A Changing Steve Carell

My favorite comedic actor, Steve Carell, has recently taken a completely different path in his acting career. Steve is most know for his ridiculous, embarrassing humor is films like The 40 Year Old Virgin, and television show The Office. But this time, he is taking on more drama, and apparently doing an incredible job doing it. The last time I saw Steve act in something somewhat dramatic was Little Miss Sunshine, where he played Frank Ginsberg, an uncle who recently attempted suicide. Apparently Steve's dramatic acting has been thriving in the oscar community in his recent role in Bennett Millers Foxcatcher. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Steve is a highly regarded candidate to be the winner of best supporting or lead in the next year or two. This new project he has signed on to The Priority List, where he will play a teacher dying of cancer attempting to go on a road to connect with his students while making the most of his last days. This is a very different Steve Carell that we may be seeing very soon, one that can potentially be named best actor. Hey, if the main character in How To Loose A Guy in 10 Days can do it, why can't Steve?
