That he can embody these disparate qualities is, he thinks, partly an accident of physiognomy. 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. In the psychological thriller The Boy, he was a surly insurance scammer hiding out at a motel after the death of his wife. In the black comedy Super, he played a would-be superhero who is in fact nothing grander than a vicious vigilante in a cape. He has some real dark sides to him.” Moral ambiguity is an area in which Wilson excels: he’s comfortable when the audience isn’t. “We get to see a lot of different sides to my character over the course of the film. The part offered its own challenges, even if overcoming a fear of confined spaces wasn’t one of them. But when I ask what it was like spending most of Don’t Tell a Soul at subterranean level, he sheepishly admits that the “hole” was in fact a chamber built above-ground, with a door in the side, and a platform at the top to which the other actors could ascend to look down at him. This isn’t the first time Wilson has been six feet under – he got his big break in Alan Ball’s hit HBO series of that name in the early 2000s, playing Arthur the creepy undertaker. The question is not whether they will use it, but how. During the pursuit, he plunges into a hole in the forest floor, which leaves the boys with absolute power over him. In Don’t Tell a Soul, a cross between A Simple Plan and Paranoid Park, he plays an unassuming security guard who gives chase after encountering two teenage brothers (Fionn Whitehead and Jack Dylan Grazer) stealing from a house in rural Kentucky. “And that’s fine with me.” First, though, there is his new thriller to discuss. “Dwight is the part I’m best known for and always will be,” says the 55-year-old. Wilson has starred in everything from Juno to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the Jason Statham shark thriller The Meg, but he knows that any conversation will inevitably lead back to The Office. Today’s beard and baseball cap, as well as his chipper demeanour, banishes all memory of the pasty face, DIY haircut and startled expression he wore in that show. Wilson earned three Emmy nominations for playing the livid, disagreeable Dwight, the Rust Belt equivalent of Mackenzie Crook’s Gareth. That Pennsylvania city provided the setting for the US version of the mockumentary sitcom The Office, which ran for nine widely adored, award-winning series. No such preciousness from Rainn Wilson, who appears on camera from his Los Angeles home wearing a grey T-shirt emblazoned with the word “Scranton”. "They're like little Twilight Zone episodes, but they actually happened to real people and they draw out these people's stories and they're just fascinating, horrifying, astounding, stupefying, spine-tingling.Some actors associated with a signature role will tire of talking about it. " Radio Rental is essentially true stories of the weird, the macabre, the mystical filled with horror and strange coincidence," he began. Speaking about the hit podcast series, Wilson described it as "spine-tingling" and offered some insight into the show's premise. While fans wait patiently for Dark Winds, they can pull up the new episodes of Radio Rental. In addition to Wilson and McClarnon, to show also stars Kiowa Gordon, Jessica Matten, and Deanna Allison. It is currently set to premiere on AMC and AMC+ on June 12. " Dark Winds is created by Graham Roland as adapted from the Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman. And I'm excited for people, it's dropping on AMC and on the AMC streaming service. Used a lot of Navajo actors, a lot of Navajo writers and crew members. Wilson added of his character in the series, "His name's Devoted Dan. You know, so it weaves in kind of native mythology into the crime drama. He's kind of anchoring the show, but there's also a supernatural element to it as well. And he's been in so many things, Doctor Sleep and so many other incredible shows. Who's a Reverend and a used car dealer at the same time and it has the amazing native actor Zahn McClarnon in it. I play a more of a supporting role, but a super fun, a super fun character. He continued, "It's a great kind of period on the res' kind of stories. " Dark Winds comes out in early June and it's a six-part series set on the Navajo reservation from the great Tony Hillerman set of novels, their murder mysteries set in the '70s." The Office star Rainn Wilson has a new AMC series on the way, titled Dark Winds, and the actor says that the new drama-thriller is "absolutely fantastic." While speaking exclusively to about the new season of Radio Rental, a podcast he narrates and hosts, Wilson also offered some details about the forthcoming AMC show.
