Rainn Wilson on Oprah discusses spirituality

Most guests on Oprah Winfrey’s shows leave the questions to their famous host. Not Rainn Wilson, the actor famous for playing the eccentric paper salesman, Dwight Schrute, on NBC’s hit comedy “The Office.” During his recent spot on Winfrey’s Soul Series radio show, Wilson pulled a list of questions from his back pocket and started interviewing his host.

His questions for Oprah included these:

• What does your soul look like?
• If you could ask God one question, what would it be?

They’re the sort of questions – “life’s big questions” – that Wilson, a longtime Baha’i, posts on his new website, Soul Pancake. Anyone who visits the site can post an answer – or questions of their own. Winfrey’s favorite question of Wilson’s was, “What do you miss most about being five years old?”

“I like that,” she said, and promised she’d eventually come up with a response.

When she does, she can post it on Soul Pancake, a place where she – and the rest of us – can share our own answers to life’s big questions with people from all over the world.
