So yesterday Rainn was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and me and my friend went down to NBC and figured we would try to meet him.
We saw him leaving and he couldn't have been nicer. The minute I said: Rainn? he came right over and talked to my friend and I. I had the Office PUMA ads for him to sign and he thought they were really cool, and he took pictures with me and my friend. He thanked us and said it was great meeting us too.
Rainn was nothing like Dwight K. Schrute. He even somewhat smiled in the picture!

Very cool. My friend and I tried to see Rainn when he was on the Tonight Show, but we didn't make it in. It totally ruined the day.
Wow- what a cool opportinuty for you. I liked the pics. Thanks for including them.
Just one more reason to admire all of the folks at The Office. The friendly and accessible cast and crew really make it worth supporting this fantastic show.
That's so awesome! Did anyone catch the show? Are there any videos of it out there, I didn't realize he was on.
I had no idea there was a thread for this. e-star, you have to move you're whole discussion over here before Brian finds out. (<----Anque was being ferocious here.)
What if you aren't scheduled to meet Rainn Wilson until November? Where would you post that?
One more thing I forgot to mention: Rainn hates the Lakers. Someone asked whether he was going to root for the Lakers or the Celtics, and he said the Celtics because he hates the Lakers and Kobe Bryant should be spanked like the baby he is (his near exact wording).
I heart Rainn. I am so glad he said that.
Also, someone posted about this Rainn thing that you went to over here and they mentioned Rainn saying this:
The Office spin off series will feature no one from the original show (no one who works in the office)
Is that true? I thought the actors didn't know what the spinoff was about. This makes me happy but I remember they were saying before that the spinoff would focus on someone leaving the office.
They may not know what the spinoff is about, but I bet they'd know if they were going to have a role in it, and I bet they've all been talking about it with each other.
If there aren't any characters in the office going to the new show, how is it a spin-off? What are they spinning off? The parking lot?
What are they spinning off? The parking lot?
That would be a melodrama, no?
It's a story about the four families, I just know it. It will be life in the office...with the mob.
The parking lot?
What a great potential title! The Parking Lot of Doom!
It could be an anthology series, like Twilight Zone. Every week different people could wander into the PLoD and have their dearest hopes and dreams shattered.
How about Poor Richard's?
Maybe they get a leading actor to play the bars owner. He used to play ball for the Cleveland Indians, but didn't make it big. Around the bar is a pretty interesting mix of characters, including a portly guy named Lorne, a Fed Ex employee named Biff, and a curmudgeonly waitress named Marla. Maybe there's a love interest with the main guy, named Dan, and another one of the waitresses, named Vianne. Oh, also, there'd be a brainiac psychiatrist played by Frasier Crane.

Fixed that for ya.
A person could have both. You don't have to rescind one to qualify for the other.
The Office spin off series will feature no one from the original show (no one who works in the office)
I'm not going to take that as a gospel until an official announcement is made.
I remember the question that girl asked. Yes, he said that no one from the show is leaving (or something to that effect). He went to Tufts for undergrad then got his MFA in acting at NYU's Tisch Scool of the Arts. If he has an MBA, he didn't mention it, but I don't think he does. And he was very distracted...he kept changing the subject and interrupting himself...he blamed his Starbucks drink.
Did he get up to go to the bathroom a lot?
I hope someone got him a cranberry juice...with vodka.
NYU's Tisch Scool of the Arts
My little brother is starting there in the fall. It's his third college in three years.
