Creed Bratton, he sits in a desk in the corner of the Dunder Mifflin office branch and maintains quality assurance inspections. He is a mysterious man, who often hints that there is more to him than meets the eye. From having four toes to a simple love of mung beans, Creed proves to be a lovable character.
But really, who is Creed Bratton?
1. He is William Charles Schneider.
Creed explains that whenever he falls into debt or feels that law enforcement is onto him, he transfers his troubles to the identity of William Charles Schneider. But how does he manage to get away with that?
Fun fact: Actor Creed Bratton's real name is William Charles Schneider.
2. He was a member of a rock band in the 60's.
Creed? A rockstar? You bet. He has identified himself as being apart of the 60's rock band "The Grass Roots". He has also implied that his memory and brain function are impaired due to his heavy drug use at the time.
Yet another fun fact: Actor Creed Bratton was actually a member of The Grass Roots.
3. He has a blog.
Ever wonder what Creed thinks in a day? Look no further. Creed writes his own blog www.creedthoughts.gov.www\creedthoughts. However, Ryan revealed that it is just a Microsoft Word document that he set up to make Creed believe that he actually has a blog for his thoughts. He then explains that this was done to "protect the world from Creed's brain." Wait, protect us from what?
4. He once had his own radio show.
Creed reveals to his fellow coworker Oscar that he was once the host of his own radio show in the 1970's. He worked under the name "DJ Wacky Weed Creed." Who else would kill to listen in on one episode of his show?
5. He writes plays.
A personal favorite. Creed mentioned that he enjoyed the presence of silence in the office because it allows him to work on his copious amounts of plays.
Imagine all of the theatrical genius that is being sheltered from the world?
6. His retirement plans include scuba diving.
Creed was unhinged when his boss, Michael, started a rumor in the office about him having asthma. He then revealed to the camera that he had plans of scuba diving once he retires. He famously mentions that if he is not able to scuba dive, then he is basically working towards nothing.
7. He has a daughter.
While his co-workers Jim and Pam are engaged, Creed tells Jim that he wants to set him up with his daughter. Besides the fact that he was oblivious to the fact that he is with Pam, we cannot help but wonder- who is Creed's daughter? Does anyone else wonder what she looks like or if he has more kids?
8. He was homeless.
Creed has stated that he will "do whatever it takes to survive" and he had to learn to do so when he was homeless. He continues to say that the only difference between him and a homeless man is the job that he has.
9. He enjoys playing Solitaire.
Whenever the camera crew turns to Creed's desk, an open game of Solitaire is pretty much always shown on his computer.
So simple, yet so mysterious.
10. He was never actually hired.
Creed used to be homeless, as he tells the camera. While it is unsure when and how long he was homeless, it is revealed that no one actually hired Creed. He literally walked in one day and pretended like he worked there and has had the job ever since.
If it was only that easy.
