John Krasinski caught his big break back in 2005 when he auditioned for The Office and landed the role of Jim Halpert. Since then, Krasinski has moved from the small screen to the big screen, but he hasn’t forgotten the show that started it all. And now, the actor thinks the NBC sitcom is “50x bigger” than it was a decade earlier.

John Krasinski nearly quit acting before landing ‘The Office’

When Krasinski was young, he wanted to be a teacher. However, while studying at Brown University, he transferred to a theater school to complete his credits, and ultimately realized that he had a passion for acting.

After graduation, Krasinski moved to New York City in pursuit of becoming a successful actor. However, things didn’t pan out right away. More than two years after he arrived in New York, Krasinski told his mother he was ready to come home. However, his mom convinced him to stick it out for at least the rest of that year. Only about three weeks later, Krasinski auditioned for The Office, and his life changed.

John Krasinski thinks the show is much ‘bigger’ now than it ever was

The Office ran from 2005-2013, and in that time, Krasinski and his co-stars rose to fame, even winning Emmy Awards for their TV performances. The show came to a close after nine seasons, and though it’s been close to a decade since it went off the air, it’s still one of the most-loved sitcoms of the 2000s.

These days, Krasinski is thankful for his time on the show — and he even told Jimmy Kimmel that he thinks the show has grown into something ‘bigger’ now than it ever was when new seasons were still premiering.

“I think when you’re on a show, period, you think you’ve hit the greatest thing you’re ever gonna do,” Krasinski said. “Now it’s, I think, 50x bigger.” Krasinski joked that it used to be people his age who would come up to him and ask about the show, but now it’s also “a four-year-old in an airport” coming up to him who has even seen it, too.

Krasinski feels that the show has reached a much wider audience years later than it did during its run. And he feels it makes it that much better to have been a part of it, since so many different age groups and generations have seen the show.

John Krasinski is still close to all of his co-stars

Despite that the show wrapped years ago, The Office cast has still remained good friends. Krasinski and his co-star, Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly) are still close, and the cast has reunited several times over the years.

Other cast members, such as Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey (Angela) have remained good friends; the two women have even started their own podcast. Though it has been 16 years since that pilot episode premiered, The Office still remains a major part of the cast members’ lives.

Krasinski has gone on to star on the big screen as well, specifically in “A Quiet Place” and “A Quiet Place Part II.”

Biography[change | change source]

Youtube Julia Fischer

Julia Fischer, born in Munich, is of German-Slovakian parentage. Her mother came from the German minority in Slovakia and emigrated from Košice in Slovakia to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1972. Her German father moved in the same year from Eastern Saxony to West Germany.

In fall 2004 the label PentaTone released Julia Fischer's first CD: Russian violin concertos with Yakov Kreizberg and the Russian National Orchestra.

Julia Fischer began her studies before her fourth birthday, when she received her first violin lesson from Helge Thelen; a few months later she started studying the piano with her mother Viera Fischer. Fischer said, 'my mother's a pianist and I wanted to play the piano as well, but as my elder brother also played the piano, she thought it would be nice to have another instrument in the family. I agreed to try out the violin and stayed with it.'[2] She began her formal violin education at the Leopold Mozart Conservatory in Augsburg. At the age of nine Julia Fischer went to the Munich Academy of Music.

Among the most prestigious competitions that Julia Fischer has won are the International Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition under Lord Yehudi Menuhin's supervision, where she won both the first prize and the special prize for best Bach solo work performance in 1995 and the Eighth Eurovision Competition for Young Instrumentalists in 1996, which was broadcast in 22 countries from Lisbon. In 1997 Julia Fischer was awarded the “Prix d‘Espoir” by the Foundation of European Industry. She recently had the opportunity to play Mozart's own violin in the room in which he was born at Salzburg to honour his 250th birthday.

Vivaldi Four Seasons Julia Fischer

Her repertoire (from Bach to Penderecki, from Vivaldi to Shostakovich), contains over 40 works with orchestra and about 60 works of chamber music.

Instrument[change | change source]

At the moment she plays on a Guadagnini (See link below) made in 1750 which she bought in summer 2004.[3]For four years since 2000, she had been using a Stradivarius, the 1716 Booth, on loan from Nippon Music Foundation. Before she had the Strad, she played a Guarneri del Gesù and a Gagliano. She uses two bows, one a copy of the Heifetz Tourte by the Viennese maker Thomas Gerbeth, the other a French bow which she uses when she needs to send the Tourte bow away to be rehaired.[4]

Prizes and honours[change | change source]

Julia Fischer has won five prizes for her violin playing and three prizes for her piano playing a.o. at Jugend musiziert. She won all eight competitions she entered.

  • 1995: 1st Prize at the international Yehudi Menuhin competition, in addition to a special prize, 'Best Bach Solo-work'. Music journalist Edward Greenfield said, 'I first heard Julia Fischer in 1995 as a 12-year-old in the Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition. Not only did she win outright in the junior category, she was manifestly more inspired than anyone in the senior category.'[5]

  • 2006: During the celebrations of Mozart's birthday in his hometown Salzburg, Fischer played on Mozart's violin (with Daniel Müller-Schott and Jonathan Gilad). About the event she says: 'During the first hour I couldn't play anything I wanted, because during the days of Mozart the violins were a lot shorter and I wasn't used to that'.
  • 2006: 'BBC Music Magazine Awards 2006 Best Newcomer' for the CDJohann Sebastian Bach, Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin (BWV 1001–1006). The jury said, “There are many recordings of Bach's works for solo violin but rarely do they reach such breathtaking heights of musicianship as this one. Julia Fischer is an incredible technician and soulful musician who does not let an ounce of ego come between the music and the listener.”
