Dwight is the only character that I couldn’t see played by anyone else. Jim and Pam are straight characters, they could have been played by a lot of people. Odenkirk’s Michael would have been different, but I think after a season or two they would’ve made him great. All the other characters were perfect, but at the same time they’re background characters so you can cut a character, or completely change the character to fit an actor’s skill set. Dwight was set up to be a top 3 character from the beginning, and clearly had a very intentional personality. As much as I love Patton and Judah, they’re just not Dwight.

It's very interesting, because the others all went with a more down-to-the-earth, "realistic" interpretation of Dwight: the lonely, creepy weirdo that nobody likes to talk to because he always goes on about government conspiracies and obscure Pennsylvanian laws that would allow him to kill the entire office in self-defense if they so much as touched his stapler. Rainn meanwhile went in a totally different direction by making Dwight this over-the-top, self-righteous, intense lunatic, a very cartoonish character, which has worked beautifully, especially when developping that Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd relationship with Jim.

for his rendition of dwight, yes he was. but the reality is that dwight played by any other actor would have been written mugh differently. good writers and directors play off of how the actor cast in a role interprets that character. we're seeing many different interpretations of the same basic instructions for dwight's character before dwight was fine-tuned for rainn wilson's strengths and interpretation
