STEVE CARELL

Steve Carell, one of American comedy's most popular faces who edited a school newspaper as a child, is now celebrated as the funniest man on the cover of Life Magazine and on NBC's SNL, where he hosted the 2005-2006 season premiere. He became an unusually versatile comic after more than two decades of improv skits and bit parts, and received the 2006 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in Television Comedy for the leading role of Michael Scott in his remake of Britain's existential comedy "The Office" (2005).

He was born Steven John Carell on August 16, 1962, into an Italian-American family in Concord, Massachusetts, USA. He was educated at The Fenn School, an all boys private school in Concord, Massachusetts, then at Middlesex School in Concord. He studied and graduated from Denison University in Granville, Ohio, then took acting at Chicago's Second City troupe. Carell made his film debut in 1991, as Tesio in Curly Sue (1991). From 1990-1996 he taught improvisational comedy class and also performed with The Second City troupe in Chicago. During the 1990s he was writing for The Dana Carvey Show, then he had a stint as one of correspondents on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Steve Carell on Par for Rick Reilly Golf Comedy 'Missing Links'

via firstshowing.net ( 28 Days ago )
While I admit that I do still love the curly haired comedic force that is Will Ferrell, his recent foray into nonsensical off-the-wall sports comedies (e.g. Semi-Pro) is beginning to lose its appeal. Thankfully he's moved on and seems to be passing the reins over to Steve Carell, as THR's Risky Biz Blog reports that the actor will star and produce Missing Links, a comedy set in [...]

Is there a more universally likable comedy-person right now than Ed Helms? Maybe Paul Rudd? Steve Carell? The fact that he’s even in the discussion is a well-earned compliment, because he’s awesome. To reaffirm said awesomeness, Helms dropped by the Tonight Show last night to again prove that he’s basically a less stupid version of Andy Bernard in real life, engaging [...]

via iwatchstuff.com ( 131 Days ago )
Universal has released a trailer for Despicable Me, what appears to be another CGI comedy that crams a huge, impressive comedy cast (including Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Kristen Wiig, Danny McBride, Will Arnett, and Jemaine Clement) into "a cute one for the kids." Carell plays Gru, a character apparently self-aware of his despicable-ness, who takes a cue from the G.I. Joe trailer [...]
