    An unbelievable actor! hide show

    John Krasinski was born in Newton, MA, a true beantown lover. John has stared in many popular T.V. show's and movies. He just recently made a movie with Robin Williams called "Liscence To Wed". I feel that his best role, however, is in The Office. He plays Jim, a business man at a zany paper store. But throughout his day, Jim plays tricks and pranks on other members of the office, along witht the help of Pam (Jenna Fischer). Every day, he finds out some way to entertain himself, and he does! You will love John in any production he is in.

    John has this indefineable charm that just radiates off him during every role he takes. hide show

    John is one of the most charming actors I have ever seen. acting comes so naturally to him and he makes it look effortless, which is part of where his charm comes from. He can be such a character, a real card at times but I can also seeing him shining in more dramatic roles. I am anxious to see what kinds of part he takes as the years go by, I'm sure he will pick some great things that show off all the different sides to his personality and his skills. Or at least I hope he does. As Jim Halpert on The Office he puts a lot of himself into the character, I love his on screen chemistry with co-star Jenna Fisher they play off one another very well and you can just see that he has fun with the role and doesn't take himself to seriously. A lot of young actors today have that problem and it's just nice to see an actor who isn't so jaded and affected. We need more like John.

    :D hide show

    John Krasinski is amazing. He has done so much with the development of Jim's character and of the Jim and Pam story through the looks on his face alone. His reactions to the office around him are a major part of what make The Office such a funny show. Outside of The Office, John has been seen playing major roles in License to Wed and A New Wave. Both movies kind of stunk, but I would watch them both again because John Krasinski did an amazing job portraying his character in each. He was the saving grace for both those movies. It is time for him to star in a good movie, then he would really be able to shine ;)

    Takes acting to the next level... hide show

    John Krasinski is a fantastic actor. He can play any role, and he has his own style. There is just something about John Krasinski that makes him one of a kind. He like no other and that is why he is my favorite actor. You can see him in many different genres and still love him. He can play in a movie or in a tv show and you will still like him the same. You can tell that this man is very talented and will be known forever. Even in his interviews he is funny which is great for everyone. I haven't heard of anyone that doesn't like him.

    John Krasinski: Greatest Actor Ever hide show

    John Krasinski is one of the greatest actors of our time, he is amazing in every movie he's done, and of course in the greatest show ever "The Office"! But sadly he, and the many other cast members of "The Office", are completely underrated! By that I mean that I know so many people who don't even know who he is, and have never heard of "The Office"! They need to crawl out from under their rocks and take in the sunlight of greatness that is John Krasinski and "The Office"! Also, he's completely adorable, everyone needs a little JKras in their lives! :)
