Rainn Wilson hosts Microsoft’s annual meeting
From the Seattle Times:
‘About 23,000 Microsoft employees have registered to attend the annual company meeting today at Safeco Field, where Rainn Wilson, star of “The Office,” will serve as emcee.
Microsoft is expecting one of the largest crowds in recent years for the event which is closed to the public perhaps because of Wilson’s appearance: The actor went to Shorecrest High School and received a drama degree from University of Washington in 1986.’
