    Closer than I was, it was Liutenant Reginald Barclay.

    And the actor was Dwight Schultz, which at first I thought was a hallucination from the search assist but IMDB agrees.

    And when I asked if “the office character” was deliberately named after the actor, it informed me that no, Creed Bratton (played by actor Creed Bratton) wasn’t named after either the actor’s or character’s name. Then a follow up question informed me that the office character was Dwight Schrute, not Shultz, so that character probably also wasn’t named after him.

    Being bad with names can sometimes be more hilarious than it should be.
