Pam Beesly is Totally Down For A Revival of The Office
While I’m not totally on board with a revival of The Office, the first television show I ever found myself appointment watching, one of the show’s main characters, Pam Beesly, is totally on board with the idea.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Jenna Fischer, the 43-year-old actress who played the part for nine seasons, would love to be a part of the project.
“I think the idea of an Office revival is a great idea. I would be honored to come back in any way that I am able to. I loved playing that character and as long as Greg Daniels is the person in charge and the visionary behind it, then I would absolutely be up for it. We just have to get Mindy, B.J. Novak, Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, Mike Schur to write some episodes. That show was so great because of the talent involved behind the scenes, not just on the screen.”
Well, that’s encouraging.
The last thing we need is for the characters to be re-cast or something of that nature. However, in my opinion, the show needs Michael Scott — played by Steve Carell — in order to avoid tarnishing the legacy of the first seven seasons (sorry, James Spader).
Fischer was out on a press run promoting Splitting Up Together, a new comedy from ABC that stars Fischer alongside Oliver Hudson. The show will debut in March of 2018 and is the brain-child of Emily Kapnek (Suburgatory, Selfie).
