The plays are about people who have lost their way somehow or life has let them down but there’s also great joy and passion and comedy and a sense of the ridiculous … I think all those things are at play.”Molina raves about Carell, 61 — “he takes the work seriously but he doesn’t take himself seriously” — and admits (sadly) that he’s yet to utter the immortal “Office” line “That’s what she said,” at an opportune moment.“It’s my wife’s [‘Frozen’ director Jennifer Lee] favorite joke and it never gets old,” he noted.Molina’s career spans five decades.
