Jenna Fischer, known for her role as Pam Beesly in 'The Office,' shares her surprising talent for remaining unnoticed by the paparazzi and reveals how a striking resemblance to Amy Adams once caused casting confusion.
Jenna Fischer, known for her role as Pam Beesly in the beloved sitcom 'The Office,' has revealed her remarkable ability to blend into the background. In a recent episode of the 'Office Ladies' rewatch podcast, she shared anecdotes about her invisibility to the paparazzi. Fischer recounted an instance where a paparazzo crashed his car into hers, yet failed to recognize her even after they exchanged information.
'I had to get out of my car and exchange information with them, and they never took my photo. That's how invisible I am to that world,' she exclaimed. Fischer also shared a humorous story about mistaking Amy Adams for herself at a party, demonstrating how easily she could be overlooked. She explained that she and Adams were both at the gathering and a man she was with accidentally put his arm around Adams, thinking she was Fischer.Fischer's ability to fly under the radar is particularly intriguing considering her fame during the run of 'The Office' from 2005 to 2013. During those years, she was nominated for Emmy awards, graced magazine covers, and became a household name. Despite this recognition, Fischer confessed to often being mistaken for Adams, highlighting their striking resemblance. She revealed that the writers of 'The Office' initially had concerns about casting Adams in her small role as Katy Moore because they feared audiences might confuse her with Fischer. 'There was this concern that Amy and I looked too similar. And I guess one of the writers even said, 'I'm sorry, we can't cast her. She's like Jenna 2.0,' Fischer explained. 'So they got cold feet and they cast someone else. But when it didn't work out, they decided to cast Amy and just lean into the fact that she and I looked similar because that wasn't the idea behind the role at first.' Ultimately, the writers embraced the similarity, even exploring the possibility of a romance between Katy and Jim, played by John Krasinski. This casting decision and the subsequent exploration of their resemblance added an interesting dimension to the show, further cementing Fischer's place in television history
