"  Anyone who still experiences the sense memory of the high school wedgie has to feel some vindication in the success of Rainn Wilson, the unapologetically nerdy 42-year-old who somehow found himself featured in People&amp;#039;s 2007 &amp;quot;Sexiest Man Alive&amp;quot; issue. Doubters who thought NBC&amp;#039;s imported version of the British series The Office could never equal its predecessor&amp;#039;s brilliance have had to eat their words, in part as a result of Wilson&amp;#039;s manic performance as Dwight Schrute, the beet-farming\u2014probably fascist\u2014assistant regional manager. Next month, Wilson, a native of Washington State who&amp;#039;s married to fiction writer Holiday Reinhorn, shows us a new side\u2014his naked backside, actually\u2014as a washed-up drummer who gets one more chance to attain his dream, in The Rocker.  ELLE : I read that your dad was a hippie sci-fi writer who worked at a sewage company. What sort of sex talk could one expect from a man like that? RAINN WILSON : My sex talk from this bohemian sewer-truck dispatcher science-fiction writer abstract painter consisted of him coming into my room when I was 12 and going, &amp;quot;Uh, so listen, make sure you don&amp;#039;t get any girls pregnant. A lot of girls will try to get pregnant so they can get their claws into you.&amp;quot; ELLE : Were there indeed a lot of girls hoping you&amp;#039;d impregnate them? RW : Oh, sure. There were a lot of girls in Lake Forest Park, Washington, just lining up to bear the child of a chess-playing, acne-speckled loser. ELLE : You&amp;#039;ve described trauma resulting from being a Dungeons &amp;amp;amp; Dragons-playing, bassoon-tooting nerd. If your three-year-old son, Walter, could be in a popular high school clique or a nerdy one, which would you choose? RW : Definitely the nerd clique. Nerds are everywhere. Now there are these mopey rock bands filled with nerds. You might be made fun of for a few years, but later on, all the popular kids will be detailing your car. ELLE : Have you ever told a woman something you wish you could take back? RW: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going out of town. Will you babysit my cat?&amp;quot; Back around 1990 in New York, I wanted to break up with a girl but I was going out of town for a week, and I was like, If I break up with her, I can&amp;#039;t ask her to cat-sit. So I came back, got my cat, then broke up with her. She then told everyone in New York what a heinous person I was. ELLE : How do you imagine the sex life of Dwight and Angela on The Office? RW : I don&amp;#039;t think they&amp;#039;ve actually gone all the way. I see a lot of full-scale frottage, like really sexy but clothed; they&amp;#039;re probably both in long underwear. ELLE : Blogging on Schrute-Space, you advised readers on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day, &amp;quot;Why not, as the ancients used to, kill something delicious for them, and lay it on their doorstep. A stag, a salmon, a sow.&amp;quot; Is Valentine&amp;#039;s Day similar in your home? RW : I do try to kill something for my wife every year, just to reconnect with my caveman roots. Recently, I got a big five-pound lobster, brought it home, and ripped its head off with my teeth. Then we boiled it for a nice romantic dinner. Then I got lucky. ELLE : When your in-laws met you, what do you think was their biggest hesitation about you marrying their daughter? RW : That&amp;#039;s easy. I was a consistently unemployed actor with no plans of changing my occupation, so they had to get used to the idea of a guy who had never made over 14 grand in a year. ELLE : Do you think they believed in your potential to succeed? RW : I don&amp;#039;t think so. But they probably believed in my waiter skills. ELLE : Was your wife&amp;#039;s belief in you any stronger? RW : She believed in me more than I ever believed in me. She was studying astrology back then and was so excited when her teacher looked at my chart and said, &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s going to have a huge career in TV and film.&amp;quot; At that point I was doing catering and driving a moving truck. I was like, &amp;quot;Sure I am. Right after I move this futon up four flights of stairs and serve this tray of steak tartare.&amp;quot; But she was always convinced. ELLE : What famous man whom you&amp;#039;ve been around have you been most in awe of for his power over women? RW : Luke Wilson. Women throw themselves at him. In restaurants, they&amp;#039;d just walk up to him like Night of the Living Dead zombies, put their phone numbers in his hand, and walk away. ELLE : If I could send you a sex tape of any two celebrities, who would you be most curious to see? RW : Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. But that&amp;#039;s also because I get queasy when I see men&amp;#039;s bodies in any porn scenario. ELLE : If you were about to be obliterated from the world, and you could only give your wife and son one object each to remember you, what would you give them? RW : I would give my son a Dwight bobblehead. And I would give my wife a Dwight bobblehead. That&amp;#039;s how I want to be remembered. In fact, when I die, I just want a coffin full of Dwight bobbleheads buried. You can just throw my body in a garbage heap somewhere. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
