Steve Carell changed his appearance for “Foxcatcher” last year and it got him an Oscar nomination, so why not try it again? He’s playing a slimy money manager who profited enormously from the 2007 economic meltdown in “The Big Short” currently filming New York. Steve highlighted his hair, gained a few pounds, put on an expensive suit, and assumed a vile attitude to get into character. The movie comes out next year.

Steve Carell of The 40 Year Old Virgin is making all kinds of friends on the set of Evan Almighty. You’ll recall, Jim Carrey wanted too much money to reprise his Bruce Almighty character so Steve was hired. Steve seems to be an actor without an ego. ” He’s nice to everyone and greets each person by name and even though he’s the star, he expects no special treatment.” reveals an amazed setsider. “He eats with the cast and crew and doesn’t even have a limo – he even rides the shuttle every day to and from the set with everyone else. He’s the first one to hop off the shuttle and he gallantly helps everyone down the steps. He’s a real mensch.” Jaded coworkers are flabbergasted.
