How Steve Carell makes his money
The Office is the center of his earnings. A lead role on a hit network sitcom pays for every episode across its run from 2005 to 2011 and its return in 2013, and a show with that much popularity can keep earning through reruns and streaming after it ends.
Film roles are the second pillar. He starred in Anchorman in 2004, The 40-Year-Old Virgin in 2005, Evan Almighty in 2007, Get Smart in 2008, Date Night in 2010 and Crazy, Stupid, Love in 2011. His voice work includes Over the Hedge, Horton Hears a Who! and the Despicable Me franchise, which has run since 2010, and he moved into drama with Foxcatcher in 2014, earning an Oscar nomination.
He has since returned to television as a producer and star. He co-created Angie Tribeca with his wife, Nancy Carell, and he starred in The Morning Show from 2019, Space Force from 2020 to 2022 and The Patient in 2022. In 2024 he made his Broadway debut in Uncle Vanya.
