One of the most recognizable stars of the century shared his true feelings for one of the important moments in modern TV history.

This year, the most popular American sitcom since the 2000s celebrated its 20th anniversary. While the original British version of course made a significant influence on the comedy landscape, the American adaptation was more than usurped with its omnipresence and recognition in the popular Zietgist culture, many of which are due to the ensemble's cast. During what is widely considered her golden era, the Scanton branch, Pennsylvania of Dander Miflin was led by his regional manager, Michael Scott (Steve Karel). Although the character started the series with more enhanced, unusual behavior, Michael was prescribed to be more attractive, while maintaining a lot of his eccentricities. Even with some of his bizarre leadership methods, Michael became one of the most beloved characters on television thanks to some Elleven writing and the ingenious performance of the six -time Emmy, Steve Karel (who, shameful, never wins any time).

One of the most common criticisms of the "office" by critics and fans is that the play is dipped in quality after Steve Karel's eventual departure from the series near the end of the seventh season. (That decline is discussed in /Ranking the movie for 10 worst episodes you can read here.) In terms of Karel's farewell, one of his co-stars recently revealed his complex feelings for the whole trouble.

If Michael Scott is the most popular character of the "Office", Dwight Shrut is probably not too far. Anxious by Emmy's triple nominated, Rhein Wilson, Dwight is the subject of most of the most memorable panties of the series, and often much of his charm is at the top when he is with his boss and friend, Michael. While appearing on "Good guys"Podcast with Oshos Peck and Ben Sofer In June 2025, Wilson has affected the creative difficulties with the series facing his main Starwar departure in season 7:

"When Steve left, then it was a little chaotic to try to grasp the show's tone and who is the guidance and how we tell these stories without, you know, the comic book on the show, which is Michael Scott, and without one of the biggest comics in American history in the center of our show."

Prior to the premiere of the "Office" in the spring of 2005 at Ann -Bi, Steve Karel was noticeable to serve as a Daily Show correspondent, and he appeared in films such as "Bruce Almighty" and "Anhorman: Legend of Ron Burgund". A few months after the series was first aired, Karel broke into the big canvas as a comical leading man in the "40-year-old Virgo", which he catapulted him in a supermitwire. Noticing Karel's film career, Rhein Wilson admitted that the "Office" team expected it to leave the series in the end:

"He did as" Burth Wonderston "and these big comedies. I forget all the names of them at the time, but ... "Get smart", you know? (Movies) that were in 2,000 multiplex theaters. So, of course, he will leave the "office" when he can! "

Although Steve Karel is probably best known for Michael Scott, his career outside the "office" is pretty fruitful. A whole generation of children has grown with him as a voice in the Despicable Me franchise, and he has continued his career in comedy films such as "Get Smart", "Shmax Dinner", "Crazy Stupid Loveub" and "looking for a friend for the end of the world".

Along with his fruitful comedy film, Karel also proved to be a fascinating dramatic actor. Although "Little Miss Sunny" (which came out before leaving the "Office") is a heart comedy, the film served as a brilliant exhibition of his dramatic chops, and he further explored the dramatic side of his career in films such as "Big Short", "Last Flying" and "Last Fly", One of Karel's most ridiculous performances was at Foxcatcher, which nominated him for Best Actor Academy AwardAnd recently, he starred in the film "Succession" by creator Essi Amstrong, "Mountain", opposite Rami Youssef, Corey Michael Smith and Jason Schwartzmann.
