The Baha'i celebrity, or the Belebrity, is a character actor with a big head playing an annoying creep on a TV show.

I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.

People are flawed. I like peaking into their flaws. The way to humanize them is not to play them in any general way, but to make them very specific. If you make them specific, they have hopes and dreams and loves and vulnerabilities and quirks and you get to know them and you get to appreciate them.

A lot of actors are just like la la la - they're never really connected and then they're in the scene and then boom. They're looking you in the eyes and they're just really focused.

Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up.

I'm about as big a star as the Baha'i faith has got, which is pretty pathetic.
Rainn Wilson
Image
Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race, to grow and mature.

The great challenge working on this show for me is wearing polyester all day long and having the worst haircut known to man at the top of my head and sitting under fluorescent lights. That is America, people. Polyester, bad haircuts, under fluorescent lights.
