The USO and the show "Jack Ryan" released a two-minute video on Twitter, December 20, 2022, documenting actors John Krasinski and Michael Kelly's visit to Little Creek-Fort Story in Norfolk, Va. in November.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Actors John Krasinski and Michael Kelly ride a hovercraft and applaud Navy and Marine Corps music students in a video released Tuesday of their recent visit to Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story.

The two stars of the TV series "Jack Ryan" were at the Virginia Beach base last month for a special advanced screening of the first two episodes of the show's new season, which was released Wednesday.

The video, which was posted on Twitter by The USO, shows the actors greeting service members, signing autographs, taking a ride on a Landing Craft Air Cushion and listening to a rendition of 'The Office" theme song performed by a band at the Naval School of Music.

Krasinski is most well-known for his role as the character of Jim in the NBC series. 

"This is 100% our favorite part of this job," Krasinski says in the video.

Before the screening event at the Gator Theater, both men are shown taking the stage and continuing to express their thanks. Krasinski tells the crowd that he comes from a miltary family and is honored to shed light on what the miltary does.

"We don't get to do what we do, playing make-believe, without you fighting for our freedom to do whatever we want in this great country," Kelly says in the video.
