Stars of The Office are all over the silver screen lately

by Joel Keller, posted Mar 22nd 2007 4:03PM

Jon Heder and Jenna Fischer in Blades of GloryI was watching an ad for The Last Mimzy, a mystically-themed family movie, and I noticed that Rainn Wilson was playing a pretty significant role in it. I was pretty happy that a guy from one of my favorite shows, The Office, was parlaying the show's success into a movie career. Then I heard that Jenna Fischer had a role in the Will Ferrell / Jon Heder figure-skating comedy Blades of Glory. It made me wonder: who else from The Office has a movie out this year?

Actually, I didn't wonder that. But I had no other good way to set up this interesting little article from USA Today, which talks to Wilson and Fischer about how the main four Office player all have movies coming out (Steve Carell has Evan Almighty and John Krasinski has Smiley Face, both coming out in the next few months).

Of course, they're all loyal to the series, so there's no worries about what might happen if one of their movie careers take off. They're all too down-to-earth to let this stuff go to their heads, anyway. The best quote came from Fischer, about two of her co-stars: "It's so cool to look at them, because to me, they'll always be Rainn and John, but for the world they're turning into Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski. They're a first and last name now."

On Six Feet Under, Jenna Fisher played a woman that Federico went on a date with, but she just used him as a hook-up.

I just wish Creed and Bob Vance were brought into the office mix a bit more!

actually Jenna Fischer also had a role in at least one That 70's Show episodes, she was the lady at the bridal shop. There was a joke about her last name "wannamaker", "i do wannamaker", an absolute classic.

Leslie David Baker (Stanley) was on a rerun of That 70's Show that aired last night. He was a janitor at a Ted Nugent concert.

Kind of off-topic, but I've been watching Six Feet Under reruns on Bravo and was surprised to see both Rainn Wilson and Jenna Fischer as guest stars.
