Jonny Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 You can add me to the list of people who thinks Simon doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He's a fantastic actor who plays very different roles in the series from creepy guy to married and sensible, to freaking out and also displaying raw emotion. I've always especially liked his interactions with Jim, I think on the rare occasions they have a storyline when their characters aren't taking the piss out of each other it works so well.

vonmar Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 From a Deadline Hollywood review of Florence Foster Jenkins... "Helberg is ideal casting and, believe it or not, does all his own piano playing live. His deadpan facial expressions upon hearing those screeching musical notes are worth the price of admission. I predict right now this film will be a hit...." http://deadline.com/2016/08/florence-foster-jenkins-review-meryl-streep-hugh-grant-1201799429/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope people realise that those really are his hands playing the piano,” vouches Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen "Florence Floster Jekins" and his performance is great. He is such a wonderful actor who deserves more chances beyond "Wolowitz" role.

vonmar Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 From Yahoo Movies ‘The Big Bang Theory’ Star Simon Helberg to Receive Auteur Award at San Diego Film Festival The San Diego International Film Festival revealed that actor and filmmaker Simon Helberg will receive its 2016 Auteur Award. The trophy will be presented Sept 29th at The Night of the Stars Tribute at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla... The Auteur Award recognizes a multi-talented actor who brings unique personal visions to his or her craft. Helberg has earned acclaim for his performances on both the big and small screen, as well as behind the camera as a writer and director. He most recently received good reviews for his role opposite Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant in Stephen Frears’ “Florence Foster Jenkins.” He is perhaps best-known as one of the stars of CBS’ long-running sitcom hit “The Big Bang Theory.” Helberg made his feature directorial debut in 2015 with “We’ll Never Have Paris,” which had its world premiere at the 2014 South by Southwest Film Festival. He wrote the script, stars as the lead, and co-directed the film with his wife, writer/director Jocelyn Towne. Additional acting credits include “A Serious Man,” from Ethan and Joel Coen, and George Clooney’s “Good Night, and Good Luck.” “Simon has had an incredible past couple years of creating dynamic characters on screen as well as fostering his own vision as a filmmaker, and we are proud to honor him with this year’s Auteur Award” said Tonya Mantooth, the festival’s executive and artistic director.
