Lee Kirk is kind of a private guy that doesn’t share a lot of his life on the internet but can’t quite get away from it thanks to who he’s married to. Thankfully however she seems to do her part in keeping their family life off the radar as much as possible and supports him as much as she can in their marriage and their life. One might think it’s kind of tough being married to a famous actor when you’re a director/actor and not quite as famous as your spouse but he’s made it work and has managed to become very happy in his life at this point. Keeping himself away from the spotlight as much as possible is perhaps the toughest thing since it kind of seems like it might find him every now and then either because of who he’s married to or because he has his own accomplishments that people want to know about.
Here are a few things you might not have known about him.
10. He’s directed The Office.
He got to direct one episode of the show in 2010 and did a pretty good job. Something seems to indicate however that the show runs fairly smoothly with any director since it was one of the favorites of so many during its time.
9. He’s marred to Jenna Fischer.
That’s right, he’s none other than Pam’s real-life husband. It almost seems like it would be weird to see someone like Jim’s character hitting on his wife during the series and then having to be a part of the show in some way, but honestly everyone’s well aware of the act and who’s hooked up to who in real life.
8. His net worth is around $250,000.
To be honest that seems kind of low for anyone that’s involved with TV and movies but it could be that he’s not as big a name as others and this could reflect that. Still, it’s a rather big number to be associated with for some people and it’s nothing to sneeze at.
7. According to his wife and those who know him he’s a wonderful husband.
That’s a glowing recommendation from a lot of people since he’s been in show business for a while and has impressed a lot of people. It’s kind of a wonder why he hasn’t gotten any bigger with his career than he already has.
6. He does seem to have a busy schedule.
It almost seems as though Jim and Pam’s wedding mirrors hers and Lee’s since he does have a lot on his plate including his job, his marriage, and their family when it comes right down to it. But somehow he manages to juggle it all and keep moving ahead in a positive direction.
5. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of movies under his belt but he is fairly well-known.
Whether as a director, a writer, or an actor he doesn’t have a lot of credits to his name but he does manage to get recognized a time or two wherever he goes. There’s something to be said about being married to a well-known celebrity after al.
4. He’s able to keep up with his wife very well.
As busy as his schedule is Jenna’s is probably just as busy if not more so since she’s the serious actor between the two of them and has a career to consider. But throughout all of it he seems to keep up with her and keep their family stable and well-adjusted, so things are going along just as they should and they’re doing something right.
3. He’s Jenna’s second husband but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Even in this day and age there is a certain stigma attached to a woman being married more than once but in truth it doesn’t matter so long as she’s married to a man that treats her right and cherishes her as he should, and vice versa. So far as it’s been seen Lee and Jenna are usually on the same page and are seen to be a very loving couple.
2. He seems to keep a lot of info on his family on the down low.
This is probably for the best since these days if the press can get hold of anything regarding a celebrity’s personal life they’re bound to use it to their own ends for just about anything that might come to mind. By keeping his family’s information to a minimum web presence it’s possible to at least avoid a lot of the scrutiny that might otherwise come their way from one thing or another they count as a part of their normal everyday life.
1. He’s an actor as well as a director.
He played the part of a lactation consultant on The Office at one point which had to be just a little bit weird since Pam and Jim were together at that point and it would be kind of like telling your wife how to breastfeed while having her ‘husband’ nearby. Actually that’s exactly what it was like.
Throughout everything he’s been pretty supportive of his wife just as she is of him.
