Edward Paul Helms

No wonder it is said that the most difficult genre in cinema is comedy. To make the viewer cry, it is enough to shoot a melodrama in the Hachiko style. To make a movie lover scared, the directors “catch up with suspense,” the techniques of which were shared by Alfred Hitchcock.

But in order for those sitting at the screens to laugh, holding on to their stomachs, the actors really need to try: they need not only to have impeccable charisma, but also to be able to play around the typical problems encountered in the life of an ordinary person.

Talking about comedians Jim Carrey, Leslie Nilson, Steve Martin, it is worth highlighting Ed Helms, who played in "The Hangover in Vegas."

The future actor was born on January 24, 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia. It is noteworthy that the actor's parents do not belong to the world of cinema. Ed's father John A. Helms worked in the mundane profession of a lawyer and resolved legal issues. Also, the head of the family was an insurance director and a veteran of the Navy. John Helms' wife, Pamela Ann (née Parker), served as the school administrator.

It is also known from the actor's biography that he grew up in a large family. Ed is the youngest of three children, and the Helms also raised his sister Susan and brother Paxton, who is now a high school geography teacher.

As a child, the future actor had health problems. As a 13-year-old boy, he underwent major heart surgery: doctors diagnosed the child with subaortic stenosis.

When Ed was 18 years old, he graduated from school, which is located in the historic district of London - Westminster. Further Helms became a student at Oberlin College, studying at the Faculty of Geology. In addition, Ed served as an exchange student at the School of Art at New York University. The comedian also holds an honorary doctorate from Knox College.

That Helms became a famous comedian is not surprising at all. After all, already in childhood, the future actor possessed charm and a sense of humor, making others laugh. However, his path to fame was thorny: initially the young man worked as a screenwriter for films, and then took part in episodic and minor roles. But Ed Helms did not give up and did it for a reason: soon all of America started talking about him.

Participation in stand-up played into Helms's hands. After all, he had to make the audience laughing through improvisation: the young man did not have the right to make mistakes, which movie actors have, because in case of failure, the directors provide a second take, and Ed “performed live”.

When Helms saw the smile on the faces of the audience, he had no doubts about his calling. Many point out that Ed's improvised humor can be attributed to "noble": the actor's jokes were not sarcastic, he did not snide, like George Carlin, Louis CK and the progenitor of trolling Andy Kaufman.

Among other things, Ed Helms was remembered by the audience for participating in the show with John Stewart, where he tried on the image of a journalist who tells fables, thereby making fans laugh sincerely.

As for the films, Helms "remained in the shadows" for a long time: it was only in the summer of 2006 that NBC announced Ed's episodic participation in the series "Office", which was filmed in the genre of pseudo-documentary. The plot of this serial film is very trivial.

The location is the regional office of Dunder Mifflin, which supplies paper products. The directors show the life of every clerk: “white collars” do not only routine work, but have their own quirks, habits and complexes.

Further, in 2008, Ed took part in the comedy "Harold and Kumar 2: Escape from Guantanamo", and also starred in the tape "Meet Dave", where he worked on the same set with Eddie Murphy, Elizabeth Banks, Kevin Hart and other actors ...

In 2009, Ed Helms' life came to its finest hour, because he played the role of Stu Price in the film "Hangover in Vegas" directed by Todd Phillips, where Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis also took part. The plot of the comedy tells about friends who dreamed of an unforgettable time.

However, after the party, the men will have to remember what exactly happened: where did the tiger come from in the bathroom and where the groom preparing for the wedding disappeared. From the role of a confident guy, an awkward man who becomes a burden for everyone, and a boring "lucky" Helms got the last.

Price is unlucky: he will wake up with a knocked out tooth, then with a tattoo on his forehead. However, when the actor was asked about the relationship between the three actors in life, he replied:

Further, Helms' filmography was replenished with roles in the films "Not a Womanizer" (2011), "Jeff Living at Home" (2011), "Lorax" (2012, voice acting) and many others.

In 2013, the actor took part in the comedy film We Are the Millers alongside Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts and Will Poulter. The plot of the tape plunges viewers into the everyday life of the petty drug dealer David Clarke, who sells psychotropic substances to cooks and bored housewives. But after the main character was beaten on the street and his money was taken away, he needs a new plan on how to get his old money back.

In the same 2013, Helms briefly appeared in the TV series "Brooklyn 9-9", where he played Andy Samberg, Andre Broger, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero. Although after "The Hangover in Vegas" Helms got the heroes of the second plan, nevertheless, the charismatic man was remembered by the audience.

The exception was Love the Coopers, starring Diane Keaton, John Goodman, Alan Arkin and Amanda Seyfried. The enchanting comedy, filmed in 2015, tells the story of four generations of representatives of one family, which gathers around the same festive table on Christmas Eve.

In 2017, Helms was fortunate enough to co-star in Who's Our Daddy, Dude ?, which also included Glenn Close, J.C. Simmons, Catherine Aselton, Owen Wilson, Bill Irwin and Ryan Cartwright.

The picture tells about two brothers who, thanks to their mother, were sure that their father had passed away. But when the main characters found out that this was far from the case, they went in search of their parent, simultaneously getting into funny situations.

Cheerful Ed Helms leads an active lifestyle. The man loves to travel, as well as attend creative events. The actor also has a hobby: he is fond of music: he plays the banjo, guitar and piano, as evidenced by photos and videos on Instagram. Occasionally, the artist gives concerts together with his old comrades, calling his team "Lonely Trio".

But whether the comedian has a beloved, fans do not know. Either the actor carefully hides his personal life, or a man with a height of 183 cm and weighing 76 kg never met his soul mate.

The actor continues to accept offers from directors. In 2018, Ed starred in the film "You Drive!" Directed by Jeff Tomsik.

The comedy tells how five friends have a tradition: every May, since 1983, they play tag. But Jerry is the only member of the group who has never been "mocked." Therefore, the rest of the heroes have to come up with a cunning plan. It is noteworthy that Helms got the main role.
