"I think he's someone who doesn't necessarily feel at ease in his professional world. He inadvertently became a fairly famous writer and he feels a little awkward about it. And I think I sort of have always felt that way about acting. It didn't really suit my personality because I think I tend to be a little more shy. I related to that."
"Much of "Rooster" centers around Greg's close, but somewhat complicated, relationship with Katie, a college professor who's struggling to come to terms with the recent breakup of her marriage, as well as Greg's acceptance of his own divorce five years earlier."
Steve Carell stars in HBO's "Rooster" as Greg Russo, a bestselling author who moves to a Vermont college town after his daughter Katie experiences a personal crisis. Carell reveals he is naturally shy and sees significant parallels between himself and his character, who feels awkward about his professional fame despite not actively seeking it. The show explores the complicated relationship between Greg and Katie, a college professor navigating her recent divorce, while also addressing Greg's acceptance of his own divorce from five years prior. Created by Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses, "Rooster" blends humor with serious moments about life's challenges, featuring an ensemble cast including Phil Dunster, Annie Mumolo, and John C. McGinley.
