    Acting as well as writing; a good combination. hide show

    I really respect Mindy Kaling. Not only does she write spectacular scripts for The Office she also stars in the comedy. At first the producers weren't sure if Mindy would be starring in The Office but after the first episode they knew she would stay. I'm really glad she also had the chance to play a part in this comedy. I think Mindy is a natural with acting and also with writing. I am eagerly awaiting new projects form Mindy Kaling. I think there are only good things to come from this up and coming writer, star. I wish her luck!
