John Krasinski lends his vocal talents to the character of young Lancelot in Shrek the Third. A dynamic young actor who has caught the eye of this generation's most exciting directors, such as Sam Mendes and Bill Condon, Krasinski is quickly making his mark in both film and television.

Krasinski recently appeared in Christopher Guest's comedy For Your Consideration and will also appear in License to Wed opposite Robin Williams and Mandy Moore.
