The Mark Twain Lecture Series on American Humor and Culture: An Evening with Rainn Wilson

March 28, 2025 7:00 PM

A middle-aged man with fair skin and slightly tousled dark brown hair poses in a relaxed manner. He rests his head on his hand with his fingers lightly touching his temple, looking directly into the camera with a calm and confident expression. He has light stubble on his face and is wearing a navy-blue jacket over a cream and navy striped sweater. The background is a simple, neutral gray, emphasizing his face and expression.

Award-winning actor, comedian and New York Times bestselling author

Wilson has an MFA from New York University at the Tisch School of the Arts and spent 10 years doing theater in New York City before moving to Los Angeles. He founded the digital media company, Soul Pancake.
