Ryan Bailey Howard is the main antagonist of NBC's American adaptation of The Office.
He is an arrogant temp worker that frequently antagonizes and manipulates his co-workers. Ryan later founded Dunder Mifflin Infinity during the fourth season, but was arrested for fraud and fired from his job, although Michael later rehired him. Despite returning to work as a regular employee, Ryan is still shown to be rude and indifferent to his coworkers at Dunder Mifflin, but he still has his redeeming qualities to compensate him for his mistakes.
He was portrayed by B.J. Novak, who also played Alistair Smythe in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
