subject: The Cast of the Hangover Gets Unleashed on Satellite TV [print this page] Author: Oswald Melman Author: Oswald Melman
If youre one of the many people who saw The Hangover and wondered how such a funny cast was mostly unknown, you can stop wondering. The hit comedy by director Todd Phillips (of Old School fame) has opened a lot of doors for its rambunctious cast. Whether its going into the background a little bit (as with Bradley Cooper in Wedding Crashers) or sticking with contemporary programs (like Zach Galifianakis in Bored to Death), youll find that you can get your Hangover cure whenever you need to on satellite TV. Here is how to do it.
Ed Helms: Stu might be a little out of control in The Hangover, pulling out his own tooth and marrying a stripper in the course of his friends bachelor party, but we can rest assured that it was a one-night thing. The Stu we see in the beginning of the film is closer to the characters heart. In fact, it is close to the other character Ed Helms is famous for playing Andy Bernard on The Office. If youre one of the many people who likes to check out what Jon Stewart is up to on The Daily Show, you have also probably seen Helms as one of the correspondents. Needless to say, Ed is well-represented on satellite TV.
Bradley Cooper: The character of Phil was made for Cooper, who didnt come off as the nicest fellow in his breakout role in Wedding Crashers. While Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson were frolicking about, Cooper was busy cheating on his fiance and having a P.I. track their origins. Sack was not a nice guy, but the character of Phil does have a heart, as seen in the interaction with his wife and son after getting back from Vegas. Fans of Coopers dont have to look too far on satellite TV to find more of the star. Between Hes Just Not That Into You (currently a big HD hit) and New York, I Love You, theres plenty of Bradley Cooper to go around. In fact, you might want to check out some of his older stuff on the cast of Sex and the City, always running on TBS.
Zach Galifianakis: The true wild card of The Hangover is Galifianakis, the one who takes the movie from being a typical Frat Pack film and sends it into a different stratosphere. Whether you are disturbed by Zachs choice in underwear early on or worried about how he might take care of the found baby (whom he bizarrely names Carlos), his cackling character is much of the reason for the films success. Conveniently enough, he can be found on HBO, in one of the hot new HD series, Bored to Death. Co-starring Ted Danson, with Jason Schwartzman in the lead role, Bored is re-introducing everyone to Galifianakis strange style.
As for seeing the gang together once again, you might not have to wait long a Hangover II is reportedly in the works.About the Author:
