Todd Finch Packer, almost always referred to by his surname, is a fictional character on NBC's television series ''The Office''. Packer is portrayed by David Koechner and is based upon the character Chris Finch from the original British version of the series. Koechner and Steve Carell previously worked together in ''Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy''. Koechner's appearance makes him the second main ''Anchorman'' cast member to appear in the series, after Carell and before Will Ferrell, who guest-starred as Deangelo Vickers, in a four-episode arc during the seventh season. ==Biography== Todd Packer is the extremely boorish, alcoholic, and sexually promiscuous Outside Sales Representative of Dunder Mifflin, whose obscene, disrespectful jokes, which often reflect his misogynistic and homophobic views, usually offend others around him, except for Michael Scott, for the most part (although, in a deleted scene from the first season, Michael is uncomfortable when Packer starts telling a Jewish joke and quickly changes the subject).〔Deleted scenes. The Office. Season One. Region 1 DVD. Prod. Universal Studios; dist. Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2005.〕 Packer has also been known to presume jokingly that other males in the office are homosexual, such as when he asked Jim if he was "still queer" and when he called the Dunder Mifflin Scranton office and asked to speak with Michael, whom he calls a "gay nerd". Although Michael considers Packer to be his best friend, and even has him listed as his emergency contact,〔"The Fight"〕 their friendship appears to be largely one-sided, with Packer treating Michael more like an audience for, and occasional target of, his jokes rather than a friend. He has used Michael as a scapegoat before, such as when Packer picked up a bouncer's girlfriend while he and Michael were at a convention, only to leave Michael behind, after which Michael was savagely beaten up by the bouncer and his friends. In "Sexual Harassment", Michael recalls that once on a sales trip together he and Packer met female twins and brought them back to their hotel room. Packer, however, had sex with both of them. Packer has also pulled some considerably cruel jokes on Michael as well, such as in the episode "The Carpet", wherein a highly malodorous substance has been left in Michael's office. (Although the substance is never clearly identified, it is implied that it is human feces.) Michael is outraged until he learns that Packer is the culprit, at which point Michael's attitude changes and he comes to believe that the practical joke is wildly clever. However, in "Todd Packer", Michael finally loses respect for him, after he insults Michael's girlfriend, Holly Flax. In many of his trips to the office, Packer has obnoxiously flirted with many of the female employees, including Pam Halpert (causing her to pretend to have to be on the phone for hours), Karen Filippelli (before discovering that she was dating Jim at the time, to which he responds by claiming either that Jim has "been scared straight" or that Karen is actually a man), and Meredith Palmer, the only woman in the office who appears to be attracted to him. Packer drives a red Chevrolet Corvette convertible but was at one time unable to drive it after getting a DUI. His personalized Pennsylvania license plate reads "WL HUNG" (meant to be interpreted as WELL HUNG). However, numerous people instead ask Packer if he's a fan of noted American Idol failure William Hung, much to Packer's annoyance. In the seventh-season episode "of his name", he reveals that he has an affinity for alligators, claiming that he is able to name every subspecies. In the same episode, he also reveals that he has an ex-wife as well as an illegitimate daughter with her; he has a troubled relationship with both, referring to his daughter as a "bitch" and comparing her attitude to that of her mother. 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「Todd Packer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
