Can you imagine The Office without Andy Bernard? He was originally brought on in season 3 of the show as a minor character for a temporary period of time. But his over-enthusiastic attitude and preppy nature made him a hit. Moreover, the vulnerability and insecurities of his character made him resonate even more with the audience.
