John Krasinski is Quite Improper

December 21, 2005 by  

Ok, it’s been a whole nine days since I posted anything about The Office and/or John Krasinski. See, the therapy is working. Anyway, my favorite Office-mate is now a cover boy. Krasinski, who grew up right outside of Boston, is on the cover of this month’s Improper Bostonian. I’ll be heading out after work to pick up my 10 copies. I love that John, and The Office are getting more and more attention these days. That’s fantastic. I posted a pic of the cover for those of you not lucky enough to live in or around Beantown.

JOHN KRASINSKI
By Jonathan Soroff for The Improper Bostonian

Having sprung to fame playing the nerdy sales rep Jim Halpert on the NBC comedy The Office, John Krasinski, 26, was born and raised in Newton and graduated from Newton South High School. After earning a degree in playwriting, with honors, from Brown, he studied at the National Theater Institute. His television credits include appearances on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Ed and Without a Trace, while his feature film experiences include Kinsey, Duane Hopwood and the recent Jake Gyllenhaal film, Jarhead, as well as the upcoming Christopher Guest movie For Your Consideration. He divides his time between New York City and Los Angeles.

Jonathan Soroff (JS): Krasinksi must be a stage name, right?
John Krasinski (JK): It is. My name was originally John Collins, but I just didn’t think it had the flair I needed. I found out the poet laureate of Poland was named Krasinski and so it seemed like a shoe-in for show business.

JS: Good thinking. Let’s play TV trivia: Sanford and Son, All in the Family, Queer as Folk and The Office. What do they all have in common?
JK: They were all adapted from English shows.

JS: Very good. But most shows taken from England are bombs. Look at that show Coupling. It was a total dog.
JK: Yeah, or that British show… what was it called? Soprani? It was about a family of soccer hooligans in a bar, and they tried to bring it over here as The Sopranos… Oh, wait. That did OK. Actually the producers of our show are the same ones who brought over Coupling.

    I would love to add that when you do not currently have an insurance policy or perhaps you do not belong to any group insurance, you will well reap the benefits of seeking the assistance of a health broker. Self-employed or people who have medical conditions commonly seek the help of any health insurance broker. Thanks for your article.
