Jenna Fischer | The Office

At six years old, Jenna Fischer got her first experience in acting when she joined a workshop taught by her mom. By the time she was in college, Jenna performed stage plays alongside theater groups and landed small parts on TV shows and indie films. Although she had a hard time looking for her big break, we’re glad to know that the hurdle didn’t do much to drain this actress’ gas tank.

After creating her very own film, an award-winning mockumentary titled LolliLove, Jenna was then called for a gig that, in retrospect, has undoubtedly brought her fame to greater heights. That gig was as Pam Beesly on the TV show The Office. The role eventually earned her a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. With that said, she has since worked on other projects, but the most notable one is Office Ladies, a podcast she does alongside Angela Kinsey.
