I met a really cool guy last night, you might have heard of him - Rainn Wilson. He is most well known for his work on the television show The Office, as the character Dwight, but he's also been in numerous other t.v. shows and movies, i.e. Six Feet Under, Entourage, Sahara, C.S.I., etc. Neat! It's really fun to meet Baha'i celebrities, because there aren't very many of them.
He and his wife Holiday are on a three day visit to the Holy Land, and I bumped into them at the pilgrim talk. Very nice, very down-to-earth guy, especially for someone who has to work in Hollywood. Rainn and my friend MJ hit it off well because she's a singer/songwriter, so they had alot to talk about his most recent film, The Rocker. Apparently it was filmed in Toronto, so it's disappointing we didn't know about it sooner because she totally could have been an extra! :)
Anyway, like I said, it was very cool to meet a Baha'i celebrity who hadn't let fame and money get in the way of faith. Spirituality and material success don't have to be mutually exclusive; it's simply a matter of figuring out which one is the priority in your life.
