Roger Ebert wrote about Rainn in his book: "He has that rare quality in an actor, an uncanny presence." There are a few people who fit the description (Jack Nicholson, Christopher Walken, Bill Murray) who need only to look at something in order to develop a positive attitude towards it. Well, they will get into a rat race, and they will be able to perform on a high, but they are undoubtedly smart, not terribly knowledgable[sic], at an angle to the throughline. Rainn Wilson does not suggest that one sit on a sofa and watch TV, but it is a word. A statement of... nothing, which is the point.
