Receptionist Pam Beesly of “The Office” was recently crowned “Employee of the Year” by Us Weekly. Well, more specifically, it was Pam’s portrayer, Jenna Fischer. She was one the honorees on Us’ “Hot Hollywood” list, along with American Idol Kris Allen (”Victor of the Year”), The Soup’s Joel McHale (”Comic of the Year”), and Leona Lewis (”Chanteuse of the Year”).
I love Pam, and Jenna Fischer seems pretty awesome too.
That said, does Us Weekly know there is a difference between actors and the characters they play on TV?
To be fair, Pam is a salesperson now, not a receptionist.
