Actor John Krasinski, 45, says he's interested in appearing on the upcoming Office spinoff series, The Paper.
During a May 20 interview with Extra TV, Krasinski, who famously played prankster Jim Halpert in The Office for 12 seasons, said he'd be happy to film a cameo for the new series if given the chance.
“Done! If they ask me, I’m in," said Krasinski during the interview.
Krasinski also shared he is looking forward to watching The Paper, which is co-created by Greg Daniels, who was a developer, writer, and showrunner for The Office.
“I'm excited to see what they do with it. It's such an amazing idea, and listen if Greg [Daniels] is behind it, we're all in," said Krasinski to the publication.
In addition, Krasinski said he's so happy that his Fountain of Youth castmate Domhnall Gleeson is starring in The Paper.
"And you can't get a better actor than [Domhnall] to take on the mantle. He's so, so great. He's going to be so perfect for it, and we'll probably start doing watch parties again just to watch them," said Krasinski during the Extra TV interview.
While speaking to Screen Rant in May 2025, Krasinski said Gleeson was nervous to talk to him about joining the cast of The Office spinoff series, which is set to premiere in September 2025.
"We were in Cairo [filming Fountain of Youth] when he told me about it. And he was adorably nervous to talk to me about it. He was like, 'I think I might do this thing. What do you think?'" said Krasinski.
According to Krasinski, he and his Office castmate Steve Carell encouraged Gleeson to star in The Paper.
"If Greg Daniels is involved, and he's excited, then get on board. Because Greg is the heart and soul of that show. And we all followed Greg anywhere. And still would," said Krasinski to Screen Rant.
During a May 20 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gleeson shared the Carell and Krasinski encouraged him to work with Daniels for The Paper, which will air on Peacock. In addition, the actor said he hoped fans of The Office will enjoy the new series.
"It's own thing, but it's got love and laughs in the same way. So I hope people like it when it comes out," said Gleeson to the publication.
