Really good interview. I love these types of interviews b/c they’re so much more in-depth than talk show ones.

I liked him explaining all the different aspects of his nerdiness (kinda makes me feel better about myself…) and it was so interesting to hear about his faith.

I left to go grocery shopping and sat in the Kroger parking lot for the entirety of the interview. Mr. Wilson is such a doll…you can tell that Terry is a fan. The best pre-Rocker interview yet.

Made my shopping trip sooo much better. I picked the best Imaginary Celebrity Boyfriend EVER. Even my husband approves!

Whenever a cast member is on Fresh Air, I know it’s going to be a fascinating and insightful interview. This one was no different. Thanks for posting – Rainn is an extraordinary individual.

I didn’t realize Rainn was going to be on, so I was totally giddy when I heard he was the guest (yes, I listen to NPR…I guess I could be considered a nerd too). I know it took him a while to break into Hollywood, but as a fan, it was worth the wait for him to have so many memorable roles (I forgot how creepy Arthur was…)!

This interview is definitely worth the 32 minutes of time it takes to listen to. Hilarious biographical details about all the different kinds of nerd he was growing up. Also, interesting history about his original auditions for the part of Michael (!) and then Dwight on “The Office.”

Awesome interview, Terry and Rainn! Thanks for posting it, Tanster!

I am looking forward to listening to this at an appropriate time. But I have to point out that Terry Gross is an inherently snorty person.

That was the best “Fresh Air” “Office” interview I’ve heard.

When I first heard there was going to be a US version of the Office I was sure it would be a pale imitation of the UK series…then I heard Rainn Wilson was going to be a principle and I couldn’t wait to watch. Arthur Martin on SFU was iconic and captivating. I had been searching for him since he written off SFU.

Great interview Rainn. Articulate and interesting!

That was so interesting, especially the part where he explains his religion.
