The guy from "The Office" gears up for a round of big-screen golfing. Steve Carell is in talks to join "Missing Links," a sports comedy Warner Bros. is developing based on the novel by ESPN journalist Rick Reilly.

Risky Business says funny guy Carell would play a golfer who's played at a run-down Boston golf course for years and now finally decides to do whatever it takes to get to play his favorite sport at an elite club.

Jay Lavender, who previousy penned the shockingly terrible comedy "The Break-Up," is taking a stab at the script. He's also prepping "The Golden Tux."

Carell is a busy man these days. The star of "Get Smart" has several projects coming soon, including "Date Night" and "Dinner for Schmucks." He is also voicing a character in 2010's "Despicable Me."

Carell has delievered a bunch of memorable performances over the years, but the thought at watching him run around on the golf course scares me a bit. However, as long as he's got some good material to work with, I'm game.

By the way, "The Office" is an freakingly hilarious show, don't you think?
