In what might be the polar opposite of his role as Dwight Schrute in TV's hit The Office, Rainn Wilson plays "The Fish" -- trading his Regional Manager duds for really tight spandex and pleather. Priscilla Hojiwala sat down with him to talk about living the life of a rock star, which included trashing a hotel room and kissing Christina Applegate. Find out more about his comic -- and surprisingly touching -- work in The Rocker in our interview with Rainn Wilson.

Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute on The Office) stars as Robert "Fish" Fishman, a former rock star who was kicked out of the legendary hair metal band Vesuvius just before they broke big 20 years ago. He's had more than a little trouble letting go. After being fired from numerous jobs over the years, he's broke and crashing in his sister's attic. As it turns out, her son has a band called A.D.D. that is about to play the prom and is in need of a new drummer.

The Cinevegas Film Festival kicked off its tenth anniversary last night in sin city with the comedy The Rocker, starring Rainn Wilson, Emma Stone, Jane Lynch, Will Arnett, Fred Armisen and Jeff Garlin.
The full cast was in attendance and members of "the band" arrived for the red carpet in a tour bus. Wilson was fully decked out as his character from the movie, Robert "Fish" Fishman, complete with tight leather pants, a bandana and studded armbands.
We'll be bringing you an early review of The Rocker shortly.
After the premiere, drinks and debauchery were in heavy rotation for the Cinevegas Opening Night Party at the Moon club at Palms, which was filled with enough hipster wannabes, silicone-injected actress hopefuls and meathead security guards to make anyone a little dizzy.
ReelzChannel is here in Vegas for the whole festival and we will be bringing you updates throughout.
