Milton Waddams Cosplay Costumes
When attempting to pattern Milton Waddams’ look from Mike Judge’s comedy Office Space, think nondescript and nearly invisible. Milton doesn’t speak up for himself and blends into the business of the office. If you don’t already have similar clothing for this cosplay, you should be able to get what you need at a local thrift shop.
A dingy short sleeve collared shirt with a muted gray tie and a pair of black slacks is just about all you need for the clothing. Accessories are key for this look, though. Add a pair of square lens glasses, a pocket protector, and name badge. Finish off Milton’s style with a basic Casio watch and a red Swingline stapler. Group cosplay for this character can include other Office Space characters like the obnoxious Vice President Bill Lumbergh, Peter Gibbons, Bob Slydell, or Tom Smykowski.

About Milton Waddams
An office pushover and an all-around scardy cat, Milton Waddams, plays an interesting role in the cult classic Office Space. Bullied by his boss, underestimated, and ignored, Milton is disgruntled and suffers in increasingly difficult silence. All he wants is to work in peace in his cubicle and collect his paycheck. Neurotic and shy, Milton, played by Stephen Root, is incapable of speaking without stuttering.
Repeatedly downsized in the software company he works for, Milton grows angrier. His behavior begins to spill over in quiet outbursts. Milton begins to mutter about burning the place to the ground. He is partial to his red Swingline stapler, it’s his sanity. Once it is taken by his managerBill Lumberg, Milton becomes unhinged. He finally gets some backbone, seizes an amazing financial opportunity, and keeps his promise to watch the office go down in flames.
