Today’s guest is actor, producer, writer, and podcaster, Rainn Wilson. You’ll recognize him as Dwight Schrute from NBC’s The Office, the digital media company he co-founded, SoulPancake, the Lidè Foundation with it’s goal to empower at-risk women and girls through the arts in rural Haiti, or from his podcast, Metaphysical Milkshake. On this episode we talk about improv vs. set structure, unique acting exercises, and what it really means to change the words on a page into a living character. We also talk about how entertainment is 1,000 choices a minute, pretending not to care as an artist, and the impact of a surprise.
