The path to success can be long and tiring. It is very important not to lose reference and believe in your destiny. Simon Helberg has gone the tedious path of recognition. At the same time, he did not lose optimism and love for others.
Starting conditions
Almost every boy from California dreams of acting in films. Simon Helberg is no exception to this list. The child was born on December 9, 1980 in an artistic family. Parents at that time lived in Los Angeles. My father worked as an actor and producer, and my mother wrote scripts and organized auditions. The boy grew up in a creative environment and at the same time in strict rules. From an early age, he began to study music and became interested in martial arts.
An old piano stood in the house, and a teacher came to Simon for classes. After the boy's insistent requests, when he was five years old, his mother took him to classes in the karate section. In many ways, he imitated the hero of the movie "Karate Kid" and persistently trained. At ten, Sensei girded Simon in a black belt. The future actor received secondary education at a local college. It was here that he became interested in playing in school performances. And he got the first idea of how theater and film artists live. He especially liked comedic roles.
Professional activity
After graduating from college, the motivated Helberg was determined to become an actor. To achieve this goal, he entered the famous art school at the University of New York. During the training, the student did not leave music lessons. He wrote texts, composed melodies and performed with his works on stage. He performed not alone, but with teams that he himself created. Several projects received approval from a grateful audience. In parallel with his studies, he was engaged in creativity on the set.
It is interesting to note that the directors were not very willing to invite the young artist to their projects. Since 2002, Simon starred in episodes and played supporting roles. The acting career abruptly went uphill after the series The Big Bang Theory. Critics noted that the character played by Helberg, in all respects, corresponds to the chosen role of the actor. The audience simply accepted the film with a bang and openly demonstrated their love for the unlucky hero.
