10 Actors You Didn't Know Were Almost Cast In The Office
4. John Cho As Jim Halpert
The brilliant John Cho was also one of the many who auditioned for the role as Jim Halpert.
He does have the same sweet nature as John Krasinski, but you have to think that his Asian heritage may have changed the dynamic between Jim and the racially-insensitive Michael Scott.
Cho is probably most famous for starring in the Harold and Kumar movies. He has also appeared in things like Star Trek, Grey's Anatomy, and Ugly Betty.
