Early Life and Youth
John Burke Krasinski was born on October 20, 1979, in Boston to Mary Clare, a nurse, and Ronald Krasinski, a physician. His father is of Polish descent, while his mother has Irish roots. John has two older brothers: Kevin, a doctor, and Paul, a strategic consultant. Surprisingly, at 6'3", John's actually the shortest of the three brothers – his siblings tower at 6'6" and 6'10".



Acting Career
After graduating from Brown University, Krasinski moved to New York and grabbed whatever work he could get. He appeared in commercials and as a TV extra, spent most of his time waiting tables, and did literary readings at small venues on weekends. During this period, Krasinski also had an internship as a writer for the popular show "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
John's breakthrough came when he landed the role of Jim Halpert, the charming and clever salesman, in the sitcom "The Office," which ran from 2005 to 2013. The actor later admitted that if he hadn't gotten this role, he would have quit acting and moved back home.I love acting more than anything in the world. Everything else – writing, producing, directing... It's interesting, but it doesn't compare to the joy of acting.


Around the same time, John made his directorial and screenwriting debut with the tragicomedy "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men," in which he also starred. The film received mixed reviews from audiences.
After "The Office" ended in 2013, Krasinski dove into voice acting for animated projects, lending his voice to Secretariat in "BoJack Horseman" and appearing in "The Wind Rises."
In 2013, he founded the production company Sunday Night Productions with Allyson Seeger. Under its banner, he later produced series like "Jack Ryan", the animated series "Dream Corp LLC", his YouTube project "Some Good News", the reality show "Lip Sync Battle", and other projects.

In April 2018, the horror film "A Quiet Place" hit theaters, with Krasinski taking on triple duty as director, writer, and lead actor. Emily Blunt played his on-screen wife. The virtually wordless film broke new ground in the horror genre and earned rave reviews from audiences. "A Quiet Place" earned Oscar nominations for "Best Sound Editing," Golden Globe nominations for "Best Original Score," and BAFTA nominations for "Best Sound." It won two Saturn Awards (for "Best Horror Film" and "Best Writing"), the "Sputnik" award for "Best Sound," and the Critics' Choice Award for "Best Sound."
