I was heavy as a kid. I mean, I kind of got it together for a while there in my 20s and early 30s.
against ashes bob created crew insane measure purposely stolen
We purposely created Bob out of the ashes of George. I would be insane not to measure things against 'Seinfeld.' I've stolen as much of the 'Seinfeld' crew as I could to give me a hedge.
Theater is very much the world I'd like to get back to, particularly in New York, both as an actor and director.

changed changing found history lack looking meaningful outside point quite solutions viable
I found that looking at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from an outside vantage point was actually quite distancing. The history of the conflict, the personalities, the violence, the distrust, and the seeming lack of viable solutions made meaningful involvement feel impossible.

exactly people poker pro
One of the downsides of being a poker pro is that people see exactly how you play.

Many people don't know our famous 'soup kitchen' episode on Seinfeld was inspired by an actual soup restaurant off 8th Avenue in New York.
comics performing
Most stand-up comics relish performing 'in one' - solo. They like the autonomy.
I have always wanted to play Sweeney in 'Sweeney Todd.'
couple george looked producer roles
I have actually lost a couple of roles - film roles - because a director or producer thought I looked too much like George Costanza, and I could not get out of that box.
