Simon Helberg Movies
Though initially typecast in comedic roles -- including a small turn in
Old School (2003), a contribution to
Tracey Ullman in The Trailer Tales (2003), and work on
MADtv -- American character actor
Simon Helberg quickly branched out into diverse genres. He appeared as a CBS page in
George Clooney's revered
Edward R. Murrow biopic
Good Night, and Good Luck., as a junior agent in
Christopher Guest's
For Your Consideration (2006), and in a recurring role on the
Aaron Sorkin comedy drama
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. In 2007,
Helberg was cast in the regular role of Howard Wolowitz on the sitcom
The Big Bang Theory, about a couple of nerdy physicists (
Johnny Galecki and
Jim Parsons) who struggle with women, and everything else outside the lab. In 2007,
Helberg also made appearances in the comedies
Mama's Boy and
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
