His character serves as the intelligent, mild-mannered straight man role to Michael, although he is also notable for his rivalrous pranks on fellow salesman Dwight Schrute and his romantic interest in receptionist Pam Beesly, whom he begins dating in the fourth season, proposes to in the fifth, marries in the sixth, and has children with in the sixth and eighth. Jim's co-worker, Andy Bernard, often calls him by the nickname "Big Tuna".
