Rainn Wilson says, be yourself

Backstage.com interviews several actors, including The Office’s Rainn Wilson, on the importance of being true to oneself in Hollywood:

Wilson, who describes himself as “pudgy and a little bit odd, but strangely sexy and alluring at the same time,” admits that in the beginning of his career he, too, struggled with trying to fit himself into someone else’s ideal. “I had my earliest agent in New York telling me that I had to get my teeth fixed and I needed to lift weights to go for leading-man types of roles,” he recalls.

The Office trailer video on Xbox 360

Xbox 360 is offering a behind-the-scenes trailer of The Office, available only in its Xbox Live Marketplace. Here is a short article about it.

I got the opportunity to view this video (thanks, Greg!), and even though it’s only about three minutes long, it’s pretty precious.

In it, Steve Carell, Leslie David Baker, and Jenna Fischer all recount their favorite moments from Season 2. (Hint: Jenna’s favorite moment is not from Casino Night.)

And oh, there’s a really cute 2-second shot of Jenna and Angela Kinsey.
