The American actor and comedian Ed Helms revealed that he was missing a tooth while filming The Office, and his absence of a tooth made his character sound like a drunk man. He shared with Hot Ones that he got his tooth removed while shooting for The Hangover movie in 2009.
Ed talked about how the makeup was unconvincing on camera that tried to visually remove his baby tooth, so he suggested to the crew that he could actually remove his tooth. The production team actually tried to use visual effects and blacked out one of his teeth which looked good in person but horrible in camera. He further revealed that he had had a permanent implant since he was a teenager, so his dentist had no problem taking it out for him.
The actor had to play Andy Bernard on The Office during the same time of production, so he used a temporary retainer to replace his absent tooth. He shared that his tongue couldn't form a word during the show as it made him uncomfortable with the temporary retainer, making him sound like a drunk person. He said, "My tongue couldn't shape the word, but we got over it."
However, the actor contributing his tooth for his role sure made him admirable and successful as his role in The Hangover definitely helped him to get where he stands today.
