Rainn Wilson is an actor that excites many people of my generation here in Los Angeles due to his quirky entertainment themes appeal that Rainn delivers in deadpan comedic manner. Here’s ten things about Rainn.
1. Rainn Dietrich Wilson is happily married to fiction writer of the book, Big Cats: Stories, Holiday Reinhorn. The couple love living in L.A.
2. Although Rainn grew up in the intellectual-attractant city of Seattle, Washington, it was Illinois that drew Wilson’s love of unusual reality when he set out for college. He is a graduated of New Trier H.S. in Winnetka.
3. Being an over-achiever, Rainn went on to graduate from NYU’s Acting Program, after brief stints attending Tufts University and the University of Washington too. We learn from Rainn, that you can never study enough.
4. Off-Broadway was where Rainn chose to hone his once-graduated talents for many years.
5. Rainn is a practicing comedic member of the Baha’i faith.
6. Wilson first came to global attention after slogging his talents off for many years in TV and film. His breakthrough role as Arthur, the quirky love interest to the much older Frances Conroy, in Allan Ball‘s hit TV series, Six Feet Under is what brought him to, even New Zealanders far away from Hollywood’s attention.
7. However, Rainn says that his favorite role to date, is his Hollywood statement role, that being playing the role of Bill Harris in the film, Gettin’ the Man’s Foot Outta Your Baadasssss! (2003). Too funny! Rainn is so Hollywood.
8. Rainn originally came to Los Angeles with a theater piece he written titled The New Bozena, where very little is known about this play.
9. The brother can play the clarinet and the bassoon. Musicality and teamwork in music has always been a passion of Rainn’s reason to entertain audiences.
10. Rainn’s son, Walter McKenzie was born in 2004. The rigours of parenting, perhaps gave Rainn the motivation to create his most loved work yet, his blog: Soul Pancake.Com–where Rainn is asking the hard topics like: Does the News create action or just ignorance?
