Angela Kinsey, born in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1971 and raised in Indonesia, is an American actress best known for playing the prickly accountant Angela Martin across all nine seasons of NBC’s The Office (2005-2013). Her deadpan primness and small explosions of emotion made Angela one of the sitcom’s signature characters. She has since appeared in the Netflix comedy Haters Back Off (2016-2017) and the film Half Magic (2018), and co-hosts the podcast Office Ladies (2019-) with Jenna Fischer, a long-form rewatch that has become a phenomenon of its own. She is a Second City-trained comic actress whose career has grown steadily off that one landmark role.
