the Howard Hawks and the Preston Sturges movies and how punchy they are. George refers to it best as a front-foot when you’re acting rather than a back-foot which like The Office is very reactionary, it’s very living through the present moment whereas this type of acting style is being ready for the words and you almost respond before the other person said their line. But the other thing it showed you was the type of film George was making which is my favorite part about this film. The way my dad talks about movies that he’s seen like Butch Cassidy or something like that, his eyes will turn and he’ll get nostalgic about the moment that he saw that movie. Back then it was entertaining and it was like a whole new place you got to transport to a different place. And now there are political movies and action movies, there’s a lot of cutting and it’s very manipulative in a good way or a bad way.

That’s that thing, they always remember their first day and I think that’s what makes them such great stars.” Working closely with Clooney also allowed Krasinski to observe the way he handled the dual roles of actor and director. “Clooney the actor is way nicer,” Krasinski jokes. “In both arenas, the similarities are that he’s incredibly focused and he’s just so good at what he does. He’s very well-composed, he’s very confident. It was funny to watch Clooney the actor being directed by Clooney the director because one of the biggest differences which he would hate but I loved was he had to do a football scene where he got hit really hard and then he runs back to the screen to look at it and while he’s looking at it he’s praying that it looks good so he doesn’t have to do it again.
