Rainn Wilson: TV Guide News

The Office's Rainn Wilson Is Ready to Rock… Naked | Today's News: Our Take | 8/20/2008
The first thing you have to wonder as Rainn Wilson — aka The Office's Dwight Schrute — disappears into his big-screen role as The Rocker (in theaters today), is whether he boasts a wealth of experience as a music man. "I got to thankfully live through the shortest-lived high school band ever, Collected Moss," he shares. "We played two gigs. One was for a batch of 11-year-olds, and the other was for a battle of the bands which we didn't even get into." "That," he emphasizes, "is how bad we were." Nonetheless, Wilson says it just took two sticks and a kit to find his rhythm as Robert "Fish" Fishman, an almost-very famous drummer who begrudgingly joins his teenaged nephew's band. "The first thing I started to do was take drum lessons, and that totally opened my mind to who this guy was," says Wilson. "When you dru read more
A Special Semi-Threatening Message from Rainn Wilson | Celebrity Blogs | 8/16/2008
Hey Office friends!

We are back in production! Season 5 has begun. It's going really well. I am mean it! I am not that drunk.

I want to pass along a letter from my friend and co worker, the great Rainn Wilson. I don't normally pimp people out but Rainn is very persuasive, making just a few threats. ( Just ask the kidnapped Jenna Fischer.)

VIDEO: What Would Dwight Schrute Watch? | Today's News: Our Take | 8/6/2008
Yes, Dwight Schrute watches television — and he's got a lot of opinions about it. At the Teen Choice awards, Schrute's real-life alter ego, Rainn Wilson, divulged what his Office character would tune into, and it's not all sci-fi (though Battlestar Galactica is, of course, on the list). According to Wilson, Schrute opts for anything about bears and for the manlier programs out there, much like Michael Scott might. read more

Rainn Wilson: A Dwangela Baby Would Be "Awesome" | Today's News: Our Take | 7/22/2008
Out promoting The Rocker, a big-screen comedy in which he plays a coulda-been metal-band star (hitting theaters Aug. 20), Rainn Wilson set the record straight on what NBC's spin-off of The Office is, and what it isn't.First clarifying an old rumor that his Dwight was to front the follow-up, Wilson explained why that was never the case: "No. 1, they would never break up a formula that's already working. No. 2, they cast Amy Poehler [as the lead]. And No. 3, it's not going to be a spin-off per se." In fact, all that is known about the Poehler vehicle at this early stage is that it is being developed by Office scribes Michael Schur and Greg Daniels. Period.As to what Dwight will be up to, Wilson shrugged, "I have no idea," having yet to spy a single Season 5 script. That said, he told TVGuide.com that the notion of Angela bearing Dwight a Schrute yout' — as was speculated when scene partner Angela Kinsey became pregnant in real life — "would be brilliant... awesome. You shoul... read more
