Office Romance Cast: Where Have You Seen The Stars Before?

Office Romance is the type of rom-com we have all been yearning for.

Written by and starring Brett Goldstein alongside romantic comedy queen Jennifer Lopez herself, the film dropped on Netflix on Friday, and quickly became a hit with viewers looking for something fun to help pass a night in.

Besides its central couple, the movie boasts an all-star cast that includes some of the funniest performers working right now from both sides of the Atlantic.

If you’re one of those who wasted no time in hitting play on Office Romance, here is where you’ll recognise some of the main cast from…

To be honest, if you don’t know who is Jennifer Lopez, you may well have been living under a rock for the last 30 years.

Just in case you need an update, though, J-Lo is a world-famous triple-threat who has primarily made a name for herself as a popstar, selling more than 80 million records worldwide, in addition to her successful career as an actor.

First finding fame in the biopic Selena, she has since become best known for her role in rom-coms like The Wedding Planner, Maid In Manhattan and Monster-in-Law.

Her recent career resurgence included her role in 2019’s Hustlers, which critics cited as one of the best of the year, and even generated Oscar buzz (although she didn’t end up getting nominated).

Jen is as known for her personal life as her career, thanks to her on/off relationship with Ben Affleck and past romances with the likes of Mark Anthony and baseball player Alex Rodríguez.

Writer and actor Brett Goldstein is best known for his performance as Roy Kent in the sports comedy Ted Lasso, but he has had a career in comedy that spans more than a decade.

He first found fame when he appeared in Ricky Gervais comedy Derek as Tom, before going on to appear in Jessica Knapett’s comedy Drifters, Nick Helm’s Uncle and the – thankfully, long forgotten – David Hasselhoff mockumentary Hoff The Record.

Since going global as his mouthy footballer alter-ego in Ted Lasso, Hollywood has come calling. He previously made a cameo in Thor: Love & Thunder as Hercules, as well as writing and co-starring in rom-com All Of You and voicing the twins Ronnie and Reggie in The Sheep Detectives.

Since 2018, Brett has also hosted the podcast Films to Be Buried With, where guests talk about films that have been important in their lives.

Betty Gilpin is one of America’s most underrated character actors.

After years of playing small, but scene-stealing, roles on TV, she found recognition when she was cast as Dr. Carrie Roman in the popular series Nurse Jackie.

Her following continued to grow when she began playing Debbie “Liberty Belle” Eagan in Netflix’s wrestling drama Glow, a role for which she was nominated for an Emmy and a Critics Choice Award.

Since appearing in Glow, she’s had a starring role in Gaslit alongside Julia Roberts, played a nun battling AI in Mrs. Davies and starred opposite Michael Shannon as former US president James Garfield’s wife, Lucretia, in Netflix’s Death By Lightning.

Her most famous – or, perhaps, infamous – role on the big screen came in 2020, when she starred in The Hunt, which a satirical dystopian drama which sent up political divisions in the US.

On stage, Betty was the first actor to play Mary Todd Lincoln after Cole Escola’s departure from their award-winning play Oh, Mary!.

Amy Sedaris is one of the most iconic names in modern comedy thanks to her performances as Jerri Blank in Strangers With Candy, Mimi Kanasis in the Tina Fey sitcom Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and numerous characters in her Emmy-nominated show At Home with Amy Sedaris.

You may also know Amy for playing scrap owner Peli Motto in both The Mandalorian and The Book Of Boba Fett.

Office Romance isn’t Amy’s first J-Lo film, either.

She also appeared in Maid In Manhattan as Natasha Richardson’s snobby friend, while her other big-screen credits include Elf, the ill-fated Bewitched remake and the cult horror Jennifer’s Body.
