rainn was absolutely delightful in 6 Feet Under...he is so underrated as an actor, but he has so much range and talent. he IS a comedic genius but much more than that!
I would say he was like the second most brilliant thing beside Steve Carell was Rainn Wilson’s portrayal of Dwight. He did a lot of the heavy, lifting of just hilarious stuff. I mean he was basically the main character of the office.
I love artists. If for no other reason than for finding new ways to be fulfilled that ultimately rob you of basic satisfaction and fulfillment. There’s nothing like getting what you wanted to reveal the true consequences of the thing, violating informed consent. There’s like a weird vortex at the end of every creative project where it either fails or it succeeds in some horrible way. I have nothing but compassion and love for everybody that continues to live the horror of being successful in ways that are uncomfortable and awkward. They make our lives better and get very little of what they need in return. And That’s why we pay them. We pay them so it’s okay when their success is a kaleidoscope fractal of shit you’ve moved on from.
I fucking love Rainn Wilson but I also don't get why someone with a vision hasn't been like let's scoop this guy up and make him play someone who's so unlike Dwight that it'll knock everyones tits off
Rainn is far from the first successful person with feelings of frustration (or for some, even resentment) toward the thing that made them a success. "A gilded cage". He's self-aware enough to know that he ultimately is fortunate, and made pains in this very clip to make that clear, but he's also being honest that there is an element of frustration. It's a natural human feeling to want more, or at least to experience something different and new.
I mean IDK, but I would think for an actor,I understand that you want to be diverse, but to be able to have an iconic role that everyone knows you from is,.... legacy.
Who cares if all he's known as it Dwight? Look at Chaim Topol, he made an entire carrier out of Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof. Wilson could get work for the rest of his life playing Dwight, and that's ultimately the deffinition of a sucessful actor, one who has work.
Love you Neal. You’re such a legit legend and I wanna thank you for all the incredible inspiration and insight I’ve gained over the years of being such a fan of yours! My name is Johnny Arson and I’d really like to interview you some day. I’m high-functioning Autistic and I I’m a savant. My only 2 things are comedy and Hip-Hop You’d enjoy the sit down I promise you. Just remember the name Johnny Arson and I’ll be looking forward to that day! 💯✊
Appreciate and respect the heck out of you for calling Rainn's bullsnizz. He was so caught off guard by that. Need more real interviewers like this. His plight is no different than that of Daniel Radcliffe. Their break through characters were so moneumental in popluar culture, how could they ever hope to escape those shadows. There needs to be a lot more gratitude for getting to have that experience that so many of us will never have. If everyone wins the lottery, the win doesn't mean anything
I think Rainn needs to shit or get off the pot at this point. He doesn't want to be Dwight forever and he wants to be himself... great no one gives a shit besides his mom. Now go do something great that makes me forget about that fact about him cause we don't give 2 shits.
Rainn did such an exceptional job playing Dwight. He was such a unique character and you don't see that very often.
True.
Hands down he was the best, the main reason I watched The Office. I wish he got more character parts in movies.
I love the honesty of this show.

I love that Rainn Wilson knows and likes The Stone Roses
I wanna be adored!!!

Well said. 🎉
Rainn was so good as Dwight
I thought he was going to continue as Dwight in a spin off. Like Fraser
It would be incredible to see him return as dwight 20 years later.
Yeah they almost did but the idea was awful
Episode 9.17 of the offices was the pilot, essentially. "The Farm"
Frasier
I fucking love Rainn Wilson but I also don't get why someone with a vision hasn't been like let's scoop this guy up and make him play someone who's so unlike Dwight that it'll knock everyones tits off
You are perfect the way you are Rainn. I love you❤️
This guy is awesome. I am watching The Office for the first time. Dwight is always stealing the spotlight 😂
I first saw him in Six Feet Under and I loved Backstrom! He’s Rainn to me not Dwight.
I first saw him in that bonkers Rob Zombie movie.
Totally agree
I'll watch anything with rainn in it, he's fantastic and elevates even the most mediocre things by his mere presence.

Loved him in Hesher ❤
He'll always be Dwigt to me
Remarkable actor.
This is still the most underrated podcast of awl time.
I mean IDK, but I would think for an actor,I understand that you want to be diverse, but to be able to have an iconic role that everyone knows you from is,.... legacy.
I only see Rainn Wilson as Macbeth. Sorry, but I do.
I don't really watch the office. But I enjoyed his turn on MOM. But he's done some interesting things.
Change the clothes, glasses and hair and I won't see Dwight at all.
Rainn will always be Jack Morris to me 😉 IYKYK
Everyone loves Dwight, obsessed as Dwight blah blah blah. But I'm like OMG it's fishboy! Then again, I'm a horror fan.
Funny enough, I've never watched the office. I just know him as Fish..
That's how Michael Richards felt when he was seen as Kramer... even after his cancellation, he was still called Kramer over Michael Richards
I'm not from the USA, why he'd get cancelled?
He got into it with some hecklers and started blasting the room with N-word bombs. It went viral @@AdolfGOhomE
@@AdolfGOhomEhe made an unfortunate attempt at doing stand-up
I'll always see him as "Fishboy".
......and Dwight.
but not the billionare moron in The Meg? lol
this looks like a rolf and dwight podcast

Being seen as Dwight is not a real life problem.
Is this interviewer sometimes NOT a richard?
Wealthy because of 1 role is hard to be sad for....

Schrute? Or Dwight Eisenhower?
The Saw franchise eclipses Hannibal in terms of anti-hero franchising, but solid point.
Sorry, lost me with all the f bombs. No, definitely not a "prude" , they just takes it down a notch.
Oh no I'm mainly known for one of the best characters and shows of all time what shall I doooooooo
He clearly resents people for only seeing him in his big role. Tough shit dude. Be glad role like you for anything.
Calm down, angry dad. He clearly explained that he was grateful for the role and he didn't resent anything.
This show should be called “Neil shreds a celebrity’s ego”
All he does is whine about everything.
I think Rainn needs to shit or get off the pot at this point. He doesn't want to be Dwight forever and he wants to be himself... great no one gives a shit besides his mom. Now go do something great that makes me forget about that fact about him cause we don't give 2 shits.
Such a talented guy no matter the role
I didn't watch the office and he's the guy from the best Abrahamic religion to me.
B'hai?
