Confused Who Knew? Rainn Wilson Could've Been Michael Scott
The role: Michael Scott

Who got it: Steve Carell

When Rainn Wilson originally tried out for The Office, he was also going up for the Michael Scott part in addition to the Dwight Schrute one. He later described his audition performance as a “terrible Ricky Gervais impression.” Wilson was better off in the Dwight role, which he put his own spin on instead of trying to emulate the original actor from the UK Office.

His spinoff should have him as a boss at another company instead of some beet farm.
