Backstrom:
Interview and series premiere! Soaps.com sat in during a conference call with Rainn Wilson. When asked how he felt playing the new role of Everett Backstrom after playing Dwight Schrute on “The Office” for so many years, Wilson shared, “Yes, well it was really – doing another TV show was kind of the last thing I wanted to do right away after ‘The Office,’ after working so hard and for so long on that character. But when I read the character of Backstrom it was kind of like, oh, darn it, this is too good, this is too rich, it’s too interesting and it just drew me in incredibly. I couldn’t say no. It’s such a rich, multi-faceted character that I had to take it; and they don’t come along very often, especially for weird looking middle-aged character guys like myself. So, to get a role this interesting for an actor such as myself was just a Godsend and Hart Hanson is an incredible writer who can balance the drama and the humor, the absurdity at the same time so effortlessly so it all fits in into one tone.” Tune in tonight, Thursday January 22 at 9:00 PM, as the comedy series premieres on FOX.
