The role expanded and RYan actually taking on Neil Godwins role from the UK Office The increased role can be related to the fact that the actor who portrays Ryan, BJ Novak, is a writer on the show. In the British series Tim Canterbury and Ricky have a small friendship, in the US Series however there is a definate rivallry, sprouting from the fact that Jim Halpert is dating Pam and Karen when Ricky asks them on a date.
