As Dwight Schrute on The Office, actor Rainn Wilson experienced success in a longtime goal -- becoming a comedic sidekick. It came, however, after failure as described in his new book The Bassoon King: My Life in Art, Faith, and Idiocy. Rainn joins Elvis to discuss the self-discovery in writing a memoir, his positivity-based SoulPancake, and his portrayal of a struggling man in the currently running one-man-show Thom Pain (based on nothing).
