ec/dc talks to Rainn Wilson

ec/dc, a Scranton publication, got a chance to talk to Rainn Wilson (“Dwight”):

The Office may be a vehicle for Steve Carell but some would say that the real star is Rainn Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute, the sycophantic No. 2 to Carell’s cluelessly self-important branch manager. ec/dc caught up with him in Vancouver, where he’s currently shooting an E.T.-esque family film called Mimzy. Wilson made a pair of calls to Scranton — he was interrupted by an emergency page to the set, and by his 1 1/2-year-old son Walter — to chat about the “cult of Dwight.”

Thanks to Life in the Office for the tip!

Rainn’s wacky wit

While checking out NBC’s redesigned Office videos area, I decided to watch the interview clips again.

The entire cast of The Office is pretty funny, but no one beats Rainn Wilson (“Dwight Schrute”) for the wackiest off-the-cuff answers!

Check out his answer to the question, “What would happen to Dwight if Rainn got to write the episode?”

…I think that I would love to have Dwight win a contest on Rock 107 and win a, a trip to visit the set of “Battlestar Galactica,” where he meets his dream girl, Starbuck, played by Katee Sackhoff.

And he’s…maybe starts to stalk her, maybe too much, and gets thrown off the set and maybe, they shoot in Vancouver, so I end up like in a Canadian jail, with a hobo named…Ronny. And uh, Angela has to come and bail me out in Canadian dollars.

And then we ride the rails back to Scranton and um, learn a lot about ourselves.

Something like that might be good.

Yeah, I’ll say! :)
