“This word gets overused in describing actors but I think it applies to Mike [Tyson] in this case - he was totally fearless. He jumped in and played with us comedically and improvised a lot. A lot of jokes in those scenes with him are from him improvising.” ThinkingActorsCasesSceneJokesFearlessMikeDescribingImprovisingTysonOverused Author:Ed Helms
“We played around and improvised a ton [in The Hangover], and I think it's hard to say at this point what's what. Gosh, I wouldn't even know how to take a stab at it. The script was so good that we really didn't need to improvise very much, but I think we just found a lot of moments on the set. It's really cool when you get onto the set of a movie and you start shooting the scenes and you start to actually incorporate the environment.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsHardMomentsFoundKnow HowEnvironmentSceneScriptsShootingReally CoolHangover Author:Ed Helms
“I'm working on a script right about Civil War re-enactors who go back in time to the actual Civil War. It's kind of a big, crazy Back to the Future comedy. So, of course, it's the Civil War - I play the banjo. I was just having a conversation with one of the producers about some of the material and he was like, 'You know, we have to work in a scene where you play the banjo. And I was like I'll get behind that.” KnowsKindWarPlayBigsCoursesBehindsComedyCrazyMaterialsLike YouSceneConversationScriptsProducersCivil WarBack In TimeBanjosGo Back In Time Author:Ed Helms

“The scene [in The Hangover] where the tiger actually pops up behind us, that's actually a Jim Henson tiger puppet. The Jim Henson Company actually supplied that tiger. And it's really cool. Its entire face moves. It has like all these little motors in its eyebrows and cheeks and mouth. It was amazing.” LittlesFacesMovingBehindsCompanySceneMouthsPopsCheeksTigersEyebrowsMotorReally CoolPuppetsHangover Author:Ed Helms
