About Jenna Fischer in brief
Regina Marie Fischer is an American actress best known for her portrayal of Pam Beesly on the NBC sitcom The Office. She was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2007. Fischer’s first book, The Actor’s Life: A Survival Guide, with an introduction by Steve Carell, was published in November 2017. Fischer has appeared in such films as Blades of Glory, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, The Promotion, Hall Pass, and The Giant Mechanical Man. She also appeared as Rhonda McNeil in the NBC’s comedy-drama series You, Me and the Apocalypse. Fischer also starred in the ABC sitcom Splitting Up Together. Her first paying film role was a sex education video for psychiatric patients upon their release from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. She has one younger sister, Emily, a third grade teacher. She first performed at the age of six, when she participated in an acting workshop taught by her mother at Henry School in St. Louis, Missouri. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in theater, as well as a minor in journalism, from Truman State University, where she originally enrolled as a pre-law history major.
Fischer struggled to break into film and television. She appeared in bit parts in small independent films during her early years in Southern California, including Employee of the Month, Lucky 13, and The Specials. On television, she performed as a guest on shows including Cold Case, Miss Match, Off Centre, Six Feet Under, Strong Medicine, That ’70s Show, Undeclared, and What I Like About You. While her film career was slowly taking off, Fischer took matters into her own hands, writing, directing and starring in her own mockumentary, LolliLove, her only directing credit. For her role in the film, Fischer was awarded a Screen Actors Guild Emerging Actor Award. Despite her contribution to her career, she admitted to St. Louis arts and entertainment magazine that writing was exhausting and the directing experience dissuaded her from any future directing. She is married to actor Lee Kirk, with whom she grew up. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Sean Gunn, and their two children, a son, a daughter, and a son-in-law.
