Jenna Fischer “Not A Real Actress”?

Jenna Fischer has skewered Hollywood screenwriter Shem Bitterman for questioning her “real actress” status when she refused to do a sex scene.

The Office star was still an unknown commodity when she met the writer at a party, and she will never forget his comments, which left her in tears.

She tells Playboy magazine (yes, I get it for the articles):

“I had been living in Los Angeles for about a year and was a member of a theater company. One night, after a play, I went to a party and ran into the playwright.”

“He said, ‘What’s your story?’ I said, ‘I’m from St. Louis. I just got here. I want to be an actress.’”

“He said, ‘I’m writing a film, and I think you’d be great for it. But I have a question for you - would you ever do a raunchy sex scene in a movie? Like really raunchy, with nudity?’”

“I kind of laughed and said, ‘Well, I wouldn’t do anything I wouldn’t be proud to show my parents.’ And he said, ‘Well, you’re not a real actress, then.’ I was stunned.

“He said, ‘A real actress would say yes. A real actress would piss herself onstage if that’s what it took. Sylvester Stallone did porn. Shelley Winters pissed herself onstage. Every play, every movie I write has nudity in it. You know why? Because that’s how I know if I’m working with real actors. You’re not a real actress. You should just go home. You don’t have what it takes.’”

What an asshole.  Who the f*** is this guy anyway?
