Los Angeles ? Get ready to see a whole lot more of Rainn Wilson than you ever would have imagined.

The co-star of NBC’s “The Office” says he dropped his trousers for a few comedy sketches he taped as host of the Spirit Awards, the Oscars of independent film.

“When I signed up I said, ‘I’m not a standup comedian. I’m happy to tell jokes and stuff but it’s not really what I do,'” Wilson told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

“My (butt) is actually revealed a couple of different times, so if anyone’s curious about what my (butt) might look like …” he trailed off. “I don’t know why they would be. It’s all for a laugh. My body being exposed is good for a great deal of laughs. They use it on ‘The Office’ quite a bit when they need a laugh – they have me take my shirt off.”

The Spirit Awards, sponsored by Film Independent, air Feb. 23 on IFC. The show will be broadcast live, uncut and without commercials.
