Dwight Kurt Schrute III (/ˈʃruːt/) is a character on the American television series The Office and is portrayed by American actor Rainn Wilson. Dwight's character was a salesman and the assistant to the regional manager, Michael Scott,[1] at the fictional paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin, before his promotions in later seasons of the show. His character also ran a bed and breakfast at Schrute Farms, was a beet plantation owner, and in Season 7, the owner of the business park in which Dunder Mifflin is located. His character is known for his love of bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica, martial arts and the justice system.
Throughout the series, Dwight repeatedly attempts to become regional manager of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch by serving dutifully under the regional manager character Michael Scott.
