Actor's loud voice mistaken for yelling by child

Actor Brian Baumgartner's naturally booming voice led to a humorous misunderstanding during a family ski trip involving his friend, Today meteorologist Dylan Dreyer. While urging children to prepare for ski school, Baumgartner's loud tone upset Dreyer's 6-year-old son, Oliver, who enjoys breakfast and began to cry.

Dreyer questioned her son, who confirmed Baumgartner's voice upset him, though the actor insisted he was not yelling. This moment, though initially distressing for a 5-year-old, has since become a running joke between the two families.

Baumgartner, widely recognized for his role as Kevin Malone in The Office, has spoken about embracing his iconic character after initially seeking to distance himself. He now views the show's enduring popularity and the comfort it brings fans as a profound blessing.
