I don’t think he ever officially retired but just took very limited roles for a few years to focus on family.

I have a soft spot for him.

I know it’s become the new thing to shit on the office but I just love it. Can’t imagine him in it though, Steve Carell was perfect.

Trying to imagine Stanley Tucci as Michael Scott...

Right? I can’t see him playing so stupid.

He seems too nice to play that part.

This annoying ass show and post show ending Carell’s thirsty ass are right up there with friends for me

[syzygy09]

He played Philly Michael Scott and did it pretty seamlessly tbh, it was a good bit
