Craig Robinson in Philly!

When it comes to sitcoms, no one says so much by saying so little as the taciturn warehouse manager Darryl on “The Office.”

“Can’t you see I’m busy, Michael?”

“I taught Mike a few phrases to help him with his ‘interracial’ conversations. You know like ‘fleece it out,’ ‘going Mach 5,’ ‘dinkinflicka.’ You know, things us Negroes say.

“Mike, you’re a very brave man, I mean it takes courage just to be you. To get out of bed every single day knowing full well you gotta be you.”

Darryl is portrayed with low-key brilliance by actor/comedian Craig Robinson, who is a very busy man of late. In addition to “The Office,” he has appeared in some big name comedies (Pineapple Express, Zack and Miri Make a Porno) and does stand-up as well.

He will be at Helium Comedy Club in Philly: 11/19/2008 through 11/22/2008.

Our pal Chris at PhillyBurbs had a nice with Craig recently. Did you know this?

“I actually have a degree in music and a master’s in secondary education. I used to teach music to Kindergarten through 8th grade children.”
