Almost as good as a fashion show at lunch.
During the Rainn Wilson & Friends benefit this weekend in Seattle, Rainn walked onto the floor of the theater to lead the audience in a special Happy Birthday song to Craig Robinson — his birthday is today, October 25. (Warning: NSFW for profanity)
How cute is that? Love the signature Dwight Schrute kick at the end.
I’ve had this song in my head all morning. :)
Happy Birthday, Craig!

Put the most attractive beets on top. The ones that make you pull the car over and go, “Wow, I need this beet right now.” Those are the money beets.

The Office’s Rainn Wilson appears in the video for Ferraby Lionheart’s single “Harry And Bess,” from his newest album The Jack of Hearts available today.
According to ferrabylionheart.com, this song is “about Harry Houdini and his wife. The story goes that Bess Houdini passed a key to Harry in a kiss (after an hour of struggling at a widely publicized 1904 escape).”
What’s Rainn doing in the video? “Wilson plays a ‘strange and menacing butler [who] tries to distract and entertain’ Lionheart’s ‘daydreaming artist’ character.” (Spin.com)
This is one toe-tapping, quirky, charming song. I loved it. And Rainn isn’t bad either. :)

The Office’s Rainn Wilson participated in a San Diego Comic-Con panel this weekend for his movie ‘Super,’ written and directed by James Gunn and co-starring Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, and Nathan Fillion.
According to the official film website, “Super is a hyper-real and shockingly funny look at the extremely violent antics of a down-on-his luck man’s (Rainn Wilson) attempt to win his wife (Liv Tyler) back from a glamourous drug dealer (Kevin Bacon) by teaming up with a psychopathic teen (Ellen Page) and becoming costumed crime fighters.”
Rainn describes how he became involved with the movie (from Geeks of Doom):
Wilson shares a story about being on the set of The Office, where he plays Dwight and works with Jenna Fischer (Gunn’s ex-wife). Fischer was on the phone with Gunn while Wilson happened to be standing nearby, and when Gunn asked her what he should make next, she told him it should be Super because it’s “the best script you’ve ever written.” Not knowing any actors fitting the lead role, he asked her who could play it and of course she said “What about Rainn Wilson?” At this time Wilson apparently went back to his little cubicle where there was already an e-mail from Gunn with the script, which he got 27-pages into before calling the director and saying “I’m in. We have to make this movie. I have to play this character.”
Another report of the event at Collider.com.
During the Q&A session, a fan asked who would win in a fight between Dwight Schrute and Fillion’s Captain Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly. Here’s what ensued:
