Speaking on the Office Ladies podcast, former co-stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey (who played Angela Martin in the series) discussed Amy Adams’ brief appearance on The Office, revealing that she was cast in the show before making it big in Hollywood. “Amy Adams was Purse Girl, this is who [Mindy Kaling] wanted to cast as the purse girl from her audition, but something that I think people don’t realize is that Amy Adams wasn’t Amy Adams when she was cast as the purse girl. She became Amy Adams later,” Fischer explained.
