital and is never seen again.
In the producer's cut of "Search Committee", Jo lists all the former managers, mentioning Deangelo as "the second idiot to dunk himself to death!" Deangelo was mentioned by Darryl saying that he's dead, but Andy corrects him saying he's not dead, just his brain. Deangelo's true fate remains a mystery.
Trivia[]
- Many fans of the show deemed Deangelo Vickers as one of the worst characters on the show, believing that he was not a fitting choice for the show's style, as well as having a widely inconsistent personality between episodes. During a part of the episode "Michael's Last Dundies" where the employees sing a farewell song to Michael Scott before he leaves the show, Deangelo interrupts the song with his own vocalizations. Many fans also believed that Deangelo ruined a very memorable and sentimental part of the episode.
