Kevin is one of the few minor characters in The Office to be directly based on a character from the British original version. He is based on Keith Bishop, who shares Kevin's lack of communication skills (Keith became particularly popular after an episode where boss David Brent conducts a staff appraisal, to which Keith stoically fails to respond to questions). Kevin shares Keith's musical interest (as a musician, not a disc jockey as with Keith), although, in contrast to Keith, Kevin demonstrates a childish sense of humor.
Kevin received a job as an accountant at Dunder Mifflin after applying for a job in the warehouse because Michael Scott had "a feeling about him." Kevin is typically quite subdued, although he is known for making blunt or offensive comments regarding the other employees. He is very concerned about the e-mail surveillance uncovering the contents of his hard drive and actually flees an interview with the cameras to ensure that his fiancée's daughter had not found the same content. When Nick, the I.T. guy for Sabre has to examine everyone's computers, this prompts Kevin to sprint for his computer in front of everyone. But Nick confirms that he already went through Kevin's computer, causing Kevin to say that he just likes running.
