Ed Helms is a wildly successful actor, writer, standup comedian, singer and voiceover artist. In addition, he plays the guitar, banjo, and piano, as well as the sitar. He’s appeared in major motion pictures and on many TV shows. He does these things at an astonishing level of accomplishment, but there’s one more thing Mr Helms has going for him - a thing I call The Greatest Gift. You don’t have to be a celebrity or a brainiac to have it, but I can always tell when somebody does. It doesn’t require a degree from a fancy school or a professional pedigree. It only requires a certain cast of mind. I tend to think it’s something you’re born with it, but who’s to say?
