10 Actors You Didn't Know Were Almost Cast In The Office
7. Seth Rogen As Dwight Schrute
Though it seems odd to think of him in the role, Seth Rogen was one of the contenders for the role of Dwight Schrute before the job went to Rainn Wilson.
Based on Rogen's other work, this may have led to a much goofier version of Dwight and one less played as the painfully straight man and comedy fall guy.
Rogen has had a hugely successful career since this, both with acting and writing. He has starred in a multitude of movies, including Pineapple Express, The Interview, The Lion King, and Steve Jobs.
