“Here is the thing about being a bridesmaid,” The Office star shared. Kemper noted that the responsibilities of a bridesmaid can add up to a long list, where you run the risk of losing that festive “wedding” spirit.

“One glance at the lone scene I had been given for our Bridesmaids audition assured me that Becca (I still don’t know if she had a last name) was a creature not only in possession of, but positively defined by, her naiveté, her wide-eyed optimism, and her large face.” “I was just emerging from a second season on The Office playing Erin Hannon, a woman marked by her naiveté, her wide-eyed optimism, and her large face,” Kemper explained. Kemper felt that her character on the NBC sitcom The Office further solidified her expertise in portraying Becca since the roles were quite similar in personality type. “I was born to play Becca - I had already been a bridesmaid in real life nine times, and taking my story to the silver screen seemed, to me, the most natural thing in the world.” “I was not at all surprised to learn that I had won the role,” she wrote in her book, My Squirrel Days. When Kemper was given the news that she landed the part of Becca in the now-iconic comedy flick, she was thrilled but far from shocked that she got the Bridesmaids gig.
