“When they called me and said I got the role, I said, ‘Who’s Jim – did you cast John Krasinski?’ They said, ‘Yes’ and I started crying because I knew it would be good. And I mean this honestly – I can’t do Pam without him. In the way you need the right partner to have a great marriage, I needed the right costar to have this relationship.”
