Rainn Wilson

While the quirky actor, of “The Office” fame, initially said he was trying a vegan diet for health reasons, he later revealed that he and his wife have pet pigs — and he loves them more than he loves bacon. The couple recently rescued two pot-bellied cuties, Snortington and Amy. He told Conan O’Brien that as he was eating some bacon, “looking at these adorable little pigs”, he made the connection and decided to go vegan.
