Simon Helberg on Annette and The Big Bang Theory Finale

This past week, I had the pleasure of talking with actor Simon Helberg for his new movie Annette. In the film, Helberg plays a conductor who carries a torch for his former lover Ann (Marion Cotillard), who is now married to the abrasive comedian Henry McHenry (Adam Driver). When tragedy strikes, the conductor is faced with the choice of helping Henry or trying to protect Ann and Henry’s child Annette, who is depicted as a puppet that can sing when light shines on her. During our conversation, Helberg and I talked about if he was hesitant to play an accompanist again after playing that role in Florence Foster Jenkins, what it was like working with the Annette puppet, what it’s like being directed by Leos Carax, how they handled the unique fight scene with Adam Driver that requires both actors to sing while fighting, and more. We also talked about his thoughts on the conclusion of The Big Bang Theory since the show wrapped a couple years ago. Check out the full interview above and below is a list
