On The Office, Creed was an extra. He didn't have a speaking role at first. He was just supposed to be someone in the background. The original plan was that they would have two of these people and then Michael would fire one of them. They wanted to actually see both actors in the background before that episode as a cool little easter egg for the fans. As the firing episode grew closer, the director walked up to Mindy and Creed and said "I think we need a line of dialog here" and Creed immediately responded "I'll do it." Mindy shot him a look because hes not supposed to talk but didn't say anything to the director. They shot it and it ended up in the episode. This is the reason why Creed never got fired.
