biography:
Edward Parker Helms 1974. január 24-én született Atlantában, Georgia államban. Édesapja, John A. Helms ügyvédként dolgozott, míg édesanyja Pamela Ann Helms iskolai titkárként. Ed volt a legkisebb gyermekük, a színésznek egy nővére és egy bátyja van. 14 éves korában egy nyitott szívműtétet kellett végrehajtani rajta. A The Westminister Schoolsban érettségizett, majd az Oberlin College-on tanult földrajzot, de később átjelentkezett, és végül filmelméletből szerzett diplomát 1996-ban.

Az egyetemen után írással és rendezéssel próbálkozott, s tagja volt az Upright Citizens Brigade színtársulatnak. Első filmes munkája egy rövidfilmnek, a The Pirates of Central Park vágása volt. 2002-től kezdve a The Daily Show oszlopos tagja volt egészen 2009-ig.

Első filmszerepét 2004-ben kapta a Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story-ban, amelyet később olyan filmek követtek, mint az I’ll Believe You, az Evan, a mindenható, és A lankadatlan: A Dewey Cox-sztori. 2006-ban csatlakozott A hivatal stábjához, ahol ő játszotta Andy Bernardot, illetve két részt rendezett is a sorozatból. Emellett olyan szériákban lehetett még látni, mint a Cheap Seats: Without Ron Parke, Az ítélet: család, a Kroll Show, a Wainy Days és a Halálosan komolytalan.

2008-tól főleg vígjátékokban szerepelt, olyanokban, mint a Fél-profi, Az üresfejű, az Alulképző, és az Efy boltkóros naplója. Hírnevét is egy nagy sikerű vígjátéknak köszönhető: Todd Phillips 2009-es filmjében, a Másnaposokban ő alakította Stu Price-t, a fogorvost, amely az év egyik legsikeresebb filmje lett. A filmhez két folytatás is készült 2011-ben és 2013-ban. További filmjei közül megemlíthető a Céges buli, A verda horda – Aludj el, vagy hullj el!, az Éjszaka a múzeumban 2. és a Jeff, aki otthon lakik.

2013-ban szerepelt a Családi üzelmekben, és a Tiny Commando című mini sorozatban, amelynek írója és producere is volt. A következő évben a They Caem Together, a Stetch a Vállalhatatlan zsák foltot keres című filmekben, valamint a Brooklyn 99: Nem százas körzetben is lehetett látni. 2015-ben főszereplője a Vakáció című filmnek és játszott a Káosz karácsonyrában is. 2016-ban producerként működött közre Dwayne Johnson és Kevin Hart vígjátékában, a Központi hírszerzésben. 2017-ben olyan filmekben fog szerepelni, mint a Tag, a The Clapper, a Chappaquiddick, a Stand By, az Apavadászat és a Captain Underpants.

A színészkedés mellett gyakran vállal szinkronszerepeket is. Olyan filmekben halhattuk a hangját, mint a Kis nagy hős, a Szörnyek az űrlények ellen és a Lorax, illetve olyan animációs sorozatokban is, mint a Family Guy, az Amerikai fater és a BoJack Horseman. Két barátjával, Ian Riggs-szel és Jacob Tilove-val egy bluegrass bandában játszik.
