#17- He found it extremely difficult to keep in character while in scenes with Steve Carell.Īs all ‘Office’ fans know, Steve Carell is the king of comedy acting. The total ranges somewhere between $7,000 – $10,000.

Related article: Hollywood Insider’s CEO Pritan Ambroase: “The Importance of Venice Film Festival as the Protector of Cinema” He’s felt this way ever since he first tried on his mustard-colored short-sleeved shirt and nerdy glasses. #15- When describing Dwight’s wardrobe, he joked, “I kind of feel like my grandmother could play Dwight.” Wilson joked in a panel discussion that he wanted to imitate Mackenzie Crook’s performance as Gareth (UK Dwight equivalent) perfectly, but unfortunately, he’s not good at imitating. While Steve Carell avoided watching episodes of the British version of the show to avoid copying Ricky Gervais’ performance as David Brent, Wilson, John Krasinski (Jim Halpert), and Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone) all watched the entire series. #14- He watched all the episodes of the UK version of ‘The Office’ before he began shooting as Dwight.Īctors in the US version of ‘The Office’ were in two different camps when it came to the British version of the show. Stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan was another contender. Perhaps the most famous of the Dwight contenders during the audition process for ‘The Office’ was none other than comedic heavyweight Seth Rogen. That would’ve been a very different series… Fortunately, the casting director saw that he was meant to be Dwight, and the rest is history.
#12- He originally auditioned to be Michael Scott in ‘The Office.’ It’s funny, I can almost picture him in the role of Gob Bluth, but obviously, I’m glad he took his role as our favorite ‘Office’ wanna-be badass instead. Wilson might have traded in his mustard-colored shirt and tactically placed in-office pepper spray for a set of magic cards and a one-way ticket to “ladies man’s anonymous”.
#11- He also was considered for a role in ‘ Arrested Development.’

On top of that, he has one of the best lines in the entire movie, “Face it kiddo your eggo is preggo.” Rainn Wilson makes a surprise cameo as a convenience store clerk who prods a bit too deeply into Juno’s personal life in one of the first scenes of the movie. ‘Juno’ is everyone’s favorite lighthearted comedy about a teenager grappling with growing up, getting pregnant, and giving up her baby to a stranger… wow, it sounds like a particularly dark episode of ‘ Degrassi ’ when you describe the plot that way. #9- He made the most amazing cameo in ‘ Juno.’
