10 Actors Who Reinvented Themselves In Unexpected Ways
3. John Krasinski
John Krasinski will always be Jim from The Office.
His pranks on Dwight, his hatred for Michael, his love story with Pam, it's all TV gold and nothing he will ever do will surpass any of it.
That being said, it's not like he hasn't been trying.
In 2018, Krasinski starred in, directed, and wrote the horror thriller A Quiet Place. Set in a world overrun with aliens with super sensitive hearing, Krasinski and his real-life wife Emily Blunt delivered a tense, heart-wrenching story about a family attempting to survive in this bleak new world.
Not only was the film a smash, spawning a franchise, but it also showed that Krasinski was capable of being both a leading man and a good hand behind the scenes.
He's played Jack Ryan in the Amazon Prime series of the same name, directed and produced several more movies and TV episodes, and turned up as Mister Fantastic in the MCU!
All of this from the guy who put the stapler in the Jell-O!
It's been a surprise, but a welcome one to see Krasinski do so well outside of Dunder Mifflin.
But, as we said earlier, he'll always be our Jim.
