Rainn Wilson: I was on a popular, acclaimed TV show but it wasn't enough

Does he not own a mirror?

It's never enough girls. Never enough.

He is just being honest.

Most people who go into the entertainment industry dream of being the biggest star. They always want more, they always want to reach that A+ celebrity status.

I like him and think he’s being refreshingly honest. He reminds me of Nick Offerman. Did an amazing job making a really unlikable character funny and enjoyable to watch and is so different and down to Earth in real life.

Just like Dwight Schrute would never be satisfied until he became manager.

He's somewhat handsome when not in Dwight drag.

Does anyone else think the relationship between Dwight and Mose bordered on incestuous?

Nope, r7.

"Being honest"? Did some of you not read past the post?

He said that he wondered, "Why am I not a movie star?" And spent YEARS being unhappy with his fate.

That's not honesty; that's delusion.

No, r6. No.

R9 But that's part of why some people think he's being honest. Sorry you can't grasp that basic concept.

He has a short series on Peacock: Geography of Bliss. It's pretty good.

[quote]Why am I not the next Jack Black or the next Will Ferrell?

Because they are ENTERTAINERS. You are just an actor.

Would Rainn Wilson ever do a talk show interview dressed as Little Debbie? No? Then shut up and enjoy your money.

R9, to be fair, Wilson compares himself to Jack Black and Will Ferrell. I don't think he's crazy for thinking he could have a career similar to those two actors.

It's not like he had delusions of becoming the next Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.

R10, thank you for affirming my decision to block r9.

I think he's great. Loved him in The Office and Six Feet Under. He's talented. And I'd much rather see him in a starring role than Will Ferrell, who I can't stand.

Will Ferrell is hard to look at. I loved Wilson in a little movie called The Last Mimzie. Hardly anyone I know has heard of it though.

Well, it was 16 years ago, r16...

R14 blocked me over THIS? Hahaha hahaha!

R10, I get the concept. I grasp that Rainn is revealing WHAT he thought. I commented on HOW he thought. Sorry you can't discern the difference.

R14 I think blocking R9 is a great decision. Move over and let me in!

Steve Carrell was much more annoying and I'm glad he's not in everything anymore.

Jonah Hill is not just a movie star but an Oscar-nominated movie star. But Rainn Wilson is delusional?

R21 yeah, there is no explanation for Jonah Hill. Every day he is more insufferable. I miss Andy, Ed Helms is hysterical, he just lets it all out, has no boundaries. I wish he had his own sitcom.

I like him too.

He was so oddly and memorably creepy in Six Feet Under!

Oh, boo hoo hoo hoo!

HOW he has suffered!

[quote] Jonah Hill is not just a movie star but an Oscar-nominated movie star. But Rainn Wilson is delusional?

Yes, he is. He is not somehow owed a movie career just because someone else unattractive has one.

You and he both need to grow the fuck up.

He shnotta shoopahshtah yet!

He would have been a great character for News Radio-- that was one funny show.
