Minor Characters
Series One and Two
Lee
Jennifer Taylor-Clark
Chris Finch
Gordon
Ben
Unfortunate Ben is remembered for being forcibly undressed by the workers of Wernham Hogg on Red Nose Day. Ben pleads with his workers, saying "My wife and kids will see them!". His genitals are censored on film. Ben also joined in singing with David Brent and Gareth Keenan on a rendition of "Manamana".
Karen Roper
Karen is seen applying for a job as a P.A to David Brent, whose interview technique is non-existent. Brent gives her the job due to her attractiveness, no doubt hoping to woo her during work hours.
Jamie
Jamie works at Wernham Hogg and he and his bald head can be seen a few times in The Office, most notably as part of a conversation with David Brent, where Brent is seen trying to hand Jamie his phone number. Jamie is not interested and takes a phone call at one point during the conversation and informs his colleagues of it in another. Brent gives up.
Rowan
Rowan is seen trying to conduct a training day for the workers of Wernham Hogg, although his monologues are marred by the presence of David Brent, who interrupts Rowan and adds his own take on Rowan's advice. Rowan takes this calmly at first, but gradually gets more annoyed, eventually storming out of the room, never to return.
Sheila
Also known as "Mouse", possibly due to her timid nature, Sheila expresses a preference for black men and can be seen crying when Wernham Hogg's black man Oliver is seen cuddling up to Trudy.
Emma
Has a line or two.
Ralph

Ricky Howard
A university graduate, Ricky is temping at Wernham Hogg and his knowledge of Fyodor Dostoyevsky proves a contentious point to David Brent, who attempts to counter with his own knowledge.
