Steve Carell – The Office

As far as mockumentaries, “The Office,” both the British and American versions, set the bar pretty high. But the icing on the cake was the “fourth wall” break in the finale. The entire staff of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company gets together after the documentary for two reasons.

One is for the wedding of colleagues Dwight and Angela; another is for a Q&A session about the documentary. One of the best surprises was the return of Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell. Characters also move on, find new callings, and, because it’s based on a business, they also get fired. Carell returned to “The Morning Show” in 2021.
