‘Years ago, someone mistakenly put an image of me on a public domain site, and now apparently I am on products all around the world,’ the 42-year-old comedian – who boasts 2.7M social media followers – explained via Instastory.

Not only did B.J. portray Dunder Mifflin’s disgraced VP of Sales Ryan Howard – but he also served as one of the writers, executive producers, and directors on the NBC mockumentary sitcom.

‘And sure enough, that is what everybody shouts at you as though you don’t know it as though I don’t have all of these fears about myself, my appearance, my writing, all of this imposter syndrome. So when people yell, “You’re an imposter!” you say, “I know! I know!”
‘So often we are our own worst critics and we are the people that have thought about ourselves the most. Unless you get a thick skin over time, which I have a medium skin. Of course it hurts!’
