Brooklyn Nine-Nine: 10 Things You Completely Missed From Season One

6. Who Plays Janice?

In the 20th episode, Fancy Brudgom, Charles Boyle prepares to move to Canada with his bride-to-be and asks Jake Peralta to be his best man. While at a stationary store to buy paper, Peralta encourages Boyle to call off the wedding since he's obviously being pushed into it.

During this little back-and-forth, the stationary clerk, Janice, comments on how Charles has the handwriting skills of a calligrapher. Because Janice only has three lines and doesn't say anything particularly important, most people don't remember her. (Her appearance is so brief, you probably didn't know its the same actress who plays the tyrannical senior VP in Orange Is The New Black.)

However, a lot of people don't realise the actress playing Janice is Beth Dover - the wife of Joe Lo Truglio, who portrays Boyle! In fact, the pair were engaged while filming this scene and had gotten hitched by the time this episode aired. It's pretty ironic Lo Truglio's wife only made one appearance and it happened to be in the same episode where Boyle complains about how it sucks to get married.
