During her career, she has become very successful and now has an estimated net worth of $15 million. Here is how this talented actress has become so rich.

Early Life

According to Wikipedia, Jenna Fischer was born as Regina Marie Fischer in Indiana on March 7, 1974. Fischer began performing as a child when she took part in acting workshops that were led by her mother, who was a history teacher. Fischer later studied at Truman State University for a Bachelor of Arts in theater and she minored in journalism. Originally, she had enrolled at the university to study for a pre-law history major.

The Beginning of Her Career

While she was still a student, Jenna Fischer began performing with a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater group. However, it was her move to Los Angeles in 1998 that began her career. When she first moved, she appeared with the Zoo District Theater company, which led to her being signed by an agent. Unfortunately, she still struggled to get film and television roles.

One of her first jobs was appearing in a video aimed at delivering sex education to psychiatric patients. She had been in Los Angeles for three years before she got her first job in television. She had a small role as a waitress in ‘Spin City’. This led to her having minor roles in many other television series. Due to the slow progress in her career, Fischer decided to take control of the situation and created a mockumentary called LolliLove. She was the writer and director of this mockumentary, as well as the star.

Landing a Role in ‘The Office’

LolliLove helped Fischer to establish herself as an actress, and this opened up more opportunities for the actress. Her big career break came when she attended auditions for ‘The Office’ and successfully landed the role of Pam Beesly. This is the role for which she is still best known. According to IMDb, she received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2007. Fischer played the role of Pam Beesly until 2013.

Other Television Work

Her Career in Film

In addition to her television career, Jenna Fischer has also had a successful career in the film industry. Although she had small roles in films prior to landing the role of the receptionist on ‘The Office’, her film career did not really take off until 2006. That year, she had a role in the film ’Slither, co-starring alongside her first husband. The following year, she had supporting roles in ‘The Brothers Solomon’, ‘Blades of Glory’, and ‘Walk Hard: The Dewy Cox Story’. She then co-starred in ‘The Promotion’ in 2008. Now that she was established in the film industry, things really took off for Jenna Fischer. Between 2009 and 2011, she had roles in ‘Solitary Man’, ‘A Little Help’, and ‘Hall Pass’. Since then, her films have included ‘The Giant Mechanical Man’, ‘Are You Here’, ‘Kiss Me’, ‘Brad’s Status’, and ‘The 15:17 to Paris’.
