Anyone else tired of Steve Carrell always playing the bad guy in recent roles? I legitimately cannot recall his last role where he wasn't a bad guy.

Four Seasons… Mountainhead… Morning Show…

I know it's not realistic to expect The Office-level performances from him, but he never plays the good guy anymore. Shame

The Patient? Never watched Space Force so I don't know about that one.

There's a tv show on Netflix or something right now where he isn't the bad guy.

I think this might be right. That was a long time ago

Big Short a good mention but I don't think he was a good guy in the movie

Which one? If it's four seasons, he's definitely not the good guy

Anchor Man 2. 40 Year Old Virgin was after Anchor Man and was what immediately came to mind for me.

He's a "villain", but not a bad guy.

Hot take: Big Short and Despicable Me are the only good roles he's had outside of The Office.

Crazy Stupid Love was a great role for him. Super funny, awkward mid life dating. Plus crazy horny Marissa Tomei

wasn't he in Little Miss Sunshine? That was a great movie

The 40 Year Old Virgin is also a movie I remember laughing at pretty well too

I love The Big Short, but I thought Carrell's acting was actually the weakest part of the movie. When you listen to Steve Eisman interviews, he's not the socially awkward that Carrell portrays.

Check out The Way Way Back. While not a villain he is a total dick in the movie. Written and directed by Jim Rash and Nat Faxon starring Sam Rockwell.
