The talented and multi-faceted Tyler Perry recently released his latest film in his popular Madea franchise, Madea’s Witness Protection, earlier this summer. An actor, director, screen and playwright, producer, author and songwriter, Perry actually wrote and stars in the comedy as the title character. Madea’s particular sassy brand of humor plays out through hilarious threats of physical violence, sarcasm and a tendency to overreact.

Have no fear though; Carell will be revisiting his true comedy roots in several upcoming films, including the highly-anticipated Anchorman 2 with Will Ferrell, slated for release in 2013!
