The improv stuff, that's always surprising so a lot of times that's really funny.

As much as you do get beat-up doing even small action sequences, it's incredibly fun.

I'm sure I cause just as much consternation for editors as any other actor, but it definitely makes me feel more comfortable understanding how and why all the different camera setups exist.

We spent six weeks there [in Vegas]. The only thing crazy that I did was shoot that movie [The Hangovers]. The stuff in that movie is way crazier than anything I might have done, drunk one night in Vegas. I mean we did it for real in the movie, so that's as crazy as it got.

I'm pretty sure no one's reading action scripts saying, 'This has got to be Ed Helms.'

I think the culture of Civil War re-enacting is also incredibly fascinating.

I found myself often asking the question, "Who deserves to be made fun of?" Depending on your mood, the answer can be no one or everyone. It took me a while to understand the math of how those field pieces came together. I don't think that ridicule is ever funny, but there are times when that gets the biggest response.
