He owes his international fame to The Big Bang Theory after becoming best known for playing science enthusiast, Howard Wolowitz.
Yet six years on from the finale of the cult TV show, Simon Helberg looks unrecognisable from his geeky character.
Known for his bowl cut hair style and clean shaven face, the actor, now 44, couldn't have looked more different as he attended the AMC Networks Upfront in New York on Wednesday.
Completely changing his look Simon's dark locks have grown out in curly waves over his head and he also sports a slightly greying full beard.
He also opted for a quirky outfit as he paired a pale blue denim blazer with a mustard shirt and brown striped tie.
Simon completed the ensemble with brown tweed trousers and suede camel loafers with blue laces.
He was joined by fellow actors Billy Magnussen, Nicholas Denton and Amandaland's Lucy Punch.
Simon starred in The Big Bang Theory from the beginning of the sitcom back in 2007 alongside Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco.
The star went on to win the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for the role in 2013.
Simon previously revealed he nearly bypassed the opportunity to be part of the CBS smash hit.
Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert back in 2016 he explained he'd been reticent to take the part of Howard Wolowitz because he was tired of being typecast.
