John Krasinski once had the creator and writers on The Office wigging out over the possibility of him needing to shave his head for a movie role.

But Kim M. Ferry, who served as the hairstylist on the hit show for eight seasons, told Mashable that she and Kraskinski were able to pull off a hair-raising stunt.

Krasinski, who played Jim Halpert in the series, had to cut his hair before the last six episodes of Season 3 in order to star in the film Leatherheads.Greg Daniels, the creator and showrunner of the U.S. version of The Office, didnt want Krasinski shaving his head and told him to turn down the role.

Instead, the actor devised a plan to have Kerry outfit him with a wig, unbeknownst to the cast and crew.

He paid for the wig a human hair wig made by a friend of mine, Natascha Ladek, whos the best wig maker in town, Ferry told Mashable.

[Krasinski] came in a little later that day, and I had the wig hidden in a little secret spot ready for him. When it was just him and I, I put it on him, and then he went out and filmed, Kerry said, adding that she felt like her helping was putting her job at risk.
