Thanks for the contribution...I knew this
would go side ways.
The average person knows who Carell is... If you ask the average person who Ed helms is they would say "Who?"... you would have to answer "Paging Dr. Fagot from The Hangover. No not Bradely Cooper, the other guy"
Same for Krasiniki. you would have to mention A Quite plce of Amazons Jack Ryan before most people would get it.

I liked seeing Jim from The Office kicking arse in Benghazi as much as the next guy, but Carell was pretty solid in Foxcatcher and The Big Short.

And The Way Way Back.
Also... to say that Krasinski has had a better career post Office than Steve Carell has... well, that's just stupid talk.

Im assuming you're just trolling now. Because you just described 1 single movie from Krasinski that got a single academy nom for sound editing. I applaud the effort for sticking to your original point however

I also thought Crazy, Stupid, Love was a damn good movie that Carrell was essentially the star of even with a star-studded cast.

One of my favorite movies from the last 10 years. Carrell played a great a-hole, I didn't see him having that in him, I don't think Ed Helms could play that role

I love how long the Office debate has gone on.
Is it time to talk about Amy Adams having a better career than Jenna Fisher?

Did you actually read and learn anything from why your take was so bad?
This can be a great board sometimes and used to be for sure. I changed my opinions, found new great stuff, etc here. But I had to read.
Just saying my man.

Doesn’t quite meet original criteria (sketch show) but Jim Carrey and Jamie Fox both had a far greater career then any member of the Wayans family for “In Living Color” which was their baby.
I would add Jlo too, considering she was just a backup dancer

It’s probably not just common.
Often th lead in the show is what the actor has been working towards their whole career. If the show is popular they’re usually paid well enough too.
The supporting actors often spin off or go on to be leads in their own shows. So it’s but surprising they have big careers after the show.

This cheesy little sitcom for kids aired 2010-2013 on Nick.
The lead is Victoria Justice. An absolute dime. I’d pay my meager life savings for the 2 minutes I’d need.

I

Victoria Justice has had a decent, steady career, as far as I can tell. But she has been completely surpassed by the actress/singer who played a minor character in her show. Ariana Grande rocketed from an air headed, good natured albeit somewhat bland friend of Victoria to musical superstardom.


I would also give my life savings for two minutes with Ariana, but I find Victoria sexier.

Sorry, but he is not. Of course leading men get more notice by the public than do Directors or writers. It is what it is.
