Angela Kinsey is looking back on the best — and maybe most uncomfortable — scenes she filmed for The Office.
“I loved any time I got to do anything with Oscar [Nuñez] and Brian [Baumgartner] back in that accounting nook. We were like our own dysfunctional family,” Kinsey, 54, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while celebrating AT&T’s Wake Up With Craig campaign, hosted by AT&T Business, on Wednesday, May 27. “We used to say that Angela Martin and Oscar were like the parents, and Kevin was their idiot kid, so I love those story lines and whenever we got to play.”
In the nearly 190 episodes she portrayed Angela Martin, Kinsey admitted there was a scene or two that felt a little cringey behind the scenes.
“I will say maybe one of the most uncomfortable times I was on set was when I had to dress as the nurse and awkwardly walk through the whole room, and I had the cutlets,” she recalled. “They make your boobs extra big. They put the thingies in. I was like, ‘Ugh! This is so awkward.’”
All the Times ‘The Office’ Cast Worked Together After the Show Ended
As part of AT&T’s Wake Up With Craig campaign, Kinsey was able to reunite with The Office costars Craig Robinson, Ellie Kemper, Creed Bratton and Nuñez, 67, in another setting. The new ads aim to spotlight running a small business while also celebrating entrepreneurs.
Filming the project together felt like old times at Dunder Mifflin, according to Kinsey.
“It was really surreal. Anytime more than one or two of us get together, we’re like, ‘What is happening? Where are we? What is going on?’” she joked to Us from Rolling Greens in Downtown Los Angeles. “I walked on the set, and I saw Craig, and then I saw Ellie, and then Creed is my neighbor. Do you know this? He lives down the street from me. So, I see Creed probably more than anyone. It was just like, ‘Oh my gosh, oh my gosh,’ and we just fell right back into our old bits.”
In a separate interview with Us, Bratton, 83, added, “It’s like being back at school, like a school trip. So much fun, and everyone’s treating us so well. I was happy to be here. …We’re happy back in the groove. It was really a relief that we hadn’t lost it.”
‘The Office’ Cast: Where Are They Now?
While Jenna Fischer was not part of AT&T’s latest project, she still cohosts the “Office Ladies” podcast with Kinsey.
Together, the pair share a special bond that can’t be broken.
“She’s my life anchor. She’s the person I share the small moments, the big moments, and everything in between,” Kinsey shared about her longtime friend and coworker. “I feel like I journal out loud to her, and life makes sense after I bounce it off of her.”
