    The 31-year-old actress -- best known for her roles on "Roswell," ABC Family's "State of Georgia" and "Quarterlife" -- will play Fannie Schrute, Dwight's "pseudo-intellectual lefty" younger sister, the blog reported.

    Additionally, Deadline reported Fannie fled the Schrute family beet farm/bed & breakfast for a faster-paced life in Boston, but will find herself back on the farm, child in tow, after getting a divorce.
