Bakaitis was born in Lauban, Lower Silesia, Germany (now Lubań, Poland), to Lithuanian parents.

He is best known for his role in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions as the character, the Architect. Helmut held the position of Head of Directing at Australia's National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) for nine years until 2007.^[1]
