      He’d already won a Tony by the end of the first season of Seinfeld. He was in great demand as a stage actor throughout the 80s and early was in the original Broadway cast of Merrily we Roll Along.

    He had jobs other than Seinfeld? Who knew.. I'm guessing people who sat at home watching commercials in the 80's knew.. I was always outside, playing with my golden chips and sending money by western union to my friends to get cheap tickets on Delta to come see me so we can enjoy Friday nights eating McDonald's.
