Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Rainn Wilson was 'mostly unhappy' on The Office
Caption: Rainn Wilson was 'mostly unhappy' on The Office. During the most recent episode of Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, Rainn admitted that he didn't think The Office, which remains a generation-spanning TV favourite, was enough for him at the time. Rainn, who played Dwight Schrute in the beloved TV series, told the host. ”When I was in The Office, I spent several years really mostly unhappy because it wasn't enough. I'm realising now, I'm on a hit show, Emmy nominated every year, making lots of money working with Steve Carell and Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski and these amazing writers and incredible directors like Paul Feig. I'm on one of the great TV shows. People love it.” "I wasn't enjoying it. I was thinking about, 'Why am I not a movie star? Why am I not the next Jack Black or the next Will Ferrell? How come I can't have a movie career? Why don't I have this development deal?’”. The actor also stated that he hadn't been satisfied with his salary while filming the show. The Office aired from 2005 to 2013 and consisted of 201 episodes. In its second season, it became a critical hit by winning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series.
