Kinna McInroe (born April 30, 1973) is an American actress, known for her role as Nina in the film Office Space. She has guest-starred in episodes of several television series, has appeared in a number of feature and direct-to-video films, has worked extensively in short films, and has been narrating a series of online videos released under the pseudonym Squirrel-Monkey since 2012.

Life and career beginnings

[edit]

McInroe studied improvisational theatre with Gary Austin, the founder of The Groundlings.[1] From her first appearance as Nina in the 1999 film Office Space, through to her appearance as Darlene in the early 2009 short film Love Never Tires, McInroe had a very different body shape than she does now. Between late 2008 and early 2011, she lost over 100 pounds (45 kg).[2]

Videos

[edit]

Working with Dutch comedy video artist Jo Luijten, McInroe provides the narration on several web videos they have released under the pseudonym Squirrel-Monkey. Most of the Squirrel-Monkey videos show what social networking sites and video games might have looked like if created on the computers of the 1980s or 1990s. Since their introduction in March 2012,[3] the videos have received positive press from a number of news and technology websites, including Mashable,[4] Wired[5] and The Huffington Post.[6]
