Shrek the Third: John Krasinski
Shrek the Third features scads of new cast members — including Justin Timberlake as a would-be-king and Amy Sedaris as Cinderella — but none makes us happier than John Krasinski. Come May 18, EW’s favorite Dunder Mifflinite will trade jousting with Dwight Schrute for just plain jousting as Lancelot. Ever gallant, Krasinski was kind enough to tilt with a few of our queries.EW: How does it feel to board the Shrek train?
JK: Well, it’s a tiny little franchise that I think is really going to catch on. It’s gonna be a big deal for DreamWorks. Seriously, it’s a blast. As a kid I always wanted to be a cartoon more than anything else. And I got my chance.EW: But you had a small voice part in Doogal, didn’t you?
JK: Dammit! You found out! But I have a feeling that Shrek might do a little better.EW: So what’s the deal with Lancelot?
JK: Well, here’s what happens: Shrek is asked to be King of Far Far Away and he doesn’t want to be, so they have to go to the next closest heir, which is Fiona’s cousin Artie.EW: But he’s a teenager, right?
JK: He’s still in high school. It’s basically The Sword in the Stone meets The Breakfast Club. And Lancelot is a jerk. He’s the jock who thinks he’s the hottest thing since fire.EW: But you’ve always played the nice guy.
JK: It’s all a front. I’m really a pompous ass.
awww…i love jk so much! he’s just completely amazing…why can’t more men be like him?

20 | leslie Sun. Apr. 22, 2007 at 1:14pmWow, I just realized that one can make that a total J-Kras weekend. Office finale on the 17th, “Shrek 3″ on the 18th, then you can go rent “Dreamgirls” which comes out on May 1 and enjoy his 3 minute scene in that one.
19 | CH Sun. Apr. 22, 2007 at 10:32amHmmm…I think I just got made my plans for the weekend of May 17-19…
That website is HORRIBLE. That huge banner/header that you have to scroll past is very annoying. I couldn’t stay long before I got irritated. *sigh* And I DO love JKras.

17 | DelegateFromIceland Sat. Apr. 21, 2007 at 11:16pmI’m having a hard time deciding whether I’d rather be the horse on the stick, or the baby carrier.
16 | Pretendonitis Sat. Apr. 21, 2007 at 7:17pmHaha, Becky, I was totally thinking the same thing (but then again, you know all my thoughts on the wonder that is JK).
