Beloved for his nine-year run as Jim Halpert on the hit series The Office, he co-wrote, directed and starred alongside Blunt in the 2018 thriller A Quiet Place. Its massive success spawned two sequels, while Krasinski, who got ripped for Michael Bay’s “13 Hours,” stayed fit to play Jack Ryan for four seasons on the popular series, which is now being made into a movie.
