bigway 4 #4 November 6, 2006 never watched that. That was a childrens show.. no? Whenever i think of a dodgy criminal in a big city i picture the 'Look' uncle Leo has. when i first got to London i was very careful not to bump in to that sort of looking man. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Michele 1 #8 November 6, 2006 I'm pretty sure he's still alive and kicking. I hear he's touring Europe at the end of the month; not quite sure what that's about, though. Maybe he's meeting up the the Hoff or something down in Italy. And he *is* old - like, what - 84 next month? Just a geezer now. I never watched Seinfeld...bored me to tears.

Michele 1 #11 November 6, 2006 QuoteGuess you are the dz.commer who is close to him then. Just the president of his fan club. I hear, though, that his daughter is pretty unattractive and in her 50's. At least. I wonder how old his son is? As for roles lined up, I hear he's playing in Romeo and Juliet in a big theatre near where he lives; as well as various commercials and television things coming in the next year. Someone was saying something about another series, but I guess that's something they'll decide in March or so. As for Hoff, he may live in Vegas, but he can travel...and like I said, there's some rumor of Europe; at least, I know that Mr. Lesser is heading off over the pond, and that tour might include Hoff. Maybe not Hoff; maybe Chuck Norris. Not sure which. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #15 November 6, 2006 Yes, April, Pop is quirky. When Seinfeld wrapped and he was glum about never getting another role like Uncle Leo again, and mentioned how hard he worked to get that character refined, I told him that "Pops, it's just you, only bigger...you really are Uncle Leo. What work did it take?" He nearly decked me. ROFL. Bigway, he is a very funny man. He and I regularly crack each other up, and we adore hanging out with each other. He and I will call each other and ask for people who don't live there, with accents, and see if we can recognize each other. We've been doing that for years. He says I cheat now because he comes up on the display as "Dad." He'll hang up if I tell him I forgot why I called, or if I call to see how he's doing, he says "fine. That all? 'Kay, bye..." and hang up. He calls back in about 6 seconds to see if I've remembered what I needed, and if I still can't, he starts asking "was it this? That? This? That?" and if I still can't remember, he'll tell me he's the old, forgetful one and I need to not copy him. His wit is blunt and subtle by turns; his sense of sarcasm and irony is well refined. He teases and kids, can't handle tears, and always makes sure to tell me he loves me. My father is kind, funny, serious, intelligent, incredibly smart, wise, brilliant, and amazing in his tenacity. He fell and broke his hip last year. He refused surgery, was on a walker for about 10 minutes, and 8 weeks later was walking in the hills for his thrice weekly "constitutional." He's stubborn, quirky, and has a flash temper. He is generous to a fault; he'd rather give the shirt off his back than let someone go without a shirt. He's forgetful, and difficult at times, but he is overall one of the best people I know, inside and out. He's an amazing person, has stood by me thick and thin, loved me without question even when I was unlovable, and thinks I can conquer the world if I only put my mind to it. I am his greatest fan, and he is mine. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #17 November 6, 2006 wow, thanks for all that Michele. Sucks about the Hip. Sounds like a good laugh. I sure hope you are not serious though about him off to hang out with the Hoff. I imagine he enjoyed his part in seinfeld a great deal. Best of luck to him. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenz 0 #19 November 6, 2006 this is TOTALLY unrelated, but i have an uncle leo that acts... this is the most horrendous picture of him but here it is... ok you can go back to seinfeld ;) http://imdb.com/name/nm0744235/"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #20 November 6, 2006 QuoteI sure hope you are not serious though about him off to hang out with the Hoff. Remember the part where I said his humor is blunt and subtle by turns? Yeah, well, I'm his daughter. I wasn't serious. The Hoff would be blessed and damned lucky to hang with my Dad. Dad doesn't know - or care - who Hoff is... As to stitch thinking I have no sense of humor, I'll just accept that my humor is too subtle for some people, and let it go at that. He loved doing Seinfeld. He loves what he does, and he's a damned fine actor. He loved the familial feel on Seinfeld's set, and he does look back at it fondly. He'd come home from the set saying "these people are brilliant. I screwed this/that up, they're going to kill Uncle Leo, I can't do three camera work." So I'd go over and make him some comfort food, and he'd relax. Then they'd call him again for the next show, and he'd call me and say "they're not brilliant. They just booked me for another show." This was a regular occurance for 9 years... Even when his fan base expanded, he didn't believe he was going to continue onto the next season. Even when it got so that he couldn't even go to the Wailing Wall in Israel without being recognized, he thought that when he screwed a line up, he'd not get rehired. He was ever so sure that he hadn't gotten the character nailed. He was always refining Leo, and it was a joy to watch him work. He can't walk down a street in NYC without stopping a million times to talk to fans...it's a ball to watch. I'll walk behind him just to watch people's reactions. Makes me laugh all the time. I am indeed blessed to have him as a father. No doubt or question. Blessed beyond measure.
