Jim Halpert

In the quiet chaos of a small-town paper company, Jim Halpert emerges as a droll observer of the absurdities around him. Portrayed with such subtlety by John Krasinski, Jim represents the common man who resides in a world governed by nonsensical corporate policies and eccentric coworkers.
