Steve Carell crying as Michael Scott in The Office season 2
Paul Feig, who directed multiple episodes of The Office, recalls how Steve Carell saved the Michael Scott character with an acting choice in one scene. Serving as an American remake of the British show of the same name from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, The Office first aired on NBC in 2005, chronicling the daily lives of workers at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
The trouble with Michael in season 2 was solved, however, while filming season 2, episode 2,"Office Olympics." According to Feig, Carell's choice to shed a tear during the episode's ending podium scene totally changed Michael as a character, making him someone audiences could care about. Read his comment below:
What Carell's Michael Choice Meant For The Office Carell Helped Make The NBC Sitcom A Phenomenon The difference between season 1 of The Office and season 2 is very noticeable. Season 1 is more of a copy of the British version of the show, featuring a more drab color palette and a brand of humor that didn't always translate for American audiences.
