It's gripping in a way the show has never been. It certainly gives this new season a very dark edge. I was like, "Oh, my gosh!" He is such an amazing actor. I just watched Sex, Lies, and Videotape a couple of months ago. He throws a pit bull in his friend's face to save his own life!Įllie Kemper: Oh, my gosh! I haven't seen that one yet.But I had the same experience with him. I just recently watched The New Kids, from way back in the 80s, where he plays this bleached blonde badass bully who is tormenting these new kids in town. It's easy to forget some of the truly evil dudes he's played, and that obviously lingers around Robert California. In a great way, but in a way that is completely different.Īnd you have James Spader adding this heavy, ominous weight in the corner. Having Ed Helms in there now? It changes the dynamics of it. Which is what you need when you reach the 8th season of any show.Įllie Kemper: I agree with you.
I thought the show was quite different in tone from previous seasons. Of course, people have only just seen it now. I keep forgetting that people didn't know Ed Helms was going to be the boss. I think it went over.Pretty well? I don't know. I went to an episode screening with the cast and crew, so of course, there, the response was positive, since everyone there made it. That came in from left field for some of us.Įllie Kemper: That's right! Exactly. I really didn't think that was the direction the show was headed. How has the response been from last Thursday's Office Season 8 debut? I was a little bit surprised, myself.Įllie Kemper: What were you surprised about?Įd Helms took me completely off guard. Below is our conversation, which spans this blockbuster comedy, her role as Erin on Season 8 of The Office, her role in the upcoming big screen adaptation of 21 Jump Street, and the possibility of a Bridesmaids 2. To celebrate, we caught up with one of the Bridesmaids herself, Ellie Kemper, who plays the innocent Disney World loving Becca in this raucous laugher. The smash hit Bridesmaids has arrived on Blu-ray and DVD. Ellie Kemper stars alongside Kristin Wiig and Maya Rudolph in this blockbuster comedy, on Blu-ray and DVD today!
