The Office’s Keith snubbed from acting job looking for ‘a Keith from The Office’

THE actor who played Keith in The Office applied for an acting job looking for “a Keith from The Office” — and did not get it.

Ewen MacIntosh, 46, played the deadpan accountant in Ricky Gervais’s hit show.

He said: “I remember, there was a thing came through for an advert for Norwich Union and on the brief they said we want a sort of Keith from The Office character.

“My agent put me up for it, I went along — and I didn’t get it.”

The sitcom finished in 2003, but Ewen revealed he was still making money from it.

He said: “When lockdown happened video messaging took off.

“All my requests are for me to do Keith for birthday messages, stag dos, weddings and so on.

@That has really, financially, got me through the pandemic in quite a big way.”
