In retrospect, it's shocking that John Krasinski thought he needed another job after landing his role on "The Office" — it would, of course, be the very role that would skyrocket him to fame as a major Hollywood star. But the actor has previously revealed his initial doubts about the success of the sitcom before; in fact, he also mentioned his surprising side gig on his YouTube show "Some Good News" in 2020, while talking to "The Office" co-star Steve Carell.
"I was a waiter when I got that job," Krasinski said (via Insider). "I was 23 years old, I was a waiter, and after the pilot I went back to waiting tables because I was sure nothing was going to happen with it. And we all kinda came into it with that vibe. I remember that none of us had done anything huge."
Thankfully, Krasinski probably didn't have to hold on that waiting job much longer, as "The Office" went on to be a huge hit — and, as we all know, one of the best and most popular TV shows we know today. Honestly, we can't imagine it any other way!
