Steve Carell Three More Years at The Office says Ricky Gervais

by LiRa

Ricky Gervais had some really nice words for Steve Carell, who has just renewed his contract and signed on for three more years. Gervais writes on his blog:

Had some great news today about the American version of The Office.

Steve Carell Ricky GervaisSteve Carell (now one of the most bankable film stars in the world) has just signed up for another three years with us. He is the hardest working man in Hollywood and the harder he works the better it is for me. I mean… well done Steve you are wonderful.

I had to wear a beard for one day on This Side of The Truth and I hated every minute of it. Steve had to do months of that in Evan Almighty and I heard he didn’t complain once. He is a very nice man and deserves all his success. I am just as dedicated to my art without compromise but only between the hours of 9 and 3pm.

We are also working on a spinoff series of The American Office but I can’t tell you anything about that yet.

Hailed for its sharp humor and unique concept, The Office has received multiple recognitions from several award giving bodies since its USA premiere in 2005.

Let's get working…
