Varför har så många tecken på kontoret samma förnamn som de aktörer som spelar dem?

7

Kontoret har 4 tecken som har samma förnamn som de aktörer som spelar dem. Angela, Phyllis, Oscar, och naturligtvis Creed Bratton (som går genom hans faktiska fulla riktiga namn).

För argumentets skull kan jag inte tänka på något annat exempel på en show där så många tecken har samma förnamn som de aktörer som spelar dem. Det finns bara en handfull på kontoret, men det verkar som ett orimligt belopp med tanke på att du sällan ser mer än en, om så. Finns det en särskild anledning att var och en av dessa tecken använder sitt riktiga namn för sina karaktärer?

Mest troligt eftersom författarna var lat :

VF Daily: First of all, I have to ask, what’s with all the first names? You’re one of four actors on The Office who has the same name as the character you play.

Angela Kinsey: You know, I was so curious about that as well, and I talked to the writers about it. They were like, “Oh, it was a total creative choice.” But now I started to hear through the grapevine that it’s probably just because they were lazy. So it’s me, Oscar [Nunez, who plays Oscar Martinez], Phyllis [Smith, who plays Phyllis Vance], and Creed [Bratton, who plays Creed Bratton].

VF Daily: Right. Creed gets the first and last names.

Angela Kinsey: Exactly. And it’s just enough to really confuse everyone, because just enough people have a different name. I would say the person it’s hardest on is Oscar. We’ll be in a scene, and he’ll call Jenna [Fischer, who plays Pam] “Jenna.” And then we’ll be at lunch, and he’ll call her Pam.

När det gäller Phyllis var hennes namn tydligen medvetet valt :

Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Smith is a former St. Louis Cardinals cheerleader. She got her start in the entertainment industry working for casting agencies, and she was working for Allison Jones casting during the pilot screen testing for "The Office" when the show's executive producers were so impressed with her line readings that they decided to create the role of Phyllis for her in the pilot. She is now a series regular.
