Am I Steve Carell?

Am I Steve Carell? No, but I get mistaken for him all the time. No hard feelings. That's what she said! No really, people always say, "Are you Steve Carell?" and I know we look a lot alike, but for my money I think my face is a little bit more symmetrical than his. I bet if he came to Scranton people would stop him and say, "Hey aren't you that Dunder Mifflin Regional Manager, Michael Scott?" People who know me. Mr. Carell is a fantastic entertainer, a great comedian, a poet really. I enjoy his films. What he does in Hollywood, I do here in Scranton, same thing. He has the same look and comedic timing that has taken me up the corporate ladder, only he's taken a different path, one that has lead him to fame and fortune on the silver screen. But who needs that? Not me, that's who. Actors are driven by a need to be liked. I don't share that need, not like my need to be praised. I am not Steve Carell I'm just good old Michael Scott. I'm glad we were able to put that to bed, that's what she said.
