Revealing that he gets told that he looks and acts like Jim “every day,” [TikTok user Wavy McGrady](https://www.tiktok.com/@wavymcgrady) recently kicked off his [John Krasinski](https://time.com/collection/most-influential-people-2018/5238188/john-krasinski/) lookalike tour by recreating the season 7 scene in which Dwight (Rainn Wilson) asks Jim to be on his best behavior when Jo Bennett (Kathy Bates) stops by Dunder Mifflin to see how Dwight is doing as the acting manager of the Scranton branch. Using the original audio from the episode, McGrady acts out Jim’s part of the exchange while rocking everyone’s favorite sales guy’s signature button down shirt, tie and tousled hair look. McGrady went on to do the same with the season 5 scene in which Pam (Jenna Fischer) calls Jim from New York to ask him why none of their coworkers have congratulated her on their engagement. “I bought this phone from Goodwill cuz everyone asked me to do more here you go,” he captioned the video, which has been liked nearly 293,000 times. We can only hope that McGrady plans to continue this hilarious new doppelgänger gig. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5764019/the-office-jim-halpert-lookalike-tiktok/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5764019/the-office-jim-halpert-lookalike-tiktok/"},"headline":"Guy Who Is a Dead Ringer for The Office's Jim Halpert Is Really Leaning in Hard","datePublished":"2020-01-13T20:35:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:12.442Z","description":"It's like watching The Office all over again","url":"https://time.com/5764019/the-office-jim-halpert-lookalike-tiktok/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","viral","The Office","TV","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt69c2e362ef51ffe3/69892cf5656a3f657abd4136/the-office-jim-dwight-michael.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/blt69c2e362ef51ffe3/69892cf5656a3f657abd4136/the-office-jim-dwight-michael.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Office","caption":"The Office","creditText":"Chris Haston/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/5764019/the-office-jim-halpert-lookalike-tiktok/","name":"Guy Who Is a Dead Ringer for The Office's Jim Halpert Is Really Leaning in Hard"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Office TV Series 2005 Season 1 Trailer","description":"The Office TV Series 2005 Season 1 Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/7Hctjscs/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2020-01-14T14:22:15.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/7Hctjscs.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5764019/the-office-jim-halpert-lookalike-tiktok/","duration":"PT1M","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5764019/the-office-jim-halpert-lookalike-tiktok/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
