At the moment, the filmography of Steve Carell has more than 50 films. If in his youth he nevertheless filed documents for legal, as he wanted, world cinema would definitely lose his outstanding talent.
Biography
Not everyone knows that Stephen has Italian roots. Once his grandfather bore the name Caroselli, which was later truncated, so the actor is known around the world as Steve Carell. The biography of his life begins in Concord , Massachusetts. He was born on August 16, 1962 in the family of electrical engineer Edwin and nurse Harriet. At first he studied at the private male school of Fenn, and graduated from Middlesex. In 1980, he moved to Ohio, where he studies at the university as a radio speaker. At the same time, a passion for dancing and lacrosse, which he immediately begins to actively practice in the corresponding university clubs, burns in him. In the midst of the 90s, he becomes part of the theater troupe in Chicago, after which he steadily follows his goal - to become an actor.
Carier start
Thanks to the film “Curly Sue,” viewers were able to see the acting debut of a young talent named Steve Carell, whose filmography in the following years rapidly expanded with small secondary roles. Then he tries himself as a screenwriter on television, which in the future will help him with writing stories for the TV series “Office” with him in the title role. In 2003, he starred in the comedy "Bruce Almighty." His image of the TV presenter fell in love with the public, in connection with which, after 4 years, a sequel is released entitled "Evan Almighty", where Steve Carell himself is the main character.
The filmography of the actor since then has more and more roles in the foreground. In 2005, it was decided to release a remake of the British TV series "Office", which was very popular in its homeland. But after the first season it is closed due to low ratings.
Resounding success
Fortunately, he was not on the air for long. His show resumed after the overwhelming success of the film “40-year-old virgin”, in which Steve himself was involved as a screenwriter and producer. This moment became decisive in his career, and the whole world learned about it. In the rental tape, it was possible to collect more than 200 million, which almost 10 times paid for its budget. After that, it was decided to resume "Office", the ratings of which instantly increased, and the series went on the air until 2013.
Although comedic roles until a certain point were the only ones that Steve Carell undertook, his filmography also includes several insightful dramatic images. In 2006, he played the scientist who was trying to commit suicide in the movie Little Miss Happiness. An actor rarely leaves his role, but he does it very well. This is evidenced by the role of a trainer suffering from schizophrenia in the film "Fox Hunter", for which in 2014 he was awarded an Oscar nomination. Among other well-known works of Karel can be called “Dinner with the morons”, “Crazy date”, “I am looking for a friend at the end of the world” and “Tighten gyrus”.
Cartoons
In addition to art tapes, the filmography of Steve Carell also includes many animated paintings. The actor once again collaborates with Jim Carrey, voicing one of the characters in Horton. He also gave his voice to a beast named Hammy in the cartoon Forest Brothers. However, the most successful work in this field was the well-known animated film "Despicable Me" and its successful continuation. The main character, a villain named Grew, speaks exactly the same voice as Steve Carell. The photo below demonstrates a wonderful sense of humor of the actor, who appeared on one of the popular American shows in the form of a character voiced by him.
Awards and future projects
In addition to the nomination for the most prestigious Hollywood Prize, he was also nominated for the Golden Globe and the British BAFTA Award for his role in Fox Hunter. Unfortunately, he did not receive any of them. In addition, he repeatedly nominated as the best actor in the comedy television series on Golden Globe and Emmy for the image of the protagonist in the Office. But he managed to win the victory only in 2006. And his role in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" brought a statuette to the MTV Movie Awards. It is also worth noting many other awards, including the People's Choice Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, Teen Choice Award and others, on which Steve Carell was repeatedly awarded for special services in the cinema.
