Question- who’s the best and funniest The Office character? There’s many to choose from and a lot of characters to pick from considering that the show ran for quite a long ti- Wrong! The correct answer is Rainn Wilson’s (who is now Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson) Dwight Schrute, and there’s no debate on this.

It is not a surprise that fans would love Wilson’s character so much. His loud and erratic behavior and unintentionally hilarious personality are one of the many gems you can find yourself enjoying during a re-run of all nine seasons of The Office. The show ended nine years ago, but it seems like Rainn Wilson is still in character!

Rainn Wilson Is Now Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson

One of the most sensitive and important global topics of debate and discussion is the topic of climate change. It’s no doubt that it’s affecting the whole world, and it’s a problem of our own making.

Some may believe in it, and some may dismiss it, but action needs to be taken or everything will be gone sooner than you think. There have been various organizations and pre-existing institutions that have actively tried to bring the world together to solve this urgent issue at hand, and a voice of support comes from one of the world’s funniest actors.

Rainn Wilson is the best and most memeable The Office character hands down, but all those giggles and laughs have also brought him to take an initiative to bring awareness to the problem of climate change. He even has a documentary on it called The Idiot’s Guide to Climate Change on YouTube.

One of his latest ventures in advancing the awareness of climate change comes from his name, literally. The 56-year-old actor has changed his name from Rainn Wilson to Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson, and it couldn’t get any less Dwight Schrute of him.

While this may come off as a joke, the Galaxy Quest star noted in a statement on Twitter (above) that he was indeed not joking. He says-

“With the help of my scientist friends at Arctic Basecamp, I’ve changed my name to Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson. This is not a joke, I’m as serious as the melting Arctic, which amplifies global risks including extreme weather events around the globe.”

So it wasn’t a joke. It’s unclear whether Wilson plans to officially change his name on government documents, which would be quite a tedious process.
