Her girl-next-door beauty and friendly attitude have made her a fan favorite ever since her breakout role on NBC’s The Office. Actress and comedienne Jenna Fischer personally maintains a MySpace profile, which she uses to connect and communicate with her fans. She stars in the new Judd Apatow comedy Walk Hard, alongside John C. Reilly.

Did You Know?

After seven years of marriage, Fischer and her husband James Gunn separated. According to her, a reconciliation is still possible.

Self-admittedly, she has no aspirations to be a movie star. “I would love to be on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.”

The writer’s strike recently caused production on The Office to shut down, an experience that Fischer described as “surreal” as she was handed boxes of her belongings from her trailer.

Both her mother and her sister are elementary school teachers. Before landing her role as a receptionist on The Office, Fischer actually worked as a receptionist, a job she describes as “mind-numbing.”

She auditioned for the role of Sydney on Alias, but she never got a call-back. She is convinced it’s because she “wasn’t hot enough.”

Fischer’s birth name was Regina.

Late to a recent phone interview with James Brady of Parade magazine, she explained that she “just moved and was showing my cat around the garden.” He got away, and she was terrified that he’d get lost, so she had to find him.
