Actor John Krasinski Takes Stock Of His 'Lottery-Ticket Life'
Actor John Krasinski spent 2 1/2 years in New York trying to get his acting career off the ground. After landing a few commercials and some "off- off- off-Broadway" plays, he was about to call it quits. But his mother encouraged him to stick it out a little while longer, and three weeks later, he landed the role of Jim on The Office. (Matt Sayles/Invision/AP)
