B.J. Novak: Then
Another cast member who also wrote for the show, B.J. Novak played Ryan Howard, who started as a temp but went through more changes than almost any other character on “The Office,” both in job title and appearance. Novak’s most memorable moments came in Season 4, when he grew a half-beard and somehow leveraged his business school degree into a fancy Dunder Mifflin corporate job where he was briefly Michael Scott’s boss.
