The Office Cast: Where Are They Now?

15. Melora Hardin

One of The Office’s unsung heroes, Melora Hardin made for an incredible supporting character as the unstable, unreasonable Jan Levinson. As the show became sillier, Hardin made the character ever more her own, used in small doses but always to great effect.

Hardin had a lead role in the swiftly cancelled comedy series Wedding Band, but found greater success in the acclaimed Transparent, an early Amazon original. She played the recurring role of Tammy Cashman, a former squeeze of Sarah Pfefferman, and was Emmy nominated for her work across the first four seasons.

She has had less luck on the big screen, with the likes of Knucklehead (a comedy in which she co-stars alongside WWE giant The Big Show) making up an unimpressive resume. She can however boast a sizeable role in seriously underrated family romp 17 Again.

A talented singer who showed off her estimable pipes (usually for comic purposes) on The Office, Hardin frequently sings the national anthem at sporting events and contributed a tune to cult video game Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded.
