The Hollywood Reporter this week published a lengthy profile of Acton-Marshfield-bred actor Steve Carell, who just finished shooting “The Way, Way Back” here. The story reports Carell is impossibly nice, and quotes Tina Fey saying of her “Date Night” costar: “He worked a long time before he broke through, and that makes a huge difference.” Of his nice-guy status, Carell says, “It’s not like I want to put sunshine and lollipops into the world. But I do believe there’s been a turn toward an uber-cynical point of view, and it’s borderline mean.” “The Way, Way Back” wrapped last weekend with a party for cast and crew at a Marshfield beach house owned by the Tedeschi clan. We’re told Carell and costar Toni Collette were not there, but actors Rob Corddry and Allison Janney and co-directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash were.
