The Office star Jenna Fischer reveals why Amy Adams almost didn't get 'Hot Girl' role

Jenna is most famous for her role as Pam Beesly in The Office from 2005-2013, while Amy only played a small role in the first season.

The Office star Jenna Fischer has shared how Amy Adams almost didn't get her role in the first season of the comedy series because it was feared that the pair looked too 'similar'. Reflecting on the casting choices for the episode titled, Hot Girl, Jenna and her co-star Angela Kinsey shared new secrets in their revamped Office Ladies rewatch podcast. Indeed, the likeness between the pair ended up being commented upon in the show, as it inspired a line that saw boss Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) to compare their looks and refer to Katy as 'Pam 6.0'.
