Born 7 March 1974, Fort Wayne — producer, the final season of The Office

An actor's producing chapter: Jenna Fischer was born in Fort Wayne, and her life and her acting career — Pam Beesly across all nine seasons of The Office — are carried in the People chapter of this record. The producing is a short, well-documented coda to it. For the series' ninth and final season (2012–2013), Fischer was credited as a producer of The Office, together with John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, and Ed Helms; by her own account the four were given producer titles because they were brought into the writers' room to shape the final season, in her case the long Jim-and-Pam arc on which the series closed. She is also a producer of the independent film The Giant Mechanical Man (2012), directed by her husband, Lee Kirk, in which she starred, and was an associate producer of the series You, Me and the Apocalypse. The credits are an actor's, extended behind the camera at the height of her show's fame — recorded here because they are credits, and stated at their true size.
