However, even before Helberg appeared onscreen, Hollywood was a part of his life.

Sandy Helberg was born in Germany and grew up in Ohio (viaPeoplePill).

Perhaps most recognizably, she cast the iconic horror movieCarrie.

Simon Helberg

Sandy and Harriet also wrote several television episodes together (aww), including an episode ofThe Golden Girls.

Growing up in this family, Simon was pretty well-situated for success.

He attended Crossroads, a Los Angeles K-12 school famous for its celebrity alums.

Sandy and Harriet B. Helberg

Simon Helberg has two children of his own 8-year-old Adeline and 6-year-old Wilder.

Maybe they’ll continue the Helberg line and grow up to be successful comedic actors, too.
