Rainn Wilson played one of the Thermians in “Galaxy Quest”. As such, he’d get a free pass for life even if he hadn’t found a way to acheive nerd stardom as Steve Carell’s sidekick, and John Krasinski’s nemesis, on “The Office”.
I interviewed him a couple of months ago for his still-upcoming movie “The Rocker”. It’s this week’s movie feature over in NOW.
I also recommend the audio clips.
