Angela Kinsey was born on June 25, 1971 in Lafayette, Louisiana. She is an Emmy Award-winning American actress.
Her first became known to millions when she was cast as uptight accountant Angela Martin on the hit NBC sitcom, The Office (2005).
After graduating with a degree in English, she joined a post-graduate program in New York, where she worked as an intern on Late Night with Conan O’Brien (NBC, 1993).
She began to land spots on sitcoms like Step By Step (ABC, 1991-97) and All of Us (UPN/CW 2003-07), putting her Texas accent to work voicing a few episodes of King of the Hill (Fox, 1997).
Ten years after landing in Hollywood, Kinsey was called in to audition for the NBC version of the award-winning BBC comedy The Office. She originally auditioned for the role of receptionist Pam, but execs instead offered her the role of the busybody, uber-Puritan accountant Angela. She, along with the rest of the cast members from The Office, was recognized with an award from the Screen Actors Guild in early 2007.
Hot off her success as the love interest of Dwight Schrute, Kinsey was scheduled to be a guest on an experimental improves show called Thank God You’re Here on NBC later in the spring of 2007. On film, Kinsey appeared in the 2004 short Career Suicide, and in 2006 she made her full-length feature debut with the independent film Tripping Forward.
