Jenna Fischer Says Amy Adams Almost Didn’t Get ‘The Office’ Role Because They “Looked Too Similar”

Despite her resemblance to star Jenna Fischer, Amy Adams appeared on the Season 1 'The Office' episode 'Hot Girl' as Katy Moore.

Fischer recently noted that Amy Adams “was not the first person cast in the role” of Katy Moore on the NBC mockumentary sitcom’s Season 1 episode ‘Hot Girl’, which aired in April 2005, because they “looked too similar.” “We originally shot ‘Hot Girl’ for an entire day with a completely different actress in the role of Katy,” she recalled to co-host Angela Kinsey on their Office Ladies podcast. The writer’s comment inspired a line when boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell) compares their looks and refers to Katy as “Pam 6.0.”
