He’s hilarious, he’s witty, he’s one of my favorite actors….he’s Steve Carell! He’s so super funny in ‘The Office’ tv series and equally as hilarious in ‘Evan Almighty’.

Now he’s the voice of the lead villainous character, Gru in the animated film, ‘Despicable Me’, which hits theaters on Friday, July 9th!

Don’t be dismayed; his character is actually a funny villain!  Watch the trailer and check out local movie times.
