Since The Office ended, Brian Baumgartner—who played the show’s subdued, perfunctory "Kevin Malone"—has made a second career for himself as one of the top earners on Cameo, the website that allows celebrities to leave personalized messages for fans. A report in 2021 claimed that Baumgartner had made over a million dollars through Cameo videos alone.

However, it would appear that, in one case, Baumgartner’s friendly online videos accidentally contributed to an aggressive disinformation campaign aimed at toppling the current president of Moldova. A new report from Wired claims that Baumgartner was one of a number of celebrities who recently made a Cameo video decrying the President Maia Sandu. "We, Hollywood stars, support the people of Moldova in their desire to overthrow you, Sandu," the actors said. That video was subsequently tied into what has been described as a "tide of disinformation unprecedented in complexity and aggression" aimed at the tiny eastern European nation.
