Steve Carell’s Hits and Misses

by Mallory Potosky | Published March 14, 2008

Steve Carell’s big break came when he was cast opposite Jon Stewart as a fictional correspondent for “The Daily Show” in 1999. A stumbling newscaster in 2003’s Bruce Almighty and the most offbeat and blundering boss this side of the Atlantic on NBC’s “The Office,” Carell has created a niche for himself as a new millennium master of situational comedy. Almost as many times as you find yourself laughing at him, you’re cringing at the awkward situations his characters manage to get themselves into.

In honor of this week’s release of Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!, MM takes a look at the hits and misses of Carell’s feature film career thus far.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin

In the role that made him a star, Carell plays Andy Stitzer, a 40-year-old Smart Tech employee willing to do nearly anything to lose his “virgin” label.
