LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Ed Helms is becoming a permanent fixture around "The Office."

The actor, who has had a recurring role on the NBC comedy series, has been upped to a regular.

Helms joined the cast at the beginning of this season as Andy Bernard, an employee of paper supply company Dunder-Mifflin's now-defunct Stamford, Conn., office. Bernard and Karen Filippelli (Rashida Jones) have since been transferred to the Scranton, Pa., branch, where the series is set. Jones continues as a recurring character on the show.

Helms was a senior correspondent for five years on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," where he worked alongside "Office" star Steve Carell. Helms will appear alongside Carell in the feature film "Evan Almighty."

In addition, Helms has a role in the upcoming sequel to "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle."

Hmm, i thought i remember reading somewhere that he had a deal for a sitcom of his own in the near future.

I'm glad he's sticking around "The Office" though. He's great.
