News For Two Favorites From "The Office"

Rainn Wilson, aka the amazing Dwight Schrute of "The Office," has found at least one thing to do during the writers strike. Our friends at GMMR report he'll host the Independent Spirit Awards on Feb. 23. Along with the SAG Awards, the Indies - while not as prestigious as the Dundies - have been granted a waiver from the Writers Guild, so the show can go on as usual.

Meanwhile the Hollywood Reporter tells us what recurring "Office" player David Denman, aka Pam's ex-fiancee Roy, will be doing when the strike ends: He'll be starring in the NBC pilot "Saint of Circumstance," about a guy whose mid-life crisis leads him to quit his boring, ahem, office job and become a night-shift paramedic. BONUS: "Scrubs" star Zach Braff and his writer brother Adam are putting the show together, or will be post-strike.
