Cast Of The Hangover | Where Are They Now? | Their Life After Movie Success

Believe it or not, the very first actor cast in what would eventually become “The Hangover” wasn’t Bradley Cooper or Heather Graham -- heck it wasn’t even Zach Galifianakis -- no, that honor belongs to Ed Helms, who at the time, was starring in the television series, “The Office”. While “The Hangover’s” director, Todd Philips, might have had an easy time selecting Ed, the rest of the casting process would become much more challenging after big-time stars like Paul Rudd and Jack Black turned it down. The budget was then slashed after Philips decided to go with lesser-known actors in the lead roles. It would wind up being the right call because while the Cast of The Hangover might have been largely unknown at the time of its release in the summer of 2009, before the end of that year the careers of actors like Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong, would take-off and they’d go onto star in some other, critically acclaimed performances. Meanwhile, other cast members like Heather Graham and Justin Bartha would also benefit from being part of the franchise, while actress Sasha Barrese would decide to leave the acting life behind altogether. How about we see what the Cast of “The Hangover” is up to nearly twelve years after the release of the first installment of their now-iconic trilogy?
