Steve Carell, one of American comedy's most popular faces, 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.

The new teaser trailer and poster for Universal’s upcoming animated flick Despicable Me both focus on the minions of Gru (voiced by Steve Carell).  What these minions do and how they factor into the film, I’m not sure.  What I do know is this: they’re adorable.  Of all the teaser trailers they’ve released for the [...]

With relatively sparse purchases being made from the spec script market in 2009, it's interesting to see that what could actually be the biggest spec script sale of the year occurred so very late in the game as Variety reports that a still untitled script by Dan Fogelman (Cars, Fred Claus, Bolt) that was written as a dramatic vehicle for Steve Carell has been picked up by Warner Bros. in a deal worth nearly $2 million. Similar to that of the...

Steve Carell and Tina Fey are getting married. Well, not really. Just in fiction land. And maybe not even there. Really, the whole marriage thing is an uncertain proposition. Should Carell and Fey choose to tie the knot on the big screen, it would come in the form of "Mail-Order Groom," a Warner Bros. Comedy [...]

After nearly casting him out of New Moon then watching the actor become one of the movie's biggest selling points, Summit has decided to keep on loving Taylor Lautner. The company has bought into Cancun, an action movie with a slightly misleading title. When I see 'Cancun' I don't think of a teen version of "Taken meets Die Hard," which is how Variety is describing this one. Lautner would be "an out-of-place college kid who travels with a...

We haven't seen Rene Russo in a feature film since Yours, Mine and Ours in 2005, and (as someone noted, but I don't recall whom) we haven't seen her do a decent movie since The Thomas Crown Affair, in 1999. But Russo's turn in Wolfgang Peterson's In the Line of Fire will never fade, so I'm happy to see her coming back to the screen as a Norse queen. Russo has been cast in Thor, where she'll play Frigga, the wife of Odin and mother to Thor and...

Funny People: Steve Carell and Tina Fey are attached to star in Mail-Order Groom, a comedy reuniting the two Date Night stars. The story revolves around a woman who has trouble finding love. She travels to Eastern Europe, where she finds a husband to bring home to the U.S. Based on an idea from Fey's husband, Jeff Richmond, the script is currently undergoing a rewrite because it didn't include enough cheesy blasters.

What would happen if you lined up NBC’s funniest Thursday night stars and pretended they were married? The evening would end in disaster. In Date Night, The Office‘s Steve Carell and 30 Rock‘s Tina Fey play a couple trying to enjoy some time alone. When Carell’s character pulls a Michael Scott to get them a restaurant table, their night takes a not-so-routine turn. The Fox comedy - also starring James Franco, Mila Kunis, Mark Wahlberg...

When we started hearing about the new Steve Carell-Tina Fey comedy Date Night earlier this year, I kind of pictured a witty, domestic comedy of errors. Articles described the movie as a romcom about a couple whose night out goes laughably awry, so I immediately pictured something like a mix of Baby Mama and Dan

A whole bunch of casting rumors have arrived online this week, pushing some, like CHUD's ever-vocal Devin Faraci, to write an editorial-ish piece on why we shouldn't really be paying too much attention to these rumors because, well, they're rumors.
