Early Life
John Krasinski was born John Burke Krasinski on October 20, 1979, in Newton, Massachusetts. He grew up in a Catholic household with mother Mary (a nurse), father Ronald (an internist), and older brothers Paul and Kevin. In sixth grade, John played Daddy Warbucks in a school production of "Annie." He attended Newton South High School with B.J. Novak, who would later co-star on "The Office" with John, and when they were seniors, he appeared in a play that was written by Novak. Krasinski graduated in 1997 and spent the summer teaching English in Costa Rica. He studied playwriting at Brown University and earned a Bachelor of Arts in English in 2001; Brown also gave him an honorary degree in 2019. As a college student, John joined sketch comedy group Out of Bounds and coached youth basketball. After graduation, he studied at Connecticut's National Theater Institute, England's Royal Shakespeare Company, and New York's Actors Center.
Career
Krasinski moved to New York to focus on his acting career, appearing in off-Broadway play readings as well as commercials and guest-starring roles on television shows. In 2002, he interned on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" as a scriptwriter. The show was a popular starting point for future stars of "The Office" – Mindy Kaling and Ellie Kemper also worked as interns for Conan. In 2004, he got his big break when he was cast in the American version of Ricky Gervais' workplace sitcom "The Office" as Jim Halpert, a charming sales rep who (along with Jenna Fischer) would become part of one of the most beloved couples in television history. "The Office" ran from 2005 to 2013, and in addition to starring on the show, Krasinski directed 3 episodes and filmed the Scranton footage that appears in the opening credits.
While starring on "The Office," John appeared in several films, including "License to Wed" (2007), "Leatherheads" (2008), "Away We Go" (2009), "It's Complicated" (2011), and "The Muppets" (2011), and he voiced Sir Lancelot in "Shrek the Third" (2007) and Cuthbert in "Monsters vs. Aliens" (2009). Krasinski also wrote, directed, produced, and appeared in 2009's "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" and co-wrote, produced, and starred in 2012's "Promised Land" with Matt Damon. John was considered for the lead role in "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), but the part ultimately went to Chris Evans. In 2012, he appeared in indie film "Nobody Walks," which won a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
John has kept busy since "The Office" ended, directing, producing, and starring in "The Hollars" (2016) and "A Quiet Place" (2018) and appearing in "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" (2016) and "Detroit" (2018) as well as co-creating and producing "Lip Sync Battle," which has been airing since 2015. He also served as an executive producer on 2016's "Manchester by the Sea," which was based on Krasinski's idea and was nominated for 6 Academy Awards. In 2018, he began starring on Amazon Prime's "Jack Ryan," a political thriller that earned him a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. During 2020's Coronavirus pandemic, John created YouTube web series "Some Good News," which focused on spreading good news during a stressful, uncertain time. The show's 8 episodes have drawn more than 72 million views, and Krasinski sold the series to ViacomCBS in May 2020; though he will still produce "Some Good News," a new host will be taking over in the second season. "A Quiet Place II" was released in 2020 and earned $300 million.
John Krasinski is currently writing, directing, and producing a fantasy comedy titled "IF," formerly "Imaginary Friends." The project was picked up by Paramount Pictures, and Krasinski will co-star alongside Ryan Reynolds and feature "The Office" co-star Steve Carell. The film is expected in mid-2024.

John and Emily sold this Brooklyn property in 2018 for $6.5 million.
In 2019, they bought an entire floor in a Brooklyn condominium building for $11 million.
In June 2012, John and Emily paid $2.15 million for a gorgeous 5-acre property in Ojai, California, just south of Santa Barbara. They listed this home for sale in November 2015 for $4.25 million but the market apparently was cold because they ultimately accepted $2.4 million in January 2017. Here is a video tour of their former Ojai home:
