I’ll make him work for it.\u00a0I might be one of those persnickety actors that doesn’t always agree, or won’t come out of my trailer,” Carell quipped. “You think you hired somebody that is a friend, but you got that wrong!”<\/span><\/p>\n IF\u00a0<\/span><\/em>also stars Fiona Shaw and the voices of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the late Louis Gossett Jr.,\u00a0Alan Kim, Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas and many more as the wonderfully unique characters that reflect the incredible power of a child’s imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n That isn’t where\u00a0<\/span>The Office<\/span><\/em>\u00a0callbacks end, either!\u00a0A\u00a0<\/span>Super Bowl LVIII promo video for the film<\/a> featured\u00a0<\/span>Randall Park<\/a>\u00a0recreating his infamous role as “Asian Jim” from the season 9 episode, “Andy’s Ancestry.”<\/span><\/p>\n In the spot, Park sits next to Reynolds, telling the actor, “I’m John Krasinski, director of the upcoming film,\u00a0<\/span>IF<\/span><\/em>.” As Park begins to explain what the film is about, Reynolds exclaims, “You’re not John Krasinski!”<\/span><\/p>\n The bit is a nod to a famous prank on\u00a0<\/span>The Office<\/span><\/em>, in which Park’s Steve pretends to be Krasinski’s Jim to mess with Dwight (Rainn Wilson).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
