My Take
What fascinates me about Steve Carell is how completely he understands embarrassment. Michael Scott could have been a one-note cringe machine, but Carell played him with such buried loneliness that you ended up rooting for the guy. That, to me, is the mark of a genuine actor hiding inside a comedian. After being crowned America's funniest man, he could have coasted on goofy roles forever; instead he kept stretching into directing, producing, and heavier dramatic territory. I suspect his secret is observation — he watches people the way novelists do. Few performers make discomfort this humane, and I find that quietly brilliant.
