Ask John Krasinski

I know you - or rather, I have worked with someone like Jim on every job I've had. How much of you is in Jim - or have you worked with him, too?

What is your favorite episode of The Office?

What's it like working with the cast of The Office? Is there a lot of improvisation that goes on between you, "Dwight" and "Michael"?

The funny expressions that Jim gives to the camera on "The Office" often say much more than the words -- have those always been scripted? How much did you influence them?

The British version of The Office ended after two seasons, following the tradition of relatively short timelines for British sitcoms. The US version of The Office has been successful for five seasons. Do you think there will be a time to bow out graciously? Will you leave before it becomes drawn-out?

Are you as sweet in real life as you seem on The Office?

My son is an aspriring actor. What advice would you give him?

Do you feel like the writers get enough credit for their work on The Office? And writers in general? (ie. Liz Lemon in 30 Rock if you watch that show- with the whole "deal breaker" situation)

Did you every believe when you started acting that you would become so famous? Why did you start acting in the first place?

What do you think about young hollywood and all the scandals that go on?

Is there an office supply you can't live without?

So many of the characters on the show got started in improv...How much of the show is scripted and how much is ad-libbed?

Michael Scott experienced a business triumph with sharp negotiating of a buyout for his paper company from D-M corporate. Do you think the character could benefit from more such business triumphs, even if he's a doofus in his personal life? There needs to be a clear business justification for his still leading the Scranton branch, doesn't there?

Would like to know when THE PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES will be back on the cover, maybe even MICHELLE AND THE GIRLS.

You guys are doing a great job. How many "TIMES" has it been now, 35 since Feb? I just can't get enough of it.

Four years in, you guys still have amazing street cred with the comedy snobs like me out there. Every great show seems to "jump the shark," but you guys have managed to avoid it. What's your secret?

Jim seems to be simultaneously held back in his work-life and loved by the viewing public for his humility and likeability; do you think this is a worthy trade-off? and could he even be described as a role model for a generation disillusioned by capitalist ethics?

Did growing up in a close-knit family and having relatives from cities like Pittsburgh, with strong Midwestern values, have an effect on the movie and television roles you choose?

First of all I'd like to say I love "The Office." What are the importatnt elements of comedy found on "The Office" that other shows lack?

How much do you ad lib on the office? More importantly, how do you not laugh out loud a lot during takes... I thought this season was the best yet!

When are you going to start dating Jenna Fischer in real life!?

Do you think the media and our culture gives too much attention and credit to celebrities and actors? In your opinion who are good role models for young boys and girls?

I have 4 questions for anyone who can answer them.
1. Why do Preachers believe in getting married and the Priests, Nuns
and Monks don't?
2. If Religious people believe that Jesus is their savior and when
they die they will go to Heaven then what happened to all the
people before Jesus was born?
3. If getting married and having children is God's way then why was
Jesus and his 12 men single virgins like the Priests are?
4. Why do people create birthdefects and deformaties?
