When I heard Steve Carell was going to be in the June issue of Playboy, I got really excited, because I always wondered if he shaves his bush. Well it looks like I'm going have to keep on wondering, because he didn't do a pictorial, just an interview. The Daily News ran an excerpt of it this morning:

"Just before 'The Office' came out, most critics were dubious about our chances of succeeding," Carell says in the June Playboy, out Friday. "There was almost an animosity for the show because the BBC version was so beloved and Ricky Gervais was so brilliant. So in our minds, we realized there was no way to win that battle. There was nothing we could do as a cast or writers or producers to dispel people's preconceived notions. We just had to put it out of our mind and do the best job we could. "There's a huge freedom," he added. "We knew if our version just didn't suck, people would be amazed."
