Is Oscar from The Office gay in real life? Real-life actor sexuality, family, and ethnicity explored 

No, Oscar Nunez, who plays Oscar Martinez on NBC’s The Office, is not gay in real life. Oscar plays the role of an accountant at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin on the show. When he signed up for the show, Nunez had no idea about the sexuality of his character. Oscar from The Office came out as gay in a season 3 episode titled “Gay Witch Hunt."

The revelation of the character’s sexuality made The Office fans wonder if Oscar was gay in real life. The reason being, at that time, he was the only gay character on the NBC TV Network.

On The Office for weeks, he had been secretly seeing Senator Robert (Jack Coleman), Angela's (Angela Kinsey) husband. Oscar chuckled nervously when he unintentionally agreed with Angela's assessment about the senator's morning behavior, given that Angela worked two feet away from him.
