The question is not whether they will use it, but how. He has some real dark sides to him. In the black comedy Super , he played a would-be superhero who is in fact nothing grander than a vicious vigilante in a cape.
In the psychological thriller The Boy, he was a surly insurance scammer hiding out at a motel after the death of his wife. On screen, he can be spookily reserved and unreachable, or gauche and goofy, as he is as a credulous alien in Galaxy Quest or a failed heavy metal drummer in The Rocker. That he can embody these disparate qualities is, he thinks, partly an accident of physiognomy.

In between his memorable role as a goofy alien in Galaxy Quest and his career-making stint as Dwight Schrute on The Office , Rainn Wilson starred in a couple of promising TV pilots that were nevertheless unceremoniously rejected by big networks.
Wilson played her quirky sound guy in the pilot, which is as far as the show went. Entertainment , the table read "went terrible," and things didn't go further than that.
Wilson also nearly starred in what could've been one of the most provocative and unlikely comedy shows in TV history. Executives interfered and wanted to make it into a more traditional sitcom, but the group walked away from the deal instead. As the world moved irretrievably online in the mids, television networks embraced the notion that official show websites could be used to enhance the fan experience by offering supplemental material. NBC and The Office were pioneers in this burgeoning media landscape, offering limited series of "minisodes" about side characters and hosting a consistently updated blog that was "written" by Dwight Schrute.
Rainn Wilson played that role on The Office , and he also took responsibility for composing Dwight's online missives — mostly because it was all his idea to do it in the first place.
During The Office , the computers on Dunder Mifflin employee desks were actually hooked up to the internet.

Wilson was writing an entry on his personal blog one day, and as the actor told The Morning Call , "The producers saw it when they walked by and thought it was funny.
Dwight Schrute claims to be a master of karate and weapons-based combat, but footage captured by the in-universe film crew of The Office showed that he usually just resorted to brute force when trying to subdue or overpower his co-workers.
But in real life, the actor who portrayed Dwight, Rainn Wilson, didn't know his own strength. In his book, The Bassoon King , Wilson wrote that one of the main things he was known for around the set of The Office was "hurting people.
Wilson also recalled punching on more than one occasion — and completely by accident — co-stars Phyllis Smith Phyllis Vance and Brian Baumgartner Kevin Malone. There's also the time he tossed a five-pound dumbbell into the air, which landed on the head of Craig Robinson Darryl Philbin , and that other time he kicked sand at Baker with such unplanned severity that the actor had to be rushed to a hospital so doctors could treat his scratched cornea.
In , The Office was at the peak of its first wave of popularity. It's human. It's frail. And it's interesting.
