Steve Carell will be returning the cameo favour to Ricky Gervais in his new show Life’s Too Short.

Described by Gervais as a cross between The Office and Extras, Life’s Too Short stars Warwick Davis (Harry Potter, Leprechaun – check it out, it’s hilarious) as the ego-driven head of a talent angry for little people.

Digital Spy writes that Carell will join Sting and other stars including Johnny Depp, Keith Chegwin and Sophie Ellis-Bextor for various cameos throughout the series.

Ricky Gervais appeared twice in the latest season of the US series of The Office after years of speculation whether he would or not.

Watch season six of The Office Wednesdays at 10pm only on Comedy Central. Here’s a sneak peek of next week’s episode.
