Rainn Wilson shared a video from a recent flight showing what his unsuspecting seat mate was up to: watching The Office.

The video shows Wilson, decked out in a mask and baseball cap, shaking his head as he turns the camera towards the person sitting next to him, who was enjoying a meal while watching an episode of The Office.

“When the person sitting next to you has no idea who you are…,” Wilson wrote on the video.

They were specifically watching a part that showed Wilson’s character, Dwight Schrute, talking to Steve Carrell’s character, Michael Scott, in his office at Dunder Mifflin.

The iconic mockumentary has long been hailed as one of the best sitcoms on network television. It follows the hijinks and bizarre situations the employees of a fictional paper company find themselves in.

The Office helped launch Wilson’s career as a comedy star when it first aired on NBC in 2005. The sitcom went on to win three Primetime Emmy Awards and two SAG awards throughout its nine-season run on the network. Wilson also secured three Emmy nominations for his outstanding performance as Schrute, the intense paper company employee who idolizes his manager.

Wilson has not shared any updates since he posted that video to his Instagram story on Wednesday (April 12). It’s unclear if he told his seat mate whether or not it was him (but we hope he did!)

Wilson recently appeared in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. He also has a book coming out about spirituality, titled Soul Boom: Why We Need A Spiritual Revolution, releasing on April 25.
