A Quiet Place trailer_  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Apr 9, 2018 8:22 PM UTC A Quiet Place trailer  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Apr 9, 2018 8:22 PM UTC [John Krasinski’s](http://time.com/5233205/john-krasinski-a-quiet-place-ryan-reynolds-chris-pratt/) new movie [_A Quiet Place_](http://time.com/5228984/a-quiet-place-one-of-the-most-terrifyingly-effective-horror-movies-in-years/)may have soared to a [$50 million opening](http://time.com/5232466/a-quiet-place-box-office/) at the box office this weekend — the year’s second-best debut behind _Black Panther_ — but he’s clearly still most well-known for his role in _The Office_. The 38-year-old actor originally made a name for himself playing Jim Halpert on the NBC comedy. But while the show finished its nine-season run nearly five years ago, fans have never forgotten their favorite prankster paper salesman. Following [the release of _A Quiet Place_](http://time.com/5230649/jimmy-kimmel-john-krasinski-quiet-place-review/) — which Krasinski directed, co-wrote and stars in alongside his wife, Emily Blunt — Krasinski’s time at Dunder Mifflin began to resurge as a topic of conversation on the internet. Even [Krasinski acknowledged to TIME](http://time.com/5228564/john-krasinski-emily-blunt-a-quiet-place/) the move is kind of unexpected, saying, ““I don’t think anybody sees my name and goes, ‘That guy—I want to see a horror movie from him.'” “Just saw ‘A Quiet Place’ and about 8 minutes before the end of the movie a girl leaned over and asked her friend, ‘Is that the guy from “The Office?”‘” one Twitter user quipped to the amusement of over 38,000 of his fellow tweeters. > [](https://twitter.com/imchriskelly/status/982806305042771970) See some more _Office_\-inspired reactions below. > [](https://twitter.com/tbhOffice/status/983121741181542401) > [](https://twitter.com/Facesovpain/status/983378059423289344) > [](https://twitter.com/MicaleTyler/status/983379247942328320) > [](https://twitter.com/stylestruIy/status/983002262837526528) > [](https://twitter.com/scottIang/status/982356396204347392) > [](https://twitter.com/StEmmasFire/status/983019230458208256) ## Transcript [ SOUND ] [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] [ MUSIC ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ SOUND ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ NOISE ] [ SOUND ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5233546/a-quiet-place-reactions-john-krasinski-the-office/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5233546/a-quiet-place-reactions-john-krasinski-the-office/"},"headline":"Internet Reactions to John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Prove The Office Will Follow Him Forever","datePublished":"2018-04-09T20:22:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T09:05:33.775Z","description":"Jim Halpert forever","url":"https://time.com/5233546/a-quiet-place-reactions-john-krasinski-the-office/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","movies","Pop Culture","The Office","TV","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc12d1d334d4a2ef/69892d260a4a221eda9d258c/the-office-pam-jim.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc12d1d334d4a2ef/69892d260a4a221eda9d258c/the-office-pam-jim.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Office - Season 9","caption":"The Office - Season 9 John Krasinski","creditText":"Danny Feld/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5233546/a-quiet-place-reactions-john-krasinski-the-office/","name":"Internet Reactions to John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Prove The Office Will Follow Him Forever"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"A Quiet Place Trailer","description":"A Quiet Place trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/YdYjZm90/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-01-03T13:52:12.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/YdYjZm90.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5233546/a-quiet-place-reactions-john-krasinski-the-office/","duration":"PT2M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5233546/a-quiet-place-reactions-john-krasinski-the-office/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
