\u201cThe Office\u201d <\/a>actor Rainn Wilson<\/a> is considering a career change.<\/p>\n Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute on the hit NBC sitcom, revealed during a Sept. 3 appearance on \u201cLate Night With Seth Meyers\u201d<\/a> that he wants to leave Hollywood to pursue an occupation as a death doula.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, as my celebrity star is fading\u2014and it\u2019s fine\u2014I may put acting behind me,\u201d Wilson told Meyers. \u201cAnd there\u2019s this beautiful occupation called death doula.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cCode 3\u2033 star explained the role as a different kind of birth, a \u201cbirth into the next phase of our existence.\u201d Wilson, who said he \u201cfully believe[s] in the continuation and journey of the human soul,\u201d noted that most world faiths agree on the concept.<\/p>\n Wilson described the work as being there to \u201cusher someone with beauty and respect and dignity from this life to the next,\u201d while also helping the family transition. He shared that he believes a death doula can help people understand the legacy they want to have and celebrate what is often a painful, ignored transition in Western society.<\/p>\n After Meyers suggested that a death doula helps \u201ctake the fear out\u201d of dying, Wilson added that the job offers \u201ca lot of hope to give people.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cHow you can create a healing space for you and your family to mourn, to grieve, to celebrate, and to ponder this next mysterious step?\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n Wilson, who starred in \u201cThe Office\u201d from 2005 to 2013 and earned three consecutive Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor, may find this is his next step. Especially since he seemingly wasn\u2019t given an opportunity to appear on the new \u201cThe Office\u201d spinoff, called \u201cThe Paper,\u201d<\/a> which was released on Peacock<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n Wilson previously commented on the show\u2019s continuation to CinemaBlend<\/a> in November 2024, expressing disappointment that the show was moving to a new zip code, which meant his character had a next to nothing chance of getting a cameo. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t see how Dwight goes from Scranton to wherever they\u2019re shooting it in the Midwest,\u201d he said. \u201cBut, you know, if [series creator] Greg [Daniels] wants me to do something, I\u2019m happy to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n Ironically, Wilson\u2019s former \u201cThe Office\u201d co-star Oscar Nu\u00f1ez did manage to secure a full-time role on the new 10-episode series. However, the rest of the cast was replaced with new faces.<\/p>\n Meyers, however, suggested to Wilson during their conversation that if he does go the route of death doula, he shouldn\u2019t abandon Hollywood completely. <\/p>\n \u201cWell, I would like you to keep doing both,\u201d the late-night host said. \u201cI don\u2019t want you to stop one just to work on the other, but I think you\u2019d be very good at both.\u201d Wilson responded, \u201cWell, thank you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
