He was clearly the worst actor on his own show. The others (Michael Richard's current issues notwithstanding) were the real professionals.

And Costanza was a serious Broadway level actor...

Elaine has some new show I've never seen ,

Seinfeld is funny but he's sort of one-note.

Maybe that's because the others were professional actors before the show started. Jerry was nothing but a comedian. But I liked Jerry on the show, I thought he did fine job.

Anyway, he was always worried about his acting. They even poked fun of his acting on the episode when they were filming the pilot that Jerry and George created. One of the executives didn't like the show, and when asked why, she said, "It's Seinfeld! He can't act!" And later Jerry asks George, "How am I doing?" And George kind of off handedly, and looking away, said, "You're alright."

Who ever said Seinfeld's strength was the acting? He certainly didn't.

He wrote, more or less, and created, more or less, and acted in, more or less, one of the greatest, more or less, sitcoms ever made. Do the math, when you add it all together he is still funnier than most and more accomplished than all but a few.

Yeah, he may be a bit of a dousche. Then again, arent' you? Aren't we all?

I thought he was a great comediene who turned out a great TV show. Based on the plot description, the movie seems a bit contrived. All these animated movies .. such thing as too much fun.

Larry David is awesome. It's funny watching all these other shows try to copy his style. Pitiful. Saw "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia" for the first time the other night. Won't watch it again. Plus I find Danny DeVito kind of annoying now.
