Steve Carell voices the character Rooster in the 2024 live-action/animated film 'IF', written and directed by his former 'The Office' co-star John Krasinski. The film, released by Paramount Pictures, follows a young girl who can see people's forgotten imaginary friends.
Rooster is depicted as a large, purple, furry creature, described in promotional material as an old imaginary friend who is a bit past his prime. Carell's involvement was confirmed through official cast lists and studio-released trailers in early 2024.
The film's ensemble voice cast also includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., and the late Alan Kim. 'IF' premiered in theaters on May 17, 2024, and explores themes of childhood imagination and memory.
