On Tuesday, a video displayed at six high school assemblies in Altadena, California, showed Carell explaining how he partnered with a charity that will cover the cost of prom tickets for the community that was affected by the devastating wildfires earlier this year.

“Attention. Attention all seniors. This is Steve Carell with a very special announcement. I work with a wonderful charity based out of Virginia called Alice’s Kids. And Alice’s Kids wanted me to let you know that they will be paying for all of your prom tickets,” he said in the video. “And if you have already paid for your prom tickets, they will reimburse you for your prom tickets. It’s a pretty good deal. Have fun. Enjoy the prom, and remember, this is Steve Carell.”

The message from The Office star was reminiscent of an episode from the NBC sitcom where Carell’s character, Michael Scott, says to students he will pay for their college tuition with the Scott’s Tots program. However, Scott doesn’t end up following through with his word. But that’s not the case for Carell here, as he’s partnered with Alice’s Kids, a nonprofit that aims to help kids improve their self-esteem.

The Alice’s Kids Instagram captioned Carell’s video: “A special message from our friend Steve Carell. Right now, this is being viewed by every senior at the six high schools in Altadena, CA!!”

The Welsh star, famed for roles in Good Omens, Twilight and more recently, A Very Royal Scandal, has started a debt acquisition company to help the group in his native south Wales. The business venture is documented in an upcoming Channel 4 documentary Michael Sheen’s Secret Million Pound Giveaway, set to air in the U.K. next week.

Sheen’s show aims to reveal how banks and finance companies are profiting from the country’s most vulnerable.

“The shocking thing is that people have started having to use credit cards, overdrafts to pay for basics, to pay for necessities, rather than luxuries or anything like that, so the debt that I was able to buy included credit card debt, overdrafts, car finance, that kind of stuff,” he said. “You need some help to get through these times. And people are getting into spirals of debt. Once you’re underwater it’s very hard to get out again. That’s why I wanted to do this — to draw attention to the fact that this is going on, and there is a way to change it, there are alternatives, and we need to push to try and make a difference for people.”

The actor was initially cautious about spending the money, he told BBC’s The One Show on Wednesday, saying he does not have £100,000 to “throw around” and therefore wanting the project to be “effective.” It was only when he met a woman in a Port Talbot cafe who told him about “steelworkers in tears” that Sheen decided to see the debt acquisition company through. Sheen’s efforts, directed at the Port Talbot region, come five months after the closure of a blast furnace in Wales, marking the end of traditional steelmaking in the region and prompting in the widespread loss of jobs.
