As beet-farming, Michael-Scott-worshipping Dwight Schrute on 'The Office,' Rainn Wilson has encountered many strange and mystical things -- but none so strange and mystical as 'The Last Mimzy,' a sci-fi movie about kids who find a curious box of toys sent from the future. Wilson, who plays a New Age science teacher in the film, took a junket break to IM with our interviewer Patricia about ... pretty much whatever came into his head. 'The Last Mimzy' opens March 23.
