The Office Cast: Where Are They Now?
6. Mindy Kaling
As portrayed by staff writer Mindy Kaling, Kelly Kapoor was one of the most reliably funny characters on The Office. Essentially a teenager trapped in a corporate worker’s body, Kelly was a constant source of drama and laughs, particularly in her ever-volatile relationship with Ryan.
Since concluding her work on The Office, Kaling has been on a consistent upward trajectory. She immediately transitioned to The Mindy Project, a quality sitcom she created and starred in, and has since created a further two shows, an adaptation of Four Weddings and a Funeral and coming of age dramedy Never Have I Ever for Hulu and Netflix respectively.
On the big screen Kaling acted in heist romp Ocean’s 8 and media comedy Late Night, in which she co-starred with Emma Thompson. She also contributed voice work to Inside Out, well cast as the voice of Disgust.
Kaling has published two volumes of memoirs, both of which became best sellers (the second reaching #1 on the New York Times’ list). She has somehow endeavoured to own 1% of Championship football club Swansea City too.
