Jenna Fischer portrays Pam Beesly, the office receptionist who tolerates her boss' awkward attempts at humor in NBC's "The Office."

No stranger to television, Jenna Fischer includes among her credits guest-starring roles on "Six Feet Under," "That '70s Show," "Cold Case," "Miss Match," "Strong Medicine," "What I Like About You," "Off Centre," "Undeclared" and "Spin City." Jenna Fischer's feature-film credits include "Employee of the Month," "Lucky 13" and "The Specials," and the soon-to-be-released horror movie "Slither" from Universal Pictures.

Jenna Fischer recently wrote and directed the feature film "Lollilove," starring herself, Linda Cardellini (NBC's "ER"), Judy Greer, and her husband, James Gunn. As a result, Jenna Fischer was awarded the Screen Actors Guild Emerging Actor Award at last year's St. Louis Film Festival. In addition, she received the Tromadance Independent Soul Award at the American Film Market. "LolliLove" will be released on DVD this month (January 2006).

Jenna Fischer was raised in St. Louis, Missouri where, at the age of 5, she took her first acting class with Sean Gunn (Kirk on the "Gilmore Girls"). Gunn and Fischer stayed in touch over the years and in October 2000, she married his brother – writer-director James Gunn.
