No one, absolutely NO ONE, can be Dwight except Rainn Wilson.

[honeybuns]

It’s weird thinking of Stanley as an actor who actually wanted to be there 😂

[javiersds]

No one can do the psychopathic Dwight like Rainn Wilson. He's perfect.

[angelwebss]

Watching this makes you realize how different of a show it could’ve been. The casting was absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t change a single one.

[nikkowood]

Steve Carrell audtioned as if he was already 4 seasons into the roll. That was nuts

[LetThereBeRock]

Every other “Dwight” audition was a character I’ve seen before. Rainn really brought something special to that character

[suqckmm]

This is why it's important to pick the right people, just not big names, for your cast. Office is legendary for that reason, I believe.

[mrtoast]

I love how Steve Carrell somehow made the interviewer laugh ten seconds into the audition. He didn't even know how he did it, or if he did then he just put on a forgetful persona. That's exactly the kind of energy they needed for someone playing Michael, effortlessly funny even when he's putting in too much effort.

[brads]

Rain was dwight immediately. He absolutely killed the audition.

[Livelythesinger]

Nobody could play Dwight like Rainn. I love his almost angry intensity. I feel like the other actors auditioning didn’t know what to do with the character.

[ashishvishwakarma]

Rainn, Steve and Melora were born for their roles. Them being Dwight, Michael and Jan respectively is perfection.

My therapist- “asian jim is not real!!!”

I could never ever imagine any other actor playing Dwight Schrute's character

[maitri]

I feel like everybody else's version of Dwight is kinda like "yeah listen I'm a smart guy here". But Rainn gives out the vibe of self assured, eccentric, kind of try-hard authoritive attitude. Which is why he absolutely nailed the role.

[rogue]

the fact that everyone who auditioned for this got their own iconic roles and are doing great is so nice

[ionizerable]

Rainn Wilson played Dwight so brilliantly that I cant imagine played by another actor.

[ShiroRoyal]

Funny how everyone who was auditioning for Dwight's seemed like they were auditioned for Andy's role

[TheDesperateArtist]

The proof that we should NEVER underestimate the work of a casting agent...

[cheesydawg]

The casting really nailed Jim. This video didn't show much for the other two that auditioned but even still they were very stiff. In John Krasinski's audition, forgetting the extra props he's given, he moves around a lot more. I especially love his facial expression after saying how boring it was. It gives the vibe that he's a fun guy but this job is holding him back.

[travelledbones]

The “que sera sera” part was improvised and you can hear the producers laughing in the background. Absolutely genius acting by Steve 😂
