user11035: I'm using a "PANASONIC LUMIX G II Lens, 20mm, F1.7 ASPH" (MFT) lens to shoot interviews.
However, it distorts faces a bit when within 10 feet. I've read (after I bought it, unfortunately) that this lens isn't too well suited to interviews for that reason.
What would be a better fit? A wider lens would also be nice.
Any advice appreciated!

user14504: 70mm to 100mm is the ideal portrait range. Although I prefer a farther throw many times simply for the look. 
Wider will distort, longer will compress. 
20mm, that's wide- very for full frame or even a crop sensor. Are you sure of that?

user10689: Typically recommended portrait lenses are around 85mm to 135m. These numbers refer to full frame cameras.
Since you are using a m43 camera with a crop factor of 2x you should investigate lenses from 40mm to 70mm that fit your Panasonic
