Quick Links Why Did The Office Change the Actress Who Plays Pam's Mom? Michael Scott Dated Pam's Mom For a Bit & It Was Horrible Pam's mom was an important character in The Office. She had a great relationship with her daughter and also dated Michael Scott for a bit. Helene Beesly was played by two different actresses: Shannon Cochran and Linda Purl. Helene appeared briefly at the beginning of the second season and didn't come back until the sixth season to attend her daughter's wedding, which is when she officially meets Michael.

Pam's mom, Helene Beesly, is a small character in The Office, but she was a part of many people's favorite storylines. Many viewers might not have even noticed, however, that Helene was played by two different actresses, since Shannon Cochran's portrayal was so short-lived. Cochran and Linda Purl both portrayed the character. Cochran played Helene in The Office Season 2, Episode 2, "Sexual Harassment.

The Bear is an ongoing dramedy series that focuses on a struggling restaurant and its crew of ragtag cooks.

Carmy Berzatto, a big-time fancy chef who returned to Chicago to take over his deceased brother's business, heads up The Bear, formerly The Beef.

The Bear appeared on FX and Hulu in 2022, with The Bear Season 3 available for streaming on Hulu as of June 27, 2024.

If you think some of the faces seem familiar, you're probably right.

The Bear has a diverse cast of actors, some series regulars and others who only appear as surprise guests, showing up for a few short scenes.

Here are the cast of The Bear and where they've been in their careers before joining the award-winning FX family dramedy.

The Bear isn't just the name of the series and the newly revamped Chicago restaurant.

It’s a “Hot Glen Summer” at the movies.

Just like the immortal words of Megan Thee Stallion, who’s billed every summer since 2019 the perfect time to do “hot girl shit,” Glen Powell is heating up movie screens. Summer 2024 firmly establishes him as a power player with Netflix’s “Hit Man,” the Prime Video documentary “The Blue Angels” and Universal “Twisters” dropping in rapid succession.

In the words of Retta — who first met Powell on the 2014 indie rom-com “Sex Ed” before they reunited for “Hit Man” — “Homie is a straight up movie star.”

“This is the summer of Glen,” director Richard Linklater concurs. “They’re all ‘Johnny come lately’ to the Glen Powell thing. Anybody who’s known Glen for the last 10-plus years knows that he’s a star. He’s smart. He’s funny. He’s hard working.”

Like Retta, Linklater has had a front row seat to the actor’s glow-up,...

Some film festivals take themselves entirely too seriously. Not South by Southwest, the Austin-based multidisciplinary mega-event where amped-up crowds welcome comedies with open arms — the raunchier the better. This year, one logline stood out as especially promising: “A 30-year-old Indian American virgin gets a job teaching high school Sex Ed.” Alas, “Doin’ It” doesn’t cut it (it’s basically 2014 Haley Joel Osment comedy “Sex Ed” with a cultural spin). The concept is funny, but the execution feels forced, in part because the substitute in question (played by Lilly Singh) is supposed to be following an abstinence-based curriculum. In theory, her deep-seated celibacy should make her perfect for the job.

The movie aims to combat the shame around all aspects of human sexuality, which seems like an admirable but inevitably controversial goal. But “Doin’ It” goes too far straight out of the gate, opening with an embarrassment no teenager can...

Josephine Langford, the talented Australian actress, has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with her captivating performances in the popular After film series. Born on August 18, 1997, in Perth, Australia, Langford has quickly risen to fame and established herself as a promising young talent in the entertainment industry. In this article, we will delve into Langford’s early life, her journey to stardom, and her notable filmography, shedding light on her remarkable achievements and contributions to the world of cinema.

Langford also has an older sister, Katherine Langford, who is also an accomplished actress.

If you thought the premiere of Sex Education‘s final season felt more like a spinoff or a backdoor pilot, you’re not alone! When the Netflix dramedy returns for its fourth go-around (all eight episodes are now available to stream), things have changed quite a great deal in Moordale. Maeve is in America, Otis and Eric are starting at a new college that feels more like a hippie cult or summer camp for horny teens, and Jean’s busy dealing with her new bundle of joy, Joy.

There’s a lot to dive into, so let’s do just that!

Abby Elliott has come a long way since her "Saturday Night Live" days. Since leaving the sketch comedy series in 2012, Abby has landed the sitcoms "Odd Mom Out" and "Indebted," as well as films like "Sex Ed" and "Better Off Single." Currently, she stars in the award-winning series "The Bear." In the show, Abby plays Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto, who is the coowner of The Beef restaurant. "It's really exciting to be a part of something that has touched so many people," Abby said about her involvement on the show during an August 2022 episode of "The Last Laugh" podcast. "[It's the first time I've been a] part of a project that people have really responded to in this sort of way."

Abby's success as an actor isn't surprising since she comes from a family of entertainers. Her father is comedian Chris Elliott, while her mother is actor and talent coordinator Paula Niedert Elliott. Abby is also the granddaughter of radio personality Bob Elliott,...

Anyone But You footage screened at CinemaCon contains a lot of nudity involving the two lead stars. Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney and Top Gun: Maverick's Glen Powell are joining forces for an R-rated rom-com, which is officially titled Anyone But You. Last month, the movie was the subject of much buzz online with set photos showing Powell and Sweeney sizzling in swimsuits and a set video showing the Top Gun: Maverick star jumping out of a moving helicopter.

Now, Sweeney and Powell have officially wrapped shooting Anyone But You in Australia and the first footage was screened at CinemaCon, which Screen Rant was in attendance for.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell just wrapped shooting Anyone Byt You in Australia, an R-rated comedy. We watched some dailies from it. Lots of naked scenes, lol. — Screen Rant (@screenrant) April 25, 2023

The footage contains "lots of naked scenes" as the two stars get intimate with each other.

Exclusive: Christina Anthony (Mixed-ish), Ray Santiago (Ash vs. Evil Dead) and Melanie J. Newby (Halt & Catch Fire) are set as series regulars opposite Amber Ruffin in NBC comedy pilot Non-Evil Twin from Universal Television.

Written by Ruffin and Kenny Smith, the multi-camera pilot stars Ruffin playing the dual roles of twin sisters Angie and Amber. Angie is the ruthless CEO of AngieCorp, who is as heartless as she is rich. Angie instills fear in everyone she meets, except her caring sister, Amber, who only sees the good in her. Amber—a pushover when it comes to Angie—is forced to step in as the leader of AngieCorp, a Fortune 500 company, despite knowing little about business and even less about the way her sister has been running the corporation.

Anthony will play Christina, Angie’s assistant/acolyte who believes she’s the smartest person in the room and easily annoyed by others.

When Aimee Lou Wood would tell people that she was starring in “Living,” a re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa’s classic story of a terminally ill bureaucrat’s quest for meaning, the response she received terrified her.

“Everyone I spoke would tell me it was their favorite film of all time or the most beautiful film of all time,” she says. “It was a lot of pressure.”

But after watching the original, she became convinced that “Living,” which moves the setting from Japan to 1950s Great Britain, had used the elements of Kurosawa’s story that made it so powerful, but provided a fresh perspective that’s uniquely its own. It also helped that the film gave Wood, best known for her work as the popular and big-hearted teenager Aimee Gibbs on Netflix’s “Sex Education,” a chance to work alongside one of her acting icons, Bill Nighy. The two play Mr.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Sex Education” Season 3, streaming now on Netflix.

In “Sex Education” Season 3, Chinenye Ezeudu does it like an animal.

Ezeudu first appeared in the show last season as Viv Odusanya, the overbearingly smart quiz team student who tutors (and lightly flirts with) cool-guy Jackson Marchetti (Kedar Williams-Stirling). She starts off as an archetype of a nerdy, career-focused schoolgirl, then becomes more three-dimensional as the show exposes her friendships and her heart.

Season 3 continued that work. Viv begins the season obsessed to the point of obnoxiousness with their school’s new head teacher, girlboss-type Hope Haddon (Jemima Kirke). She ends up hurting Jackson in the process of following in Hope’s footsteps, taking over his position as head student and disregarding his fight for freedom of expression on campus. She also finally joins other “Sex Education” characters in having her sexuality...

Feature film veterans Robert Molloy, Kristian Krempel, and Joseph Restaino have formed Florida-based Pinstripe Productions.

The company takes its name from Molloy’s affiliation with the New York Yankees baseball team as the grandson of longtime owner George Steinbrenner. The sons, Harold and Hank Steinbrenner, inherited the team, sometimes known as the Pinstripers. Molloy, the son of Jessica Steinbrenner, began working with the team when he was in his teens.

Molloy’s first film, the live-action “The Little Mermaid,” will open theatrically on Aug. 17 in partnership with AMC Theaters. The film stars William Moseley, Poppy Drayton, Gina Gershon, and Shirley MacLaine.

“I am excited to be involved in this new partnership with talented people that continue to make art that will last a lifetime,” Molloy said. “My first experience on ‘The Little Mermaid’ was a very gratifying and humbling one.”

The day The New York Times broke the Harvey Weinstein story, I found myself choking back bile all day.

In the weeks since, it has become resoundingly clear that Weinstein is a virulent serial predator, and has earned whatever hell rains down on him. But Harvey Weinstein isn’t the problem, and bringing him down — while satisfying, necessary, and just — will be far from sufficient if we don’t simultaneously tear down our rotten corporate culture and reckon with our own complicity in propping it up.

As democracy derives its consent from the governed, tyranny derives its consent from the tyrannized. And while it’s long overdue, I no longer consent to being tyrannized.

I wasn’t sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein. I worked with him briefly, consulting on “sex, lies, and videotape,” the film that changed the independent film business, Sundance, and Harvey forever; the film whose prescient title...

The 29-year-old Saturday Night Live alum married Kennedy at her childhood church in Connecticut last September, alongside a wedding party of 16 bridesmaids and groomsmen who were family members and close friends of the couple.

Abby wore a lace gown by Leanne Marshall, while Bill donned a blue custom Duca Sartoria suit.

In keeping with tradition, the duo didn't see each other until the ceremony. "We didn't have a first look, so the first time we saw each other was at the church," Elliott shares. "And he made sure not to talk to me before the wedding or before bed the night before."

There is a reason why The Fosters is one of the best family dramas on television.

The Fosters Season 4 Episode 15 is a prime example of what the show looks like when it’s at it’s best. Bold, relevant, and fearlessly tackling real life, occasionally controversial, issues with grace, tact, and without being too preachy.

When the show is at the top of its game, it gives us thought-provoking television, representative of the diverse world that we live in. It makes us invested in the family, so much so, that we feel like we're a part of it ourselves.

And the best part is, regardless of our differences, it's plausible that we could be part of this family.

Sex-Ed was probably one of the most balanced installments of the season. It slowed down on the overly dramatic angst fest on steroids, that has been prevalent, and gave us simple family...

The Student, which is translated on screen as “The Disciple” (an interpretation far more fitting, although the Russian word used is also close to “Martyr”) is, if nothing else, an intensely frustrating film. Directed with the subtlety of a shotgun by Kirill Serebrennikov and shot with a formally energetic approach full of vim and vigor by Vladislav Opelyants, it is a film which actually has the force and rigor to take on the thorny subject of religious fundamentalism. But even if it is visually up to the task, The Student is hobbled by its script and hog tied by its characters.

A screed against religion, or to be more precise, the fundamental devotion to a religious text, in this case The Bible, The Student is a film with the potential for great satire and importance, grounded in the decision to show a conviction towards the text not often seen on...

I had no idea that AMC was developing a show called Feed the Beast with David Schwimmer and Jim Sturgess in the leads, but not only do we have a few images to share with you, but there's already a first look trailer available to watch (via Uproxx). It's a very quick look at the series, and it won't actually give you much information about the story, but luckily I have the full synopsis below:

“Feed the Beast” tells the story of Tommy (Schwimmer) and Dion (Sturgess) who are like brothers. With all the love – and all the complications – that comes with it. Dion can’t stay out of trouble. Tommy can’t move past it. For two friends on the brink of losing everything, a dusty pipe dream of opening up an upscale restaurant in their hometown of the Bronx is all they have left to turn their lives around.

On the TV side, Season 2 of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Scandal Season 4 will become available, as will the third season of the Netflix Original Series Orange Is the New Black and the first season of Sense8, from creators Lana and Andy Wachowski. Check out the full list of new to Netflix titles below.

It’s almost June and that means Netflix is about to give their content a refresh. Some of the notable titles leaving in June include Rain Man, Taxi Driver, and Donnie Brasco. So if you haven’t seen some of these titles, plan your nights accordingly. We of course can look forward more than a few new titles including the premiere of the Wachowskis’ show Sense8, the new season of Orange is the New Black, Nightcrawler, and Jon Stewart’s film Rosewater.

When Sam Raimi talked about the possibility of an Evil Dead TV series last year, there were many who thought the project would never see the light of day, but it became official late last year. Bruce Campbell is returning for Ash vs Evil Dead, a new TV series that will premiere later this year on Starz and we have the names of two people that will be joining Ash in his fight.

“Ray Santiago (“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) will play the role of Pablo Simon Bolivar and Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) will play Kelly Maxwell in the Starz original series “Ash vs Evil Dead.” The series is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film franchise The Evil Dead and is set to film on location in New Zealand this spring and premiere on Starz in late 2015.

Adult virgins are held in pretty much the same regard as post-transformation Gregor Samsa. In real life, they're fairly rare, though not complete unicorns, and are often considered peculiar by the sexually active majority. So virginity makes for a pretty good existential device for storytellers to isolate a character from the rest of humanity without actually turning him or her into a bug. In Sex Ed, directed by Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker Isaac Feder, Haley Joel Osment's virginal Ed Cole is a science teacher who can't find a job during the recession. Hired by a Tampa district as a new "after-school activities coordinator," he quickly determines that means he's a junior-high detention monitor. He realizes that the preadolescent kids know nothing about sex, an...

Welcome back to Hollywood, Haley Joel Osment. The 26-year-old actor—who, at the age of 11, was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in The Sixth Sense—is returning to the spotlight after taking a lengthy break from Tinseltown to attend the Experimental Theatre Workshop program at Nyu Tisch, where he successfully honed his craft away from the spotlight. So when Osment stopped by E! News on Friday—be sure to check out his interview at 7 and 11 p.m. tonight—we had to ask the former child star to dish on his plethora of forthcoming projects, including his upcoming film Sex Ed as well as the Kevin Smith-directed comedy Yoga Hosers and his appearance in the Entourage...

It can't be ignored that "Mulaney" premiered last Sunday night on Fox and the ratings weren't especially good. I got on the phone with creator-star John Mulaney on Thursday and made a promise up-front: I'd lead with quick ratings discussion and then never return to the topic and we stuck to it. The bottom line on that subject: Fox is 100 percent behind "Mulaney" and the network knows things will turn around. And what else would anyone say after one week? Mostly, we discussed the learning process on "Mulaney," which was originally developed at NBC, moved over to Fox and which is already far deeper into production than most freshman shows. This week, in fact, found "Mulaney" working on its 13th episode, while Mulaney was also, at least according to Twitter, parlaying with old chum Bill Hader in advance of Hader's "SNL" hosting stint, so it's impressive both that he found time to chat all,...

Ever wonder what happened to Haley Joel Osment? If so, you might well welcome the trailer for the new sex-comedy Sex Ed, which has the former child star playing a hapless sex-ed teacher who lives the cliché, "those who can't do, teach." See, Ed (Osment's character) is a virgin. And hilarity ensues! In the late 1990s/early 2000s, Haley Joel Osment was an adorable child actor who won the world's notice with his gripping role opposite Bruce Willis in M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense. Playing the haunted young Cole Sear earned the 12-year-old an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The following year he co-starred with two Academy Award-winners (Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt) in the earnest drama Pay It Forward. Then in 2001, Steven Spielberg called on this kid to shoulder his translation of the long-dead A.I. - Artificial Intelligence, conceived by the late Stanley Kubrick. Haley...

Today we have the trailer for the upcoming "Sex Ed" comedy, starring former child star Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense), who can currently be seen in Kevin Smith's "Tusk." Check out the trailer below. Plot: The story follows Eddie (Osment) as he lands his first teaching gig at an inner city middle school, where he quickly finds that his highly pubescent pupils are receiving no form of sexual education. Eddie isn't exactly equipped to teach them - he's a virgin. And he's falling in love with Pilar (Lorenza Izzo), the older sister of one of his students. But Eddie goes off lesson plan and, in doing so, incurs the wrath of the local Reverend (Chris Williams). Ultimately, Eddie learns that fighting for what's right is the best way to go all the way. The new movie will be available in select theaters, on VOD and on iTunes on November 7th.

Witness the continuing reinvention of former child star Haley Joel Osment as he jumps from the horrors of Tusk to the decidedly much different coming-of-age-comedy Sex Ed, which has just released its first trailer.

From director Isaac Feder and Black Listed writer Bill Kennedy, this special sneak preview of Sex Ed also arrives in celebration of October's Planned Parenthood 'Let's Talk' Month, with the movie serving as a good starting point for high schoolers.

A bawdy comedy in the vein of American Pie, Sex Ed also has a heart and a social conscience as it takes a humorous look at our often clueless approach to teaching kids about sex.

Haley Joel Osment’s biggest role to date as the ghost whisperer Cole Sear in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense will likely precede him his entire professional life. His performance was undoubtedly mindblowing for such a young actor. But to shake the shackles of the cute kid persona, he’s making leaps towards establishing a long-term career. Most recently he took a supporting role in Kevin Smith’s horror-comedy, Tusk, and next month he’ll be heading up his own comedy in Sex Ed.

The story revolves around the life of Osment’s teacher, Ed Cole. After he bags his first job at a middle school, it soon dawns on him that the youngsters he’s assigned to teach have no idea about sexual education. Despite suffering a bit of dry spell in the shag department, Cole takes on the responsibility and sets about schooling his tribe on the human body,...

Haley Joel Osment is left holding his banana in the first poster for the new comedy Sex Ed. The former child actor is all grown up and taking a position at an inner city middle school. Complications ensue when this virgin realizes he has to teach a Sex Ed class, which he is not prepared for. Take a look at this hilarious expose on the turmoil of dealing with the messy realities of sex in society today.

The student has become the teacher.

Once best known for his role as the "I see dead people" child in M. Night Shyamalan's 1999 film The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment is returning to the big screen ...awkwardly. In Sex Ed, the 26-year-old plays a guy named Eddie who lands his first teaching gig at an inner-city middle school. He soon finds that his highly pubescent pupils are receiving no form of sexual education, and, though he isn't really equipped to teach them, he's takes on the challenge.

Osment isn't the only familiar face you'll spot in this indie comedy. Matt Walsh (Veep), Retta (Parks and Recreation), Abby Elliott (Saturday Night Live), Lorenza Izzo (The Green Inferno, Hemlock Grove ), Glen Powell (Expendables 3) and Lamorne Morris (The New Girl) also star in Sex Ed, hitting theaters Nov. 7, 2014.

Expect to see more of Osment on the big screen. In addition...

"Sex Ed," the first feature film directed by Isaac Feder will be making its world premiere as one of the opening night features for the 2014 Portland Film Festival.

Haley Joel Osment stars in the film as Eddie, stuck in the post-collegiate doldrums; shitty job, shitty apartment, no girlfriend. He takes a job supervising an after school detention program, where he quickly discovers that the kids are getting no form of sexual education. If he doesn’t teach it, they’re going to learn about sex from the internet. And the internet is a dark place.
