There was a time early on when acting looked iffy for Krasinski. He was a freshman at Brown and taking a theater class because it sounded fun and interesting. But the idea, he thought, was to do scenes, say lines, play a character—not spend inordinate amounts of time on exercises where everyone pretends to be an animal. “It was the thing I hated most,” recalls the tall (6-foot-3), good-natured 31-year-old as he sits in the leafy courtyard of a Hollywood hotel. “I thought, ‘This is where actors are too actor-y and self-absorbed. I’ll never take it seriously.’” (x) (x)

I go by Mr. K. I’m teaching English at a prep school in rural Connecticut. In my class, homework is not homework, it’s preparation for the next day. I love teaching books that have been pigeonholed as ”epics,” and my big thing is discovering for yourself why you like them. I’d have a lot of stuff written in some cryptic way on the whiteboard where you can’t understand it until we start talking about the book. I’d throw desk supplies off bridges… I’ve gone out on several dates with the bio teacher. Her name is Sarah, and she’s just a really great girl. I’m more gregarious than she is; she brings me into the underground indie-world stuff and I bring her sonnets. It’s weird because the kids are talking about this new show called The Office and they’re like, ”You guys are so much like Pam and Jim!” and I’m like, ”I don’t have a TV. Sorry, I’m not into pop culture stuff. ” - John Krasinski imagines his alternate-universe life as a teacher

“‘He has no idea that people think he’s glorious. That women on the street talk to me about my husband, and very openly.” She puts on a flat American accent: “ ‘Gad, I’m so jealous, I love him.’ It’s weird. I like it, actually. It’s very genuine. They’re genuinely like, ‘You really picked a good one.’ I say, ‘I know.’ He’s awesome.”
