Determined to showcase his artistic range beyond slapstick, Carell successfully pivoted to dramatic roles to critical acclaim.

He earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his chilling, unrecognizable portrayal of the eccentric multimillionaire John DuPont in the 2014 true crime drama Foxcatcher.

He followed this triumph with powerhouse dramatic turns in Adam McKay's 2015 financial satire The Big Short and the biographical drama Beautiful Boy in 2018.

In recent years, Carell has balanced television projects like The Morning Show and The Patient with a return to his beloved comedic roots.
