What The 40-Year-Old Virgin Cast Looks Like Today

In the years since «The 40-Year-Old Virgin,» Steve Carell has become one of the most beloved and marketable stars on both the big and small screen — which is all the more impressive considering that one of his most famous roles is as a boorish, irritating office manager. Carell plays Andy, who ends up linking up with his coworkers at Smart Tech as they try to help him find a romantic (and physical) connection despite his total lack of experience. Andy is, all things considered, a well-meaning good guy who just wants to settle down with someone and Carell brings a sweet earnestness to the role — even in the film’s famous waxing scene. Carell also co-wrote the film alongside Judd Apatow.

Everyone knows Carell played Michael Scott on «The Office» before leaving in Season 7, and after his overwhelming success on television, he pivoted to film. Aside from a string of comedies like «Evan Almighty,» «Get Smart,» «Date Night,» and «Crazy, Stupid, Love,» Carell showed off his dramatic chops in «Little Miss Sunshine,» «The Big Short,» and «Foxcatcher,» earning an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for the latter. Carell is still a big-screen fixture in projects like «Vice» and «Asteroid City,» but he also returned to television with leading roles in «Space Force,» «The Morning Show,» and «The Patient.»
