That was also the year when the highly acclaimed horror A Quiet Place – which he directed, produced, co-wrote and co-starred in with real-life wife Emily Blunt – managed to take in over $340 million worldwide.
(To the point where it was renewed for a third season eight months before Season 2 premiered.)
And few have any doubts that the horror sequel will be any less popular, so 2020 will likely be just as big of a year for Krasinski as 2018 was.
That all led up to the year 2018, when John Krasinski made his global debut as the latest iteration of Tom Clancy’s classic analyst and field office, Jack Ryan, for a show that has been a boon for Amazon.
