dear near
'Broadway Bound' is near and dear to my heart, as it was one of my happiest times on Broadway.
allowed beloved came enjoy episode fact george himself indication met occasion played seemed
I met the real George Steinbrenner on only one occasion when he actually came and played himself on an episode of 'Seinfeld.' He seemed to really enjoy himself. I did not get to know him, but the fact that he allowed himself and his beloved team to be satirized on our show is an indication to me of his true character.
character fill finding fit mandate miracles question shoes tough
The mandate of our show is to find what makes us laugh. We had tough shoes to fill for this role, and finding someone to fit the character of Jeffrey was a challenge, if not a miracle. But when miracles happen, you don't question them.
life
I have no illusions about having another 'Seinfeld' in my life.
passionate supposed
Poker is just a hobby I'm passionate about. It's not supposed to bring glory.
backstage best combined company fellows performing synergy
I went into performing for the community. Being backstage with your company of fellows is the best part of working in live theater. That energy, that combined focus, the synergy - it's addictive.
ally attacked below bullied closet coming equality group hope
I know what it's like to be in the closet! I know what it's like to be bullied and attacked because someone or some group thought I was different or below them... so, I'm coming out of the closet as an ally of equality for everyone; as an ally to hope.
kept tunes
I kept being asked by corporations to do corporate gigs. And I said, 'I don't have anything. I'm not a stand-up. You want me to come sing show tunes for you? I don't think so.'
age sad
I started balding at age 17 and after first being sad, I really embraced it.
excited good looking love none people respect work
There are always things that I'd love to do. As an actor, none of them are specific; all I'm looking for are things that are good quality, that are challenging for me to work on, and even better if I get to work with people that I respect and am excited to work with.
lack stopped stuck time
You know, because of the lack of budget, we had to find neighborhoods where time had stopped - kind of stuck in the '50s. And no place had that better than Staten Island.
guy
What is it about Iowa? I'm the shortest guy in the state.
character embrace used
Thrilled that Gov. Romney enjoys my old character. I enjoyed the character he used 2 b 2. If he'd embrace that again, he'd b a great candidate.
college boston towns
Boston was a great town to go to college in. Maybe that's why there's so many colleges there. I love the town, and I loved Boston University.
