10 Best Characters From Michael Schur TV Shows 

5. Creed Bratton (The Office)

Ron Swanson Leslie Knope
NBC

In an office filled with misfits, Creed Bratton somehow stands out as the most absurd one of all. A deviant and a sociopath, Creed might be one of the most unsettling characters in modern TV history.

Little is really known about him. He lies frequently, but could also be telling the truth many situations. It's really hard to tell for sure. The only thing you can guarantee is that what he says and does will almost always be bizarre.

Complicating the situation is that Creed Bratton is also the name of the actor who plays him, with the character being loosely based on actor.

The line between fiction and reality get really blurry on this one.

What makes him great is the unsettling way he inhabits a scene. Watching Creed is a genuinely creepy experience because the viewer knows something is off when he's around. You can't quite put your finger on it because so few facts are known about him. You never know what he's actually up to.
