In Mindy Kaling's book "Why Not Me?", she humorously contrasts the character of Dwight from "The Office" with actor Rainn Wilson, who portrayed him. Kaling emphasizes that while Dwight has some outrageous traits, they pale in comparison to Wilson's real-life personality. She playfully suggests that Rainn's true nature is much more extreme and mischievous than his character's antics. Kaling's statement serves to highlight the distinction between a fictional character and the person who plays them. By labeling Rainn as a "demon," she underscores the playful and exaggerated difference, showing how an actor's persona can diverge significantly from their on-screen roles.

Is Dwight really like that in real life?

Oh, no, Rainn isn't like Dwight. Dwight is an angel next to Rainn. Rainn is a demon.
