May has been a month of endings for Ed Helms. First came the series finale of The Office, a show he has been starring in since 2007.
John on the end of ‘The Office’: “It’s a life-changing event and there’s just no way to describe it”
Daniels talks about wrapping up storylines, finding out about the documentary crew and if Steve Carell will return
A guy The Office star refers to with a laugh as a “dick-y douche bag”, who thinks he has his own life under control, Pat is the polar opposite when compared to Jeff (played by Jason Segel).
Helms talks about starring in the film, directed by Jay and Mark Duplass, and about his character.
Falling firmly in the Duplass’ “mumblecore” style (who came up with that term, anyway?), Segel stars as 30 year-old Jeff, who as you might guess, still lives at home.
Ed: “I think that the characters that I play are just sort of a heightened version of myself”
Ed Helms has been one of the top go-to supporting actors for the past couple years now. After delivering hilarious performances in The Hangover, The Goods and TV’s The Office, someone wisely decided to give him his first lead role in a film.
