Television

In 2008, Fancey participated off-screen in an episode of The Office entitled "Dinner Party". He portrayed Hunter (usually portrayed by Nicholas D'Agosto), Jan's administrative assistant, who may have lost his virginity to her and wrote a song about it, although the storyline never revealed any evidence of such. The song, called 'That One Night," was co-written by Fancey, Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg.[3][4] The episode was nominated for an Emmy Award.

In April 2018, Fancey was interviewed by Rolling Stone's Andy Greene for an article about The Office Dinner Party episode.[5]

In late 2010, NBC hired Fancey to write a song that was featured on NBC's Prime Time Special. Fancey was also hired to create music for Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica TV show prequel.[citation needed]
