The actress Angela Kinsey, who played the character Angela Martin in “The Office” talked about how he objected to recording one of his character's jokes in the series' script because he considered them too inappropriate.
“There were once or twice when I came across a joke that I thought was very formulaic, that it hit too hard on one key. I like to think of Angela as a complete, three-dimensional person,” she said in an interview with her former co-star Rainn Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute in the series, on the podcast Soul Boom.
“I remember there was a specific story between Angela and Oscar where Angela was very judgmental. I never spoke to Greg [Daniels, criador do programa] about no joke, but there was a joke at the Oscars' expense, and I went to Greg and said, 'I can't,'” she explained.
“I think Angela called on Jesus at that moment. I just thought, 'I don't feel good about this. I don't feel like that's what Jesus was to me,'” said Kinsey, who, like her character, is Christian.
According to her, Greg Daniels agreed after listening to her and decided to take the joke from the episode “Gay Witch Hunt”, from the first season of “The Office”, in which the office discovers that Oscar is gay.
