Dax Shepard



Dax Shepard is one of my newer favorites. I saw the movie, "Without a Paddle", and immediately thought that he was hilarious. The movie is about four childhood friends that group up and one of them dies at twenty-five. The other three decided to go on the trip that he had planned for the four of them to search for D.B. Cooper's treasure. Shepard plays Tom the unmotivated fly by the seat his pants kind of guy. He is also a liar. He tells them that he has been selling Harleys, but all he did was sell CDs and live out of his car. When they go on their trip they are all riding in a boat. Tom tells the man that was trying to tell them what they needed to know about the river that he was trained in navigation. He says, "Oh, really what level are you four or five?" Tom says, "Put those two numbers together, yeah that's right I'm a forty-five." I laughed uncontrollably because I thougt he was going to say nine. He keeps the little act going when Dan, the very petite nerd of the group, gets caught by a bear. He tells Dan to lie in fetal position, and that it will go away. Instead, the bear treated him like her cub.
Dax Shepard was also in "Employee of the Month", along side Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook. He plays a man trying to get employee of the month to win over Simpson's heart. His rival was Dane Cook, they try to ruin each others chances. His best line is, "This is an eighty-seven Honda! How dare you!"
In real life Shepard has been linked to Kate Hudson and Kirsten Bell. He dated Kate Hudson last year when she was still going through a divorce to rocker Chris Robsion, with whom she has a five-year old son. They came out as a couple the day Owen Wilson went into the hospital for a suicide attempt.

Steve Carell


Steve Carell is an emmy winning actor/comedian. He is best known for is role on "The Office" as Michael Scott. He plays the boss to a paper company called, "Dunder Mifflin." He stars along side Rain Wilson and John Krasinski. He tells "That's what she said." He has a coffee cup that says, "World's greatest boss." that he purchased for himself. He also "solves" office parties by holding meetings. He once solved a problem between Oscar and Angela. Angela had a poster of babies playing jazz hung up in her office and Oscar could not stand it. So Micheal suggested that Oscar wear a T-shirt of the poster so he would not have to see it, and Angela could. He also made "That's what she said jokes popular again. One time Pam says he Micheal my mom is coming, "He yells that's what she said."
Steve Carell is also in "Bruce Almighty", he plays Evan Baxter, a fellow news anchor to Jim Carrey. He steels Bruce's line, and gets the new anchor job. Then, Carrey retaliates with controlling his language and the teleproctor. Carell also appeared in a spin off of the movie called, "Evan Almighty." Carell also appeared as Brick in, "Anchorman". He was in charge of the whether and he is the slow one of the group. Everyone goes into the office and yells at their boss and then Carell comes in and yells, "loud noises."
Carell also stared as the, "Forty-Year Old Virgin." He is hilarious. He gets his chest waxed and he yells out, "Ahhh! Kelly Clarkson." He tells Jay to keep his lady on a leash. At the end all the charters sing, Aquarious.
When he won his Emmy he claimed that his speech was written by his wife Nancy. After everything he said he would go back to and I would like to thank my wife Nancy for giving me two lovely kids and he ended with, "... and lastly I would like to thank my wife nancy." The whole speech had the audience rolling.

Rain Wilson is most well'known for his character Dwight K. Shrut on the Office. He owns Shruts beets as well as being a sales rep for Dunder Mifflin.
He and Jim are office rivals so to speak. Jim plays pranks on Dwight. One time Jim put all of Dwight's Office supplies in the vending machines. Jim told Dwight to just buy them back, he says that it was ridiculous because they were his things. Then, Pam comes and buys Dwight's pencil holder. He gives in and says that he will buy it back, then he reaches for his wallet and he sees that it is in the vending machine. Then, Jim hands him a bag of change to buy his wallet back. Another one of their great pranks was when Jim put Dwight's stapler in jello. Jim also stole Dwight's stationary and decided to send him fax's from himself in the future. He sent one to Dwight, Dwight thought it was his future self warning him. It said today the coffee was poisoned. Dwight sees Stanley walk out of the break room with a cup of coffee and as he goes for drink Dwight runs across the room and smacks it out of his hand. It was hilarious. Jim also paid everyone in the office to call Dwight Dwayne for a day. Once Jim put a penny in Dwight's phone each day and then oneday he took them out and Dwight smacked his self in the head with the phone because he wasn't used to it being so light. Then, oneday Jim put Dwight's desk in the bathroom and when he came into work he was about to tell the boss and then Jim says warmer and warmer so Dwight finally finds it in the bathroom. For Halloween Jim dressed up as Dwight and mocked him. Then, Dwight tells Jim that identity theft is not a joking matter and that it effects hundreds of families each year. Then, Jim yells for Michael like Dwight used to, and Dwight yells for Micheal right after him. Then, the next day Dwight comes to the office as Jim. He takes off his glasses and wears a long sleeved shirt and says, "I'm Jim Halpert, blah blah, blah."
Dwight's love interest on the show is Angela. They broke up, however, when Dwight goes to feed Angela's cat and it was dead. Mr. Sprinkles, the cat, was sick and he was dead when Dwight got there. Angela blames Dwight and breaks up with him. Then Dwight goes in the back room and starts crying so Jim goes and talks to him about what happened and pats him on the back. Jim goes back to his desk and then five minutes later so does Dwight. Before he got there Jim placed all of his files over the line of his desk to Dwight's. When Dwight sits down, he makes a phone call and then he grabs a ruler brings it straight up between the desks to move Jim's things. When they all don't fall he smacks the rest of them down. He also tells Jim when they are entering a building that he must enter second because seventy percent of all attacks happen from the back. Jim asks him, "What about the other thirty?", and smacks him in the face.
Rain Wilson was also in, "The Rocker", as the lead in a rock band. He was also a gas station attendant in "Juno". He says to Juno, "That ain't no etch and sketch, this is one doodle that can't be undid homeskilllet.", when she shakes the pregnancy test. He also played a reporter in the movie, "America's Sweet Hearts."
