Rainn: Scotland is the Canada of England! (edit) Rainn (on how he manages to play Dwight on The Office): There's like ten minutes when it's like, 'Okay, wait, who is this guy again?' And then, you know, I just put on the calculator watch and the glasses, and just be all, you know, inappropriate. And then it just works out fine. (edit) Rainn (on what he did during the WGA Strike): I did a little bit of picketing. I played a lot with my three-and-a-half-year-old son, which was good... And I went to Israel and I did some writing. And I worked on my backhand with my Zen tennis coach. (edit) Rainn (on getting back to work on The Office after the WGA Strike): You know, it's been a huge love fest. It's like our other family. It's been really, really fun. And we've had a blast these first two weeks. It is great to see everyone again and batteries were definitely recharged. (edit) Rainn (on fans disappointment that his character Arthur on Six Feet Under didn't stay longer): Well, you know, the character was doing so well for me that I actually got cast in a little pilot called The Office. So they had to write me out of the show for that. And then I did the movie, Sahara, so I had to leave the country. That was why they wrote me out. I would have stayed there but I had other work calling me, places to go, people to see, things to do. You know how it is (laughs). (edit)
