Steve Carell momentarily tricked over 100,000 fans of NBC comedy series The Office US into thinking the series was making a comeback.
While starring in films during his time in The Office US, it wasn’t until Carell left the show that his cinema career truly rocketed; his list of credits include The Way Way Back, Foxcatcher and The Big Short, the latter two of which earned him Golden Globe and Oscar nominations.
Carell appeared in the US adaptation of Ricky Gervais’ The Office US for seven seasons as Michael Scott, the Regional Manager of Dundler Mifflin’s Scranton division.
The beloved sitcom continued for two more seasons following the actor’s departure before ultimately drawing to a close in 2013.
