Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of MaximumFun.org and is distributed by NPR.

I'm Jesse Thorn, it's Bullseye.

Ed Helms got his start as a correspondent on the daily show with John Stewart.

He has run there, he also booked a gig on a little show called The Office.

For seven seasons he played the awkward but lovable Andy Bernard.

An insecure dunder mifflin paper salesman prone to occasional rage and of course to

a cappella singing.

His breakout movie role was The Hangover.

We know The Hangover, probably a group of guys take a trip to Las Vegas for a wild bachelor

party.

They wake up with a hangover and no memory of what had happened the night before as they

stumble around Vegas trying to piece together the details.

The movie was a smash hit, it spawned two sequels, which were also big hits.

The franchise turned Ed Helms into what Hollywood insiders like me like to call a movie star.

Sorry if that's too jargonny.

His latest role is in Netflix's Coffee and Kareem.

It's an action comedy with a bit of a sweet side.

In it he portrays a Detroit police officer named James Coffee.

Coffee isn't particularly good at his job, he doesn't get a lot of respect at the precinct.

In fact as the movie starts he just accidentally lost a big time criminal.

But then he's thrust into action.

Coffee has to rescue his girlfriend and her 12 year old son, named Kareem.
