In "Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Tour," there was a mystery man known as the Roadmaster, who would give the cast members directions for their missions which would earn them points. This person would appear somewhat disguised on a TV screen and creepily deliver the rules of the day's challenge. An unknown at the time, the Season 9 Roadmaster was Rainn Wilson, who wouldn't appear on "The Office" for four more years.
A few clips of Wilson's time on "Road Rules" were featured in "The Challenge: Untold History" documentary, which aired on MTV just before the premiere of "The Challenge: Ride or Dies." It's wild to go back and see Wilson on the reality series,s knowing what we do today. Wilson's Roadmaster only lasted for the one season, as future cast members would receive their mission orders on cell phones instead.
