Steve Carell on making the character his own:
“I steered away from [watching the show] because I didn't want to do an impression of Don Adams. I figured there was no way to improve upon what he had done and I thought the more I watched of him, the more I would be inclined to be an impersonation because he was so good and so definitive in the role.”
Peter Segal on his behind-the-scenes team:
“Once Steve signed onto this project, everything sort of fell into place. Everybody wanted to come and play. And because of the tone that we set out to make, which Steve and I referred to as a comedic Bourne Supremacy, we went after the people who would make those kinds of movies.”
