Mister Rogers Movie: Who Should Play PBS Star?

It’s pretty much the opposite of the oft-discussed Fifty Shades of Grey in terms of subject matter, but a just-announced Mister Rogers biopic got us thinking: Who should play the iconic, laconic PBS children’s TV host? “His keen ability to find good in anyone, or anything, will make for a truly inspiring cinematic experience,” producer Justin Nappi says of the film. Fred Rogers died in 2003 at age 74. An ordained minister, he hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood from 1968-2001 and won countless awards. The biopic, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood , will need the perfect star to embody his soothing, gentle, easy-going, mellow and optimistic style. Beloved TV stars Ty Burrell and Steve Carell, among others, could be good fits for his childlike ways. Who do you think should play him? Vote/comment below!   Ty Burrell Matthew Broderick Seth Meyers Jimmy Fallon Steve Carell Tobey Maguire Other (cite in comments) View Poll »

Steve Carell to Reprise Michael Scott For The Office Series Finale

Steve Carell is bringing back Michael Scott, if only for one night. Having left at the end of Season 7 more than two years ago, the beloved actor will return to The Office for the series’ May 16 finale, according to reports. Just last week, creator Greg Daniels sought to quell talk of a Carell cameo, saying he did not want to overshadow the ending for the rest of the characters. Reading between the lines, that meant Michael Scott’s return would only be a small part of the series’ much-anticipated swan song, not the focal point. Reliable sources say he will return a week from Thursday, and this weekend, Carell surprised thousands of Office fans at a wrap party in Scranton, Pa. In related news, that was the same function in the sitcom’s real-life setting that longtime co-star Rainn Wilson ripped US Airways for making him late to. And in other (potential) Carell news, we think he’d be a good choice to star as the lead in the recently-announced Mister Rogers movie . Don’t you? In any case, are you excited for The Office series finale? How should the show handle his return, if at all? Hit the comments below to discuss!
