John Krasinski became a popular actor for his portrayal of Jim Halpert in the hit television series – The Office. It is through this series that people got to know about his comic timing, ability to deliver dry humor, and effortless charisma. His transition from TV to movies happened with comedy roles like – License to Wed, Leatherheads, Away We Go and It's Complicated. But he proved that he is indeed a talented actor whose niche is not just comedy when he undertook the movie - 13 Hours in which he plays a CIA officer. He then moved on to star in horror films like – A Quiet Place. But his most career-defining role came in 2018 with the Amazon Prime series – Jack Ryan. Krasinski's ability to combine intellectual aspects of the character with physical action in the movie was highly commended.
