From 'The Office' ... to a cop?
Dwight Schrute is serious about beet farming and his respect for Michael Scott, but we never thought we'd see this. Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight in real life, has been cast in CBS' drama pilot "Backstrom," about a self-destructive cop, ew.com reports. We're excellent at using our imaginations, but ... really? It's gonna be quite a stretch to tear the ridiculous image of Dwight out of our minds. We looked at some other planned fall pilots to see if we'll be able to separate some beloved characters from their TV and movie roles past.
