A Rainny day on the set of ‘The Office’

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 | 13 comments

As you may know, The Office’s Rainn Wilson celebrates his birthday today!

Kim, ‘The Office’ department head hair, just sent me this email and photo:

“Here’s a little shot I just took on set. We have sung to Rainn twice today already!

Once on set … and just now, in our little ‘touch up’ area while Peter (our craft service guy who loves Rainn) proudly carried in a beautiful birthday cake as cast and crew sang again.

What a nice way to brighten up this very rainy day in LA.”

Awwwww. Happy Birthday, Rainn!

The Office cast at CNN Heroes tribute

Monday, November 23rd, 2009 | 4 comments

The Office’s Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson, Kate Flannery, and Creed Bratton attended ‘CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute’ on Saturday night.

Jenna says:

CNN Heroes honors 10 ordinary people who have done extraordinary things.

One man, Jorge Munoz, drives a bus all day long, goes home to his family, and together they cook 150 meals in their kitchen for the homeless. They drive their truck to the same corner each night and hand out the meals. He gets food donated and keeps it in six refrigerators around his house!

Another man, Roy Foster, was a homeless veteran. He pulled himself off the streets and now dedicates himself to getting other vets off the streets as well. He has a halfway house that provides food, shelter, and as he puts it, “camaraderie.” His motto is “no man left behind.”

It was an AMAZING night. I think this show is a great way to kick off the holidays. It has certainly put me in a more giving, patient, and loving place.

CNN: An All-Star Tribute airs Thanksgiving night, 9pm ET.

Photos of Jenna, Rainn, Kate, and Creed at the tribute start on the next page.

Geeks in the sky

Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine: “It’s a good time to be a geek, and few people have reaped the benefits more than Rainn Wilson. Best known for playing Dwight Schrute, the beet-farming assistant (to the) regional manager on The Office, the three-time Emmy nominated actor spoke with Spirit about how his geek past helped him get ahead.”

American Airlines American Way Magazine: “There’s never been a better time to be a nerd — just ask Ed Helms. Last summer, the former The Daily Show with Jon Stewart correspondent dominated the box office as browbeaten dentist Stu Price in The Hangover. And this month, he’ll reprise his role as Cornell University– educated kiss-up Andy Bernard on NBC’s The Office.”
