Comedy Kings (and Queens) of the South
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Georgia's funny bone is legendary, and it translates perfectly to the comedic world. Ed Helms, the ever-optimistic Andy Dwyer from "Parks and Recreation," was born in Marietta. Maybe that's where he picked up his signature enthusiasm – gotta love a guy who gets that excited about waffles.
We can't forget the hilarious David Cross, the voice of Tobias F�nke from "Arrested Development." This Atlanta native brings the laughs in a deadpan way that's drier than Georgia heat in July.
From Small Towns to Silver Screens
Hollywood isn't the only place where Georgia shines. Actors like Desmond Harrington (who grew up in Savannah) and Iain Armitage (a youngster from somewhere in Georgia – hush, it's top secret!) prove that talent can bloom anywhere in the Peach State.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Hey, Don't Forget the Dramas!
While Georgia may be known for its comedic flair, it can also deliver some serious acting muscle. Robert Patrick, the T-1000 from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," hails from Marietta. Maybe the Georgia sun helped him perfect that cold, emotionless stare?
