Happy Birthday, Steve Carell!

Today we're celebrating the 49th birthday of big-time funnyman, Steve Carell. Although in the past few years, he's garnered much of his success and acclaim through his starring role on television's "The Office," it's not that difficult to remember his theatrical endeavors. Carell got his first big break in feature films with 2003's Bruce Almighty, and from there, he managed to skyrocket to become of one Hollywood's leading comedic actors. He nabbed his first headlining role in 2005's The 40 Year Old Virgin, and although I think he does a decent job as the leading man, he's still at his best when he finds himself in a supporting, scene-stealing position. So as I always do with celebrity birthdays, I've counted down my five favorite of Carell's roles and have attached clips for your viewing pleasure. Once again, happy birthday, Steve!
