It’s not every day you see Dwight Schrute from The Office casually hanging out at Wimbledon—but that’s exactly what happened this week.

Fans did a double take as actor Rainn Wilson showed up looking almost unrecognizable in a rare public outing, sporting a full beard, sunglasses, and a very dadcore bucket hat.

And just as one Office legend was turning heads in London, another was turning a major page in his career.


Rainn Wilson Trades Paper for Tennis

The 59-year-old actor, best known for his iconic role as the intense and beet-loving Dwight Schrute, made a stylish appearance at The All England Lawn Tennis Club on Friday.

Gone was the mustard shirt and power tie—this version of Wilson opted for a relaxed blazer, sunglasses, and a low-key bucket hat.

Joining him was his wife, author Holiday Reinhorn, who he’s been married to since 1995.

The couple share a 21-year-old son, Walter.

It’s been over a decade since The Office wrapped in 2013, but Wilson’s portrayal of Dwight continues to live rent-free in the hearts of fans.

His performance earned him three Primetime Emmy nominations and helped launch the careers of co-stars like Steve Carell, John Krasinski, and Mindy Kaling.


From Alcatraz to the Everglades? No—Just Rainn in the Crowd

Wilson’s laid-back presence in the Wimbledon stands was a far cry from his uptight TV character.

But make no mistake—he’s stayed active since his days at Dunder Mifflin, popping up in acclaimed films like Almost Famous and Juno, and even making his mark in Star Trek: Discovery.

Still, fans couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia seeing him out and about.


Craig Robinson Stuns Fans with Comedy Exit Announcement

Meanwhile, across the pond—or rather, across Instagram—another familiar face from The Office was making news.

Craig Robinson, who played the always-chill warehouse manager Darryl Philbin, dropped a surprising video on social media announcing he’s stepping away from comedy.

“Hey everybody! Just wanted you to hear it from me—I’m quitting comedy,” he said in a clip, before adding that he’s following “something bigger.”

The announcement left fans both emotional and curious.


Teasing a Big Move with Some Cryptic Humor

In a follow-up post, Craig kept the mystery going, asking small business owners for advice while hinting that he’s trying to get his own venture off the ground.

Though he hasn’t revealed details yet, it’s clear something big is brewing.

Naturally, fans flooded the comments with guesses and well-wishes.

One joked, “Opening a warehouse for paper perchance?”—a nod to his Office roots.

Fellow co-star Kate Flannery, who played Meredith, chimed in: “We love you, Craig!! Go big, my friend!!!”


Craig Robinson’s Comedy Legacy Lives On

Robinson’s comedy résumé is nothing short of packed.

From Hot Tub Time Machine to Brooklyn Nine-Nine (where he played the smooth-talking Doug Judy, aka the Pontiac Bandit), he’s delivered laughs on screen and on stage.

He’s also hosted The Masked Dancer and starred in the quirky Peacock series Killing It.

His mix of music and humor has made him a fan favorite for years.

One commenter suggested, “Doug Judy: The Musical,” while another gushed, “I hope you’re doing something in music bro!! Whatever you end up doing I’m sure it’s gonna turn into Gold.”


Whatever’s Next, Fans Are Here for It

Between Rainn Wilson’s low-key Wimbledon style and Craig Robinson’s bold new chapter, it’s clear that The Office alumni are still finding ways to surprise and inspire fans.

Whether it’s through a new business venture or just a well-timed tennis appearance, these actors continue to leave their mark—long after the paper sales have stopped.
