Recognize this face?

It’s The Office star Rainn Wilson and this is the poster for his new comedy The Rocker. Fox will be putting it up this weekend. The funny thing is: Rainn’s rep say that it’s an original picture of Wilson as a kid that has only been slightly doctored - the background, the glasses - but otherwise it’s all him.

The Rocker comes out August 1 and co-stars Christina Applegate. In it, Wilson plays a drummer for an 80s hair band on the cusp of making it big – then they fire him. Two decades later, he’s working a regular job he hates and gets the chance to drum for his nephew’s garage band and all his old bad habits come back along with his desire to push them to be the biggest band on earth.
