Packer is first introduced in the pilot episode of the series, although he is only heard over the phone and is not voiced by Koechner. In the same episode, he also reveals that he has an ex-wife as well as a 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. In the seventh-season episode bearing his name, he reveals that he has an affinity for alligators, claiming that he is able to name every subspecies.
However, numerous people instead ask Packer if he's a fan of noted American Idol failure William Hung, much to Packer's annoyance.
TODD PACKER LICENSE
His personalized Pennsylvania license plate reads "WL HUNG" (meant to be interpreted as WELL HUNG). Packer drives a red Chevrolet Corvette convertible but was at one time unable to drive it after getting a DUI. 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. However, in "Todd Packer", Michael finally loses respect for him, after he insults Michael's girlfriend, Holly Flax. (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. 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. Packer, however, had sex with both of them. 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. However, at times Packer can bully Michael with his "pranks" and actions.
They came up in sales together and both Michael and Packer share the same sense of humor. Michael and Packer are best friends and have both worked at the company for a long time. 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". 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 (although, in a deleted scene from the first season, Michael is uncomfortable when Packer starts telling a Jewish joke and quickly changes the subject). Koechner and Carrell also starred together in the film Get Smart (2008). 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. Koechner and Steve Carell previously worked together in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The exception to this is in the Pilot episode, where Todd Packer (voice only) is portrayed by Toby Huss. Packer is portrayed by David Koechner and is based upon the character Chris Finch from the original British version of the series.
