    How did you pull it off?! hide show

    Even thou I am not a fan of the show, nor do I understand why we needed a show like this. I have to hand it to Steve Carell you pulled it off! What I really am trying to say is that the show isn't a complete disaster thanks to you. You pulled off exactly "the dull and unsecure yet I act like everybody loves me kind of boss" perfectly. With that you brought the comedy part to the show, well at least 75% of what it offers. The actors on the show also do a great job but being honest, if it wasn't for you this show would have been cancelled a long time ago (I would actually doubt if it would be on the air). I have nothing against the very talented actors but it's just a very bad show.

    The funniest! hide show

    …And here we introduce you the America's funniest man! With his appearance on the cover of Life, he got the deserved label. The thing is you would not think, when you see him, with that calm demeanor, that he can be such a great source of laughter. But he is a great example of "less is more", and I guess that made me one of his fans. His part in "40 Year-Old Virgin" just announced what was about to happen. It seemed that Steve's experience of working as a correspondent for the Jon Stewart Daily Show finally paid off. And big, as after his winning at the Golden Globe for "The Office" made of Steve Carell one of the most sought after actors to be distributed in new movies.

    Superb actor all - around. hide show

    Steve Carrell has left his mark on movie comedies, drama and gross - outs as well as the obnoxious but lovable Michael Scott on The Office but the way he owns any chracter he plays makes him one of the most versatile actors today. What's brilliant about him is, as an actor he can be very broad but subtle as the same time which comes up a lot in The Office and can be very strong yet subdued also. Aside from the goofy, loser character; he pulled on the heartstrings in "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Dan in real life" but in "Bruce Almighty", he played what was meant to be a villain but just didn't stick with an actor like him. Steve Carrell is a very talented and magnetic actor, can't wait for Get Smart!

    Funny, Funny, Funny!! hide show

    Michael Scott (Steve Carell) is the Regional Manager of Dunder-Mifflin Scranton, the oddball paper selling company from Scranton, RI. You have never seen an office quite like this. Michael is never keeping order, but instead, throwing wacky parties, inviting random high school buddies over to the office, and even dating and doing some OTHER things with the State Manager, Jan ?. Probably my favorite thing that he does is when he says "Just shut up Toby." Hilarious!! He couldn't be more funny in this show. Also, I have no idea how he can stay so serious through all the zany things he does. Sure he always has that little smirk on his face but how can you blame him. You would probably laughin out loud for all I care. All I'm saying is that you NEED to watch this show because if you dont you have no idea what your missing.
