John Krasinski - 'I'll Always Love The Office'

He rose to fame in the hit sitcom The Office, and got his big break in this year’s thriller A Quiet Place. Now Hollywood leading man John Krasinski, 39, has taken on the role of action hero in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.

To most people, you’re mild-mannered paper salesman Jim Halpert from The Office – one of the best TV characters of recent years. But you’re now starring as former US Marine Jack Ryan. While it may seem like a leap, they’re actually a little similar…

They both work at a desk, so that’s something! But they’re also similar in that Jack is sort of an every man like Jim is. That’s always something I found interesting. One of the things I love about Jack is that he’s a regular guy. He doesn’t have a cape, he’s not a superhero and he can’t fly. He gets by on his instincts and his brain, which is kind of inspiring at a time like this, when we have so many superheroes. It’s nice to be playing a regular guy.

Especially in a world that feels like it’s dominated by Marvel men…

Jack is so far from that. I wanted him to be a fish out of water in the first season. He’s a guy who works at the CIA, but at a desk he has a low-drama gig. And he’s brought into a world and a situation that’s beyond him. The other thing I love is that during the first season there are genuine moments where he tries to back out – he knows it’s too much. But he perseveres. I think people will connect to that, because here’s a guy who chooses to be more, who chooses to go on. There’s a little part in all of us that would want to take bigger risks.

This is your first long-form TV role since The Office. Had other roles come up that you turned down?
