I was supposed to meet Ed Helms out at a hotel restaurant to talk about THE STUNT DRIVER. But after a series of events, we wound up at a very little table in the hallway of a hotel basement sharing our favorite jokes from his VACATION movie

Ed Helms Might Be Growing Into More ‘Maturing Adult’ Roles, but He’s Still Ready for That ‘Vacation’ Sequel
The actor is starting to embrace roles in which he's the more grounded guy, like in "The Stunt Driver," but that doesn't mean the silly stuff is over.
