Carell ‘Office’ cameo?

Is this the unusually hirsute face of Steve Carell?

Eagle-eyed “The Office” fans are in a tizzy wondering if Carell — who played Dunder Mifflin boss Michael Scott for seven seasons — made an unexpected, unannounced cameo in last week’s episode, titled “Trivia.”

Most of the actor-in-question’s features were obscured by a big bushy beard, equally overgrown matching eyebrows and dark undereye shadows. But, at first glance, he certainly seems to be a good facsimile of Carell.

Carell left the series last spring. It’s been speculated that he might return as a guest star, since his character was not killed off. “I can’t say that he will, but [he] hasn’t ruled that out…he hasn’t said that he wouldn’t come back and do another episode for us in the future” series producer Randy Cordray said at the time.

Yesterday, NBC could not definitively confirm if it was Carell.
