鈥淭he Office鈥 actor Rainn Wilson will write a memoir 鈥 kind of.
Wilson is writing a book for Penguin Random House imprint Dutton. He says it will chronicle his time growing up, a period in which he lived in New York, and his time acting on 鈥淭he Office,鈥 but says he wouldn鈥檛 attach the word 鈥渕emoir鈥 to the project.

The book is scheduled to be published in fall 2014.
Wilson is best-known for starring as salesman Dwight Schrute on the NBC comedy 鈥淭he Office,鈥 which ended last year, and also appeared in the 2008 movie 鈥淭he Rocker鈥 and 2010鈥檚 鈥Super.鈥
