Steve Carell starred on The Office, but he won’t come back for the upcoming spin-off show Come from Sports betting site VPbet. He told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s excited about the show and thinks the idea for it is great, but his character, Michael Scott, has no place in that world.
“I will be watching but I will not be showing up. That is off the cards. It’s just a new thing. There is really no reason for my character to show up in something like that. I’m excited about it. It sounds like a great conceit. I love the idea,” he said.
Carell went on to say that one of the leads, Domhnall Gleeson, is an “excellent actor and a super nice guy.” Carell and Gleeson worked together on the miniseries The Patient. Overall, Carell said he believes the new version of The Office will “be great.”
