Actress Dakota Johnson, known for her role as ‘Anastasia Steele’ in “Fifty Shades of Grey,” had a forgotten appearance on “The Office” before her rise to fame.

In her brief appearance, she played a character who replaced ‘Kevin’ (played by Brian Baumgartner) in the office after his dismissal by ‘Dwight’ (Rainn Wilson). Dakota’s character was involved in only two scenes in the final episode of the successful series.

Johnson revealed in an interview on the show ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ that her appearance was planned to establish a possible spin-off series from “The Office,” but the project never materialized.

The actress also admitted that she did not have a very pleasant experience on set during the filming of the series, and revealed that some actors were not speaking to each other.

“That was honestly the worst moment of my life. They said, ‘Do you want to be in the series finale?’. And I said, ‘Sure’, thinking I would show up [on set] for half a day. I was there for two weeks. And I barely show up in the damn series. […] There were strange dynamics that had been happening for the last 10 years. Some people weren’t talking to each other. And I was coming in like, ‘I’m so excited to be here!’. Nobody wanted to talk to me. Nobody cared.”
