Jenna Fischer Gets ‘A Little Help’ with Home Wrecking

Jenna Fischer in Blades of Glory

I’ve always said that I would love for Pam Beesly to come into my life and be my own personal home wrecker. The only problem is that I do not currently have a home to be wrecked, at least not yet. So I suppose that my affair with Pam will have to wait, and for now she — as in actress Jenna Fischer — will have to do all of her home wrecking cinematically.

In the upcoming indie dramedy A Little Help, Fischer will play a single mom who tries to reconnect with an old flame — who also happens to be her sister’s husband. According to Variety, the film was penned by King of Queens creator Michael J. Weithorn, who will also make his directorial debut. Fischer can currently be seen as Pam Beesly (and Charlie Chaplin/Hitler) in the fifth season of the hit show The Office.

Beesly*

And she’s actually kinda hot there. Wow.

If you think she’s hot there, you should check her out as Whisper the prostitute in Employee of the Month (no, not the Dane Cook crapfest) with Matt Dillon. Fischer isn’t afraid to drop some foul-mouthed language either.

Oh, and she’s a director and writer, too.

Do I have a massive crush on her? Yes.

That Employee of the Month was an awesome film. I especially enjoyed the educational segment concerning what occurs when men and women climax. Hil-arious.
