Steve Carell Reveals Actor Who Warned Him Not to Do The Office | E! News

Steve Carell—who played Michael Scott in ‘The Office’ for seven seasons—revealed that Paul Rudd told him not to audition for the NBC hit. The reason? Steve said Paul felt the show—which was an American adaption of the U.K. series, starring Ricky Gervais—would be hard to live up to its predecessor. “It’s funny that you guys all heard, ‘Oh they’re doing an American version,’ and everyone had the same reaction,” Steve told Amy Poehler on the March 24 episode of her ‘Good Hang’ podcast. “Rudd pulled me aside and was like, ‘Don’t do it, man. Don’t audition.' He was like, ‘There is no way.'" Amy, 54, admitted she could understand where Paul, 56, was coming from as she noted, “I’m sure. Everyone was like, ‘Don’t even touch this.’” With a laugh, Steve, 63, added, “With a 10-foot pole!” But the ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ alum clearly did not listen to his friend’s advice and went on to star as the regional manager of Dunder Mifflin paper company for seven seasons starring alongside John Krasinski, Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey and Ed Helms. Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1430149/paul-rudd-warned-steve-carell-not-to-do-the-office
