The Golden Globe award winning Steve Carell takes on the role of Michael Scott in the hit TV show, The Office. In The Office, Michael Scott is a regional manager of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Michael Scott is based on the character David Brent from the original British TV show, The Office. Michael thinks he is the funniest and best boss ever. This far-from-accurate ego leads Michael into some pretty sticky situations. Michael frequently refers to his co-workers as his family, which he doesn’t have. Steve Carell perfectly portrays a confused boss and completes the comedy aspect of NBC’s, The Office.
