According to Variety 'The Office' star will play a hapless insurance agent who goes to an industry convention to try to save the jobs of his colleagues.

As well as starring in 'Cedar Rapids', Helms will co-write and co-produce the film, which will be directed by Miguel Arteta, who Helms previously worked with on 'The Office'.

Filming will begin in October, when Helms is on a break from shooting the American version of the Ricky Gervais-created sitcom.
