Effectively using his distinctive surreal deadpan humor to make memorable comedic performances, Steve Carell has established himself as one of major comedic actors in Hollywood. His debut film was ‘Curly Sue’ and then he managed to appear on TV and movies such as ‘The Dana Carvey Show’, ‘Over the Top’ and ‘Suits’ and became one of the correspondents in Comedy Central's ‘The Daily Show’ by the turn of the 21st century. It gave him ample opportunity to hone his comedic skills and more significantly provided him enough buzz to be able to make it big on the silver screen. The hilarious flick ‘Bruce Almighty’ was a huge success and brought him widespread recognition and more favorable offers. He went on to act in box-office hits such as ‘Anchorman’, ‘The 40 Year-Old Virgin’, ‘Little Miss Sunshine’, ‘Evan Almighty’, and ‘Get Smart’ and ‘High T’. Throughout this time, he maintained a successful career in television and starred as Michael Scott in the existential comedy ‘The Office’.
