Jenna Fischer spent years as a struggling actress working temp jobs to make ends meet before landing her big break as Pam Beesly on The Office. Here's a closer look at her long and winding road to stardom, and her transformation over the years. Jenna Fischer was landing starring roles right off of the bat when her acting career began in Saint Louis. It helps that she was the one doing the casting, because the roles were for plays she had written and performed for her family when she was a child. Fischer told Master Chat: "I cast my little sister in various roles. My parents would joke with me that I always gave myself the lead role in all the plays I made up." Once it came time to audition for plays that didn't take place in her garage, Fischer was hit with a hard dose of reality. In her book The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide, she said: "These auditions mostly ended in failure; I never got the lead roles. In fact, I barely got the supporting roles. I usually found myself being offered the obligatory consolation prize: A role in the dancing chorus."
