Dakota Johnson Explains Why Appearing In 'The Office' Finale Was The 'Worst Time Of My Life'

On Late Night with Seth Meyers, actor Dakota Johnson surprised viewers by revealing she and Seth Meyers both appeared in The Office series finale.

Johnson, who played the role of Dakota the accountant, thought it would be a quick one-off gig, but it turned into a two-week commitment.

Despite the show's star-studded cast, she said she felt like a background character, faxing documents in a chilly atmosphere due to long-standing dynamics among the original cast.

Johnson said on-set dynamics included some cast members not talking to each other, though she was still excited to be there. Meyers, trying to lighten the mood, blamed the situation on the show itself.

Despite the experience, Johnson's unexpected and extended cameo on The Office added a unique chapter to her acting career.
