Oscar Núñez reprises Oscar Martinez in The Paper, a spin-off that follows the documentary crew observing the Toledo Truth Teller, a struggling Ohio newspaper. Núñez played Martinez, a gay character, across nine seasons of the US version of The Office despite not being gay. Greg Daniels approached Núñez about returning and Núñez agreed, though he initially felt nervous about how the return would unfold. Filming eased those nerves because the cast performed strongly. Martinez is portrayed as a pseudo-intellectual who wants to work, find a boyfriend, enjoy cultural outings, and avoid constant documentary scrutiny. Daniels introduced Martinez's sexuality in season two after scripts were already written.
They're all so good. All you really have to do is show up, do your thing, and keep up with them - and trust that you're there for a reason, too.
He is a pseudo-intellectual. He wants to do his job and find a boyfriend and go to some plays. He wants to enjoy his life without being in a documentary.
"Do you mind if we make your character gay?" "No, I don't care." "Oh, good, because we already wrote the scripts."
