Rainn Wilson lives in Los Angeles with his wife, fiction writer
Holiday Reinhorn (Big Cats), and his
son, Walter McKenzie Wilson who was born in 2004. He grew up in
Seattle, Washington but graduated from New Trier H.S. in Winnetka,
Illinois. After attending both Tufts University and the University of
Washington, Rainn studied acting at NYU's graduate acting program and
spent years doing theater both on and off-Broadway, on tours with the
Acting Company and in region theatre including The Guthrie and Arena
Stage.
Rainn co-created and directed The New Bozena, a sketch comedy and post-modern clown show which performed in New York and ended up doing a pilot presentation at Fox TV. He made his directorial debut with The New Bozena (2005), a short film based on the show.
After many years of working in TV and film, his breakthrough role happened, as Arthur, the odd love interest to the much older Frances Conroy on Six Feet Under (2001). His favorite role to date, however, is Bill Harris in the film, How to Get the Man's Foot Outta Your Ass (2003).
Rainn is a member of the Baha'i Faith.
