Rainn Wilson, From Houseboat in Seattle to Dwight Schrute in 'The Office'

In The Bassoon King: My Life in Art, Faith, and Idiocy, he explains his unusual childhood. He grew up on a houseboat in Seattle, in the jungles of Nicaragua, and he was once tricked into playing the bassoon back in suburban Washington.
