Famous Feds: Steve Carrell

Actor known from the “The Office,” among other shows and films, once worked as a Federal Employee

Steve Carell, an actor famous for his role in TV’s The Office and films such as Anchorman, worked for about 6 months as a mail carrier for the US Post Office in the late 1980s. On delivering letters to the residents of Littleton, MA, the performer has admitted several times that he was too slow for the work, and not very good at the job.

After leaving The Office in 2010, Steve was reportedly working with NBC on a “sweet and nostalgic” sitcom based on his stint as a mailman. Whether the project simply never materialized or was just a joke based on the fact that he had recently left The Office and was now in the “Post Office” phase of his career, is uncertain. The show was tentatively entitled The Post-Graduate Project.
