Autographs of David Brent
David Brent is a fictional character in the BBC television mockumentary The Office, portrayed by the show's co-creator, co-writer, and co-director Ricky Gervais. Brent is a white-collar office middle-manager and the principal character of the series. He is the general manager of the Slough branch of Wernham Hogg paper merchants and the boss of most other characters in the series. Much of the comedy of the series centres on Brent's many idiosyncrasies, hypocrisies, self-delusions, and overt self-promotion.
Gervais came up with the basic idea of Brent several years before The Office's debut in 2001. "David Brent was like a Frankenstein of all the people I'd met in my adult life. He was just a guy who wanted to be loved." Gervais based the filming format on reality-television series such as Airport. He had also worked in an office environment for almost ten years.
Brent is presented as an employer who wholeheartedly believes that his staff love him, whereas in fact, apart from Gareth Keenan, they actually resent him. In the Series 1 finale Brent betrays his staff by accepting a promotion to higher management, saving himself from the downsizing that will befall the Slough branch. Brent is later forced to turn the position down after failing a medical examination, but he insists to his staff that he failed it on purpose to save the branch.
