The stars earning from beyond the grave
Apparently off-screen Kinsey and Fischer are great friends and spend a lot of time together. They even co-host the podcast 'Office Ladies' as a duo.

In the BBC drama 'Sherlock,' Benedict Cumberbatch plays the detective Sherlock Holmes and Andrew Scott plays his nemesis, James Moriarty.
The pair have often been pictured laughing and joking together and reportedly even lived together while 'Game of Thrones' was being filmed.
British actors Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have actually known each other since the 1970s, but appeared to become close friends during the filming of the 2000s 'X-Men' movies.
Woodley has described Winslet as a sister and even once said, "One of the greatest gifts I've had in my life is to receive the sisterhood of Kate."
The pair play archenemies in 'X-Men' but they have a friendship that is all over social media. McKellen even officiated Stewart's wedding in 2013.
Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver may portray the opposing sides of The Force in the 'Star Wars' films, but the actors are actually the best of friends.

'Divergent' characters Tris Prior and Jeanine Matthews don't exactly get along, but their actresses Kate Winslet and Shailene Woodley sure do.
Even though Archie Andrews and Reggie Mantle are rivals in 'Riverdale,' the actors who play them, KJ Apa and Charles Melton, are actually close friends.
In a 2011 interview with Collider, Hemsworth described how it was easy for him to work with Hiddleston because of their off-screen chemistry.
'Riverdale' characters Cheryl Blossom and Betty Cooper may butt heads, but the actresses who play them, Madelaine Petsch and Lili Reinhart, are two peas in a pod.
In real life, however, the two are all about building each other up. They regularly make sweet social media posts for one another and have even been seen traveling together.
On ABC's hit drama 'Breaking Bad,' Bryan Cranston and Giancarlo Esposito played rivals Walter White and Gus Fring. In reality, however, the pair seem to be friendly.
In a 2018 interview with Glamour Petsch said of Reinhart, "We can talk about my relationships or personal lives or whatever and I feel like she's always got my back."
They have often been seen joking around on set and apparently work together on side projects when they both have some time to spare.

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale may have played archenemies Gabriella and Sharpay in the Disney franchise 'High School Musical,' but in real life they are best buds.

In 2017 the pair interviewed each other for V Magazine. Ridley said, "We became besties last year," and Driver added that becoming friends with her was his favorite part of the filming process.
The rivalry doesn't continue off-screen, however, and in reality, the actors are friends. Scott even attended Cumberbatch's wedding to Sophie Hunter in 2015.
In August 2019 Tisdale said of Hudgens: "We just have a connection and she's so awesome and one of my best friends." The two often feature on each other's Instagram.
