How to watch all John Krasinski’s shows and movies: A journey from Jim Halpert to Jack Ryan
John Krasinski is accepting one last mission as Jack Ryan in the fourth and final season of the Tom Clancy spy-thriller series, which comes to an end with the final two episodes on Friday, July 14, 2023. But Jack Ryan’s heroic lead actor wasn’t always the ripped, ready-for-anything rescuer from the likes of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Bengazhi and A Quiet Place, in fact, he used to just be just another adorkable paper salesman. Since departing Dunder Mifflin, the lovable comedic actor has totally transformed into an action hero (with much better hair). From playing the protective father in the Quiet Place franchise to literal super hero Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic) in the MCU.
So how did Jim Halpert become Jack Ryan? Let’s recap. We went back through John Krasinski’s biggest roles to trace his journey from goofball to gunslinger. Here’s a timeline of Krasinski’s career, plus where to watch all his greatest hits.

John Krasinski's career timeline: From Jim Halpert to Jack Ryan
Krasinski launched his career playing floppy-haired paper salesman Jim Halpert and got stuck moonlighting in a cycle of playing small, forgettable parts; silly, unserious characters; or just plain old simple Good Guys for roughly the duration of his time on The Office. In his final years as Jim Halpert, Krasinski transitioned into playing more complicated characters before diving headfirst into Action Hero mode with 13 Hours. Nowadays, Krasinski’s spending some time with Doctor Strange in the MCU and finishing out his stint as Jack Ryan.
What's next for John Krasinski? The multihyphenate appears to be stepping away from his recent action hero antics, for now... Krasinski is returning to his comedy roots next with the movie If, which he wrote, directed and stars in alongside Matt Damon, Jon Stewart, Emily Blunt, Maya Rudolph, Sam Rockwell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and, wait for it: Steve Carell. The family film isn't set to come out until 2024, so in the meantime, why not revisit some of his past performances?
