When Rainn first came out into the lobby, I asked him for a picture. He said no. He didn't give a flimsy reason or insinuate that he was in a hurry, he just said no and walked away. I was disappointed, but not entirely surprised as I knew this was his reputation. Bummer. Later I saw him in the lobby standing there talking and, although I knew it was risky, I took another shot when he finished his conversation. Hey, I wanted the picture - I even thought about getting on my knees and begging (don't judge me), but, thankfully, I didn't have to. He said yes, I had until the intermission was over. Fine with me, camera was ready. Phew! Got it! Now, if only I could get Steve Carrell....and James Spader...all would be right with the world. Fingers crossed!

Pinky's Fandance - Rainn Wilson
Let's be clear here: this was not an easy picture to get. I realize Rainn looks all happy and smiley in the picture, but the truth is that I literally had to BEG him to take it. Now, I've wanted a picture with Rainn forever - and I've gone to premieres and talk shows to get it - but, he doesn't do it. Sure, I know the odd person here and there who has a picture with him, but it's not common. He's the Kenneth (aka Jack McBrayer) of the West Coast. Wait. Scratch that. He's cooler than that since he actually (finally) did it.
