Even Steve Carell is a bit tired of Michael Scott on "The Office."
Scranton's major employer Dunder Mifflin will have to find a new manager.
Carell told E!: "When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go."
"[This might] add some new life and some new energy to the show," he says about leaving a role that earned him multiple Emmy nominations. "I certainly didn't anticipate any hubbub over it. I didn't see it as a huge deal."
"[The writers]," he adds, "have incorporated so many new characters and so many new, great storylines that I have no doubt it'll continue as strong if not stronger than ever."
