Regina Marie "Jenna" Fischer (born March 7, 1974) is an American actress. She is widely known for her portrayal as Pam Beesly Halpert on the NBC comedy series The Office, for which she received critical acclaim and was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards.
Since then, Fischer has appeared in various films such as Blades of Glory (2007), Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007), The Promotion (2008), and Hall Pass (2011) before playing Janice in the The Giant Mechanical Man, a film directed by her husband Lee Kirk. She recently starred as Rhonda McNeil in the NBC's new comedy-drama series You, Me and the Apocalypse.
Fischer was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Her mother, Anne (née Miller), is a history teacher; and her father, James E. "Jim" Fischer, is a plastics engineer. She has one younger sister, Emily, a third grade teacher. She first performed at the age of six, when she participated in an acting workshop taught by her mother at Henry School in St. Louis, a workshop also attended by actor Sean Gunn, with whom she grew up.
Fischer attended Pierremont Elementary School in Manchester, Missouri, and Nerinx Hall High School, a private all-girls Catholic school, in Webster Groves, Missouri. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in theatre, as well as a minor in journalism, from Truman State University, where she originally enrolled as a pre-law history major.
