12)as a jew, doesn't it bother you that you are mostly known as the "nazi"? התשובות:
1) Doing guest roles on series TV is as wonderful as any acting work. You are well paid and acting is the only craft I've ever fallen in love with. The only problem is I only get one or two a year so I can't make a living at it. Also people who work on a series are always pleasant because they're employed. It doesn't bother me to do ethnic characters. Of course I originally wanted to be Clark Gable or Cary Grant but in my early days of college theatre I found out I was a character actor and had a talent for picking up dialects so I went with it. It's what I've mostly done. Plus when you have a look like mine casting people hardly ever bring me in as an American character.
2) I met the casting director through a wonderful actor I was studying with, Jeffrey Tambor, and we had what they call a "general interview". About a month later the role came up and he brought me in for it. I read for his assistant and he called me back to read for Jerry, Larry and the producers. They liked what I did and unbeknownst to me (I didn't know about the real guy) I looked like the guy the character was based on. Jerry laughed a lot and then had me do it again with some direction. On the set he told me to forget his direction and do it the way I first did it (very rare for a producer to be that secure to admit an actor knew more about acting than he does). That last thing tells you a little about Jerry. He's a great guy, very down to earth. We didn't get to know each other well because he was unbelievably busy. We don't keep in touch but I think if I really needed his help for something I could contact him. (When they were still doing his show I wrote him a note asking him if he wanted to produce another show that was looking for an executive producer. He called me back immediately to tell me he was flattered but too busy with his show. This was right after Larry David left and he became twice as busy).
3). I hadn't heard he was doing another show. In the fall I heard that all he wanted to do is stand up comedy at live clubs and he was turning down all offers for TV and film.
4). That's not really my choice. If the show had chosen to bring me back I would have been glad to play the character some more. For twenty years I've dreamed of making a living as an actor but I've never been able to. They chose not to bring him back so my only option was to try and move on and play other characters with the goal that one of them would catch on in a series and give me steady work so I wouldn't have to have a "day job". Unfortunately I haven't booked any work in nine months and it was a year before that last one. It doesn't look good for my acting career right now but at my age it's the only thing I've ever learned to do so I'll just keep trying. 5). He's a great guy and one of the funniest stand ups I've ever seen. The show was great. I was a big fan long before I did my episode. I had known from my improv training the power of concentrating on the little every day (even every minute) things about our lives as far as comedy goes. I hope I'll meet him again sometime whether working or socializing.
6). I was majoring in journalism in jr. college in 1977 and I met a girl that I liked. We never hooked up over the summer and she told me she was taking theatre classes in the fall. I signed up for them hoping to get to know her better. I ended up falling in love with acting and that was that. Work as an actor has never come to me easily so I've been chasing it down ever since. Getting the job on Seinfeld was so out of character for my luck it still astounds me. Every once in a while I get cast in something but it usually comes after about twenty rejections. I don't know if you can consider it a career since I don't make a living at it but it is my p
