| Jerome "Jerry" Seinfeld (born April 29, 1954 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor, writer and observational comedian from Massapequa, New York, a Long Island hamlet. He is best-known for playing a fictional version of himself in the long-running sitcom Seinfeld, which he co-created and executive produced. Seinfeld attended the Birch Lane Elementary School and Massapequa High School. Straight from graduation at Queens College, Seinfeld tried out at an open mic night at New York's Catch A Rising Star in 1976. Soon after, he was appearing in a Rodney Dangerfield HBO special. Seinfeld had a small recurring role as "Frankie" on the Benson sitcom in 1979, but was abruptly fired from the show. A few years later, in May of 1981, Seinfeld made a highly successful appearance on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Seinfeld then became a regular on similar shows, including Late Night with David Letterman and The Merv Griffin Show. Seinfeld created The Seinfeld Chronicles with Larry David in 1989 for NBC. The show was later renamed Seinfeld and, by its fourth season, became one of the most popular and successful sitcoms on American television. The show left the air in 1998. As of 2006, the show is still receiving heavy airplay in syndication. The show also starred Saturday Night Live veteran Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as well as Michael Richards and Jason Alexander. On the show, Seinfeld played a caricature of himself. source: netglimse |
