Lol, this reminds me of a funny story. I had a lawyer whose name was Jim Halpert. Turns out he was the very Jim who was inspired his namesake on the office. Asked him about it once. His reply? "Hey, it's been great for getting clients." =)
He was also very much like Jim on the show. Fun times.
I've heard of this guy, but not met him. My CEO told me that I remind them of Jim Halpert and I was like "Really? The guy from the Office? I always pictured myself as more of a Creed"[1], which made them bust out laughing and declare "That's such a Jim thing to say" and wander off after explaining that it's based on a real person.
It made me wonder how many of those characters are based on real people, since they themselves reminded me of another character I'll omit for privacy's sake...
