Kevin Jaye Malone is a character in the American television series ''The Office''. He is played by Brian Baumgartner. Kevin's counterpart in the UK series is Keith Bishop. Kevin is one of the few minor characters in ''The Office'' to be directly based on a character from the British original version. He is based on Keith Bishop, who shares Kevin's lack of communication skills (Keith became particularly popular after an episode where boss David Brent conducts a staff appraisal, to which Keith stoically fails to respond to questions). Kevin shares Keith's musical interest (as a musician, not a disc jockey as with Keith), although, in contrast to Keith, Kevin demonstrates a childish sense of humor. Additionally, both characters are overweight. ''Slate'' magazine named the character as one of the reasons they were looking forward to the return of the show in fall 2007. ==Biography== Kevin received a job as an accountant at Dunder Mifflin after applying for a job in the warehouse because Michael Scott had "a feeling about him."〔"Scott's Tots〕 Kevin was engaged to a woman named Stacey, who has a daughter named Abby. Stacey was the fourth woman to whom Kevin proposed, but the first to say yes, and he was very happy, though he secretly considered her a second choice to one of the other women, Melissa Riley. Little is known about Stacey, although she may have been seen as the woman who was Kevin's date in the second season episode "The Dundies".〔"The Dundies"〕 He has a sister who lives nearby him as shown in a deleted scene from Andy's Play, as well as a mother who recently has become incapable of living by herself and needs to be put in a home. Kevin is typically quite subdued, although he is known for making blunt or offensive comments regarding the other employees. He hints toward unbecoming Internet habits, most likely pornography, as alluded to in the episodes "E-mail Surveillance", "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" and "Whistleblower". He is very concerned about the e-mail surveillance uncovering the contents of his hard drive and actually flees an interview with the cameras to ensure that his fiancée's daughter had not found the same content.〔"Take Your Daughter to Work Day"〕 When Nick, the I.T. guy for Sabre has to examine everyone's computers, this prompts Kevin to sprint for his computer in front of everyone. But Nick confirms that he already went through Kevin's computer, causing Kevin to say that he just likes running.〔"Whistleblower"〕 Kevin plays drums and is also the lead singer in a local tribute band called Scrantonicity. The group initially was a Steve Miller Band tribute called "Jokers and Tokers", but recently refocused on the music of The Police, and rebranded accordingly as "Scrantonicity", an homage to their album ''Synchronicity''. However, after getting into a fight with his bandmates, Kevin breaks off and forms a new band, "Scrantonicity II". Kevin is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. His favorite foods are cookies, Cup o' Noodles, and M&M's. Kevin's favorite movies are ''American Pie 2'',〔"Michael's Birthday"〕 ''Weekend at Bernie's'', and ''The Cannonball Run''. His favorite number, not surprisingly, is 69, after the sexual position. According to Jim in a deleted scene from "The Dundies", Kevin is interested in naval history and enjoys bowling. In "Health Care", it was revealed that he suffers from anal fissures.〔"Health Care"〕 He is the resident gambler, partaking or initiating various bets throughout the office with other co-workers, and shows a fairly sharp talent for monitoring games fairly. In "Casino Night", he reveals that he won a World Series of Poker bracelet for No-Limit Deuce-Seven Triple Draw in 2002, but he nonetheless suffers defeat at the hands of an unwitting Phyllis Lapin-Vance. Kevin also enjoys cooking. As seen in the "Kevin Cooks Stuff in The Office" short, Kevin is currently brewing beer in the cabinet beside his desk, much to the disgust of his coworker Oscar Martinez. Kevin states that, "rules say I can't bring beer into the office, but they don't say anything about ''making'' beer in the office." He also has recipes for office-made quesadillas, creme brulee, and mashed potatoes and once a year brings in a large pot of his "famous" Chili for the office. Kevin and Oscar's personalities complement each other, with Oscar being the most intelligent Dunder-Mifflin employee and Kevin being arguably the least, and they are shown to be close friends. The two often do a fist bump when they have a minor achievement such as playing office games. Kevin suffers from plantar hyperhidrosis ("Grief Counseling" deleted scene). Angela is regularly disgusted by Kevin's feet and he protests that she knows about his medical condition. In a webisode of "The Accountants", Angela sarcastically calls Kevin a genius, though Kevin secretly thinks his IQ of 100 makes him a genius.〔"The Accountants"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kevin Malone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
