It seems like Brian Baumgartner had quite a year. The 48-year-old actor played Kevin Malone on The Office for the beloved sitcom's nine season run. While you may think starring on The Office was the gig of a lifetime, it turns out Baumgartner may have found an even better gig—booking virtual appearances on Cameo.

If you haven't heard of Cameo, its an app that allows fans to book their favorite actors, reality TV personalities, comedians and more to record personalized videos for special occasions. According to Cameo's co-founder and CEO Steven Galanis, Baumgartner is so popular on the app that he's set to make $1 million from the app this year. Not only will be taking home $1 million, he's also the highest earner on the app.

"The person that did the most in revenue this year is Brian Baumgartner who is Kevin from The Office," Galanis said in a recent New York Times interview. "He’ll do over $1 million this year in bookings."

When asked why Baumgartner is so popular with Cameo users, Galanis said the actor "really takes a lot of pride in his craftsmanship of the videos. I do think the quality of the Cameo is something that is really important to people. He just is somebody that really takes it seriously and does a great job."

Galanis also praised Baumgartner's ability to take on a ton of requests and get them done ASAP. "He’s reliable," Galanis said "He turns them around quickly. And the content is really funny."
