If you’re walking around very agitated, it’s probably because you’re dying to know where the hell the original cast of The Office is these days. That, or you’ve waited, yet again, until the last minute to do your Christmas shopping that you shouldn’t be allowed to do anyway, and now you’re starting to terribly wrap things from your apartment instead. Luckily for you, we can help with the first part.

One of the first and best American mockumentaries, The Office’s Steve Carell and company brought a lot of excitement to the typical office setting in 2005. Now we’re engrossed in tons of Netflix and TV binging that is thanks in part to these guys. But what are they up to these days?

We have the skinny on who’s a closet rock star, who’s making kids books without pictures, who is with the hottest girl in Hollywood and who is basically playing themselves in real life. Join us for another classic “Then & Now” segment as we recap where our favorite characters (OK, all of them except Roy and Jan) from the original cast of The Office are these days. Hint: Creed is still old and creepy but by far our favorite.

Then & Now: Where Is The Original Cast Of ‘The Office’ These Days

Yeah, about that: 10 Things About Old TV Shows We Do Not Miss One Bit

The Office T&N

Steve Carell (Michael Scott)

Your former fearless and clueless leader and chief is now Golden Globe nominated for Battle of the Sexes with Last Flag Flying in theaters now.
Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute)

He's the face of SoulPancake, a self-helping spiritual-esque production company that makes cool stuff and was named one of the 10 most innovative companies in 2015. He also did voiceover for Smurfs: The Lost Village.
John Krasinski (Jim Halpert)

Dweeby, floppy-hair Halpert is now jacked and married to the hottest gal in Hollywood, Emily Blunt. Krasinski put on the bulk for 13 Hours, which has led him into a new genre of acting as he now becomes Jack Ryan in the 2018 TV series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan.
Creed Bratton (Creed)

The New York Times did a piece on the same-named character, Creed Bratton, who apparently lives a secret life of rock 'n roll even at the sweet age of 74. There are videos of him collaborating with Ed Helms on banjo.
Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone)

Aside from likely breaking a lot of things and not losing any weight, Brian has recently relisted his Los Feliz home in LA, as well as done a number of guest starring TV roles on shows like Hand of God, Scream Queens and The Goldbergs.
B.J. Novak (Ryan Howard)

He's always been a writer, having scribbled for The Office during its run, but since then he's signed a huge multi-million dollar joint book deal with Mindy Kaling, as well as released a kid's book without pictures called Book With No Pictures, as well as a new 2017 installment The Alphabet Book With No Pictures.
Mindy Kaling (Kelly Kapoor)

She went straight from The Office to The Mindy Project, which was just cancelled in November after six seasons. She's currently pregnant with her first child and is starring in the female reboot, Oceans 8 in 2018.
Kate Flannery (Meredith Palmer)

She grew up in a bar, played a drunk on the show and now stars in a Hollywood lounge act with Scot Robinson. All roads lead this way.
Leslie David Baker (Stanley Hudson)

Let's just say...this says it all.
Phyllis Smith (Phyllis Vance)

The unexpectedly frisky office worker played Sadness in the hit animation, Inside Out, along with a recurring role on Netflix's The OA.
Oscar Nunez (Oscar Martinez)

I've seen Oscar pop up in guest roles on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Shameless, but I have not seen his likely shameless role in the new Baywatch movie.
Angela Kinsey (Angela Martin)

You might have been too distracted by all the cat talk to realize Angela was a bit of a babe, but she did just recently reunite with her on-screen lover, Dwight Schrute, for a little brownie baking. That is what the kids are calling it these days, by the way.
Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly)

For those of you who missed her in Blades of Glory, you missed out (on her, not the movie). Fischer has been busy with a new show Splitting Up Together and a new movie The 15:17 to Paris, both set for new year releases.
Paul Liberstein (Toby Flenderson)

You might not realize it, but the most hated guy on the show was writing and directing quite a bit of the series. Since, he has written, starred and directed for The Mindy Project and The Newsroom. But seriously, screw Toby.
