John Krasinski | The Office

With his first experience in acting being in sixth grade for a school production of Annie, John Krasinski soon followed it up with a play he co-starred and made alongside BJ Novak. After finishing his studies as an English major, John immediately pursued an acting career, appearing in commercials and guest roles in TV shows. At that point, he was also working as a waiter to cover whatever personal loans he had. Thankfully, all his hard work has since paid off.

Not long after, the actor found his breakthrough with the mockumentary sitcom The Office, alongside his high school batchmate BJ Novak. Although the show established his talents as a comedic actor, John further impressed fans, colleagues, and critics with his subsequent works. Among them, perhaps the most notable one would be the highly acclaimed A Quiet Place, a horror-thriller film he directed, co-wrote, and starred in.
