• Several cast members from The Office have attempted to transition to the big screen. While Steve Carell has a several hits, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Get Smart, Dan in Real Life and Little Miss Sunshine, his co-stars have not been as successful. John Krasinski co-stared in the George Clooney box-office disappointment, Leatherheads. Rainn Wilson had a cameo in the critically-acclaimed, Juno but The Rocker bombed. Jenna Fischer has not had much luck with her roles in Walk Hard or Blades of Glory but hopes A Little Help will be her theatrical breakthrough.Paste Magazine: Jenna Fischer Gets A Little Help (November 6, 2008)
