WBRE's Jeff Chirico speaks one-on-one with Angela Kinsey of the hit NBC show "The Office."

She's Dunder Mifflin's uptight yet sexy accountant slash party planner but don't ask Angela Kinsey if she's anything like her character, Angela Martin. She replies defiantly "I hope nothing. How much do you think I'm like my character?"

She admits she's bossy and downright blunt with her co-stars. "I'll be like 'Brian, Ewww. You have coffee breath Brian.' I say things like that."

And when she's not nit-picking she's just a regular gal who hangs with her pal Jenna Fisher who plays “Pam” on “The Office”. "We go to Target, and we do ladies walks very sort of domestic life actually," said Kinsey.

Before landing her gig as Angela Martin, she worked as an operator for 1-800-DENTIST. So you can imagine the impact of her sudden fame. "It's changed every single thing about my life really. It's like winning the lottery ticket. You try to be smart and responsible and just live in the moment and enjoy it."

And she's enjoyed her two trips to Scranton in the past year. It was the first time this Louisiana-born girl has visited the Electric City. "I talked to a few people and they're like, 'Have you been there?' You drive right through with DJs from the area and when I got here, I love it. It's a Norman Rockwell painting. I think its beautiful."

She received quite a welcome at The Office Convention last month from die-hard Dunderheads. So it begs the question, what show does Angela obsess over? "I love Lost. I love that show. On our network. I love Heroes I really do."

And one other NBC plug. Of course you can always catch Angela Thursday nights at 9 on WBRE.
