Since wrapping up his role as Jim Halpert on The Office, it has been all about movies for John Krasinski, 36. Earlier this year, he starred in the action film 13 Hours, and on August 26 he’ll headline The Hollars, which he also directed, as a novelist swept up in his dysfunctional family. Here are some fun facts about the 6-foot-3 Massachusetts-born actor—the shortest of three brothers.
- He was bitten by the acting bug when he played Daddy Warbucks in a grade-school production of Annie.
- Before landing acting roles, he was a script intern for Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
- Krasinski and his Office TV co-star B.J. Novak played on the same Little League team.
- Prior to attending Brown University, he taught English in Costa Rica.
- In License to Wed, his character’s parents are played by his real-life parents.
