While on ''The Office'', Krasinski began making a name for himself in films like ''Film/{{Leatherheads}}'', ''Film/AwayWeGo'', and ''Film/{{Aloha}}''. He's also written and directed himself in movies, including an adaptation of Creator/DavidFosterWallace's '' Brief Interviews With Hideous Men'', ''Promised Land'', and the horror film ''Film/AQuietPlace''.

Despite gaining a reputation for portraying the comic relief in projects for a large part of professional career, Krasinski saw a noticeable transition towards serious drama and action roles during UsefulNotes/TheNewTens, appearing in works like ''Film/ThirteenHoursTheSecretSoldiersOfBenghazi'', the aforementioned ''A Quiet Place'', and the Creator/{{Amazon|Studios}} series ''Series/JackRyan'', where he starred as the namesake Creator/TomClancy [[Literature/JackRyan character]]. He also executive produced 2016's ''Film/ManchesterByTheSea'', which was derived from a story by himself and frequent collaborator Creator/MattDamon; he was originally attached to star in the film as well (presumably in the role eventually played by Creator/CaseyAffleck), but pulled out before pre-production began.

His personal life is pretty A-List; Creator/GeorgeClooney, Creator/MerylStreep, Creator/JimmyKimmel, Creator/JasonSegel, and Matt Damon are just a few of his close friends, and have all worked with him in some capacity. He's been married to actress Creator/EmilyBlunt since 2010, with whom he has two daughters, and actor Creator/StanleyTucci is his brother-in-law (through marriage [[note]]specifically, Blunt's sister[[/note]]).

While he has earned some success, a number of people have commented that his trademark AsideGlance is difficult to separate from any non-Jim character where the slightest hint of looking at the camera implies BreakingTheFourthWall.

Getting rid of trope misuse and a broken spoiler tag. I don't think roles are supposed to be spoiled out entirely, and the spoiler tags present defeat their own purpose since it's obvious what they're covering by the context.
