Timothy Olyphant's Best TV And Movie Roles To Date

Just after his debut as southern lawman Raylan Givens in "Justified," Timothy Olyphant would take a comedic detour and fill the role of Danny Cordray on the hit NBC sitcom "The Office" in 2010. Corday is a well-known and highly successful traveling paper salesman from Osprey Paper, Dunder Mifflin's rival located in nearby Throop, Pennsylvania, and has a romantic history with Pam. Despite being a smaller firm, Osprey always seems to have an edge over Dunder Mifflin, and Corday is the reason why. Appearing in a pair of memorable episodes, he becomes the subject of the episode "The Sting" when Michael, Dwight, and Jim attempt to discover — and steal — his sales secrets. When that fails, they simply hire him, leading to one of the best brief storylines in the later seasons of the series.

As Cordray, Olyphant is involved in an awkward love triangle of sorts, constantly on his back foot to explain why he broke things off with Pam. He becomes the object of Meredith's obsessed affection, and as usual, Dwight is intent on exposing him as something more than meets the eye. Like many major guest stars that came and went through Dunder Mifflin's doors, such as Idris Elba, Amy Adams, and Evan Peters, Olyphant shakes things up and gives audiences a character they wish they could have seen more of.
