Jerry Seinfeld
Himself
Jerry Seinfeld was born on April 29, 1954 in Brooklyn, NY. He developed an interest in standup comedy after a few stints in college productions. He bounced around clubs doing standup until his television debut came in 1976, on a Rodney Dangerfield HBO Special. However, it was after his his appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1981 when Johnny waved him over to sit at the interview chair after performing his material that he knew he had made his mark as a standup comedian. He appeared four times as a guest star on "Benson" as Frankie, but was fired. He vowed never to do a sitcom again unless he had greater control. This chance arose in 1989 when NBC invited him to work on a sitcom which eventually became "The Seinfeld Chronicles," then "Seinfeld." This show carried on for nine years and ended because Jerry wanted the show to end while still at its peak. On Christmas Day, 1999; Jerry married Jessica Sklar and they have three kids.moreless -

Bryan Cranston
Tim Whatley
Bryan Cranston has had a very interesting career. He has worked from popular sitcoms and movies to Japanese anim series like Armitage III. He made his debut on television when he was just 8 years old, appearing in a commercial. However, he didn't want to be an actor until high school. After graduation, he studied acting and moved to Daytona Beach, Florida where he participated in major theatrical productions like Barefoot in the Park and Death of a Salesman. His television series debut came in 1982 when he joined the cast of the soap opera Loving. He worked in the program for a while, but then he had other roles on Airwolf and Hill Street Blues, where he was more successful. Bryan began transforming into a more prominent actor as he made appearances in the sitcom Raising Miranda in 1988. In the following years, Bryan worked in various television and film projects, including the movie Clean State and the TV series The Louie Show and voice-acting in the Japanese anim Armitage III, in which he was credited as Lee Stone for unknown reasons. Cranston rose to popularity with his roles in notable films such as That Thing You Do! and Saving Private Ryan. Fox then gave him a starring role in the sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle. The show was a huge success and made Bryan one of the most known actors on television. His performance on the series also earned him back-to-back Emmy award nominations in 2002 and 2003.

Barney Martin
Morty Seinfeld
It took the television series Seinfeld and his portrayal of Morty Seinfeld to turn Barney Martin into a pop-culture star, complete with talk-show engagements and personal appearances -- but Martin was a working actor for 40 years before that, in films and television, on Broadway, and in regional theater. Born in New York City in the early '20s, he was the son of the police official in charge of the jail facility known as the Tombs. He served in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II, with 42 missions to his credit as a navigator; he joined the police force after the war and won commendations for bravery. Martin had always shown a flair for comedy, and while a member of the police force, he was often asked to add jokes to the speeches of various deputy commissioners. In the early '50s, he began moving into professional entertainment circles, selling his jokes and also writing for Name That Tune, and then was hired as a writer on The Steve Allen Show -- it was while working on that end of the business, and with some encouragement from a new friend, Mel Brooks, that Martin became convinced that he could be as funny as most of the professional comics he was seeing in front of the cameras and on-stage. By the end of the 1950s, he was working as a stand-in for Jackie Gleason. With his hefty frame tipping the scales at well over 200 pounds even in those days, and his slightly befuddled look, he was nearly a dead-ringer for Gleason in one profile, and he ended up working on camera in various sketches. Martin's other early television performances included regular work as a "ringer" on Candid Camera, and work on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Perry Como Show, as well as straight acting performances on such dramatic shows as The Naked City, where his New York accent and mannerisms made Martin a natural. He also turned in an excruciatingly funny performance as Fats Borderman, a hapless professional hood, in the Car 54, Where Are You? episode "Toody Undercover." Martin made his first big-screen appearance in the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock thriller The Wrong Man, as a member of the jury -- he also showed up in uncredited appearances in such movies as Butterfield 8, Requiem for a Heavyweight, and Love With the Proper Stranger. In 1968, he got his first two credited screen appearances, in Mel Brooks' The Producers, portraying Goring in "Springtime for Hitler," and playing Hank in Ralph Nelson's Charly. Most of Martin's acting, however, was on-stage, including Broadway productions of South Pacific, All American, Street Scene, How Now, Dow Jones, and Chicago; in the latter's '70s production, he originated the role of Amos Hart. He also appeared in regional theater productions of Last of the Red Hot Lovers and The Fantasticks. Martin also made occasional appearances on television, most notably on The Odd Couple, starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman, in such episodes as "The Jury Story" and "The Subway Story." His friendship with Randall also carried over to his being cast as a regular when the latter got his own series, The Tony Randall Show, in 1976. Martin might have gone on for the rest of his career as a character actor well known to those in his profession, doing occasional big-screen performances in features such as Stanley Donen's Movie, Movie and Steve Gordon's Arthur, but for the Seinfeld television series. After inheriting the role of Morty Seinfeld from another actor, Martin became a regular on the series, usually working in tandem with Liz Sheridan playing Morty's wife, also playing opposite Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Michael Richards, and Jerry Stiller, and always holding his own in eliciting laughs. Perhaps Martin's best single episode was the one in which his character is defeated in the election as chairman of the condominium board -- the script was filled with little digs aimed at Oliver Stone's movie Nixon, and Martin was able to bring just enough Nixon-like gravitas to his portrayal to make the whole show work.moreless -

Larry David
Voice of George Steinbrenner (uncredited)
Said Seinfeld writer Peter Mehlman of David: "Larry is very in tune with his own deepest, darkest, most embarrassing thoughts -- and he's utterly unabashed about sharing them." Indeed, since starting out on the NY comedy-club scene, the Brooklyn native's dry, off-kilter sensibility has been found in his writing as well as his (more infrequent) acting. In 1999 David wrote and starred in Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm, a one-hour special for HBO which spawned the critically acclaimed HBO series the following year. The second season was nominated for an Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy.
David was a writer and performer on ABC's late night comedy series Fridays from 1980-82. (Seinfeld regular Michael Richards was also a regular on the series.) He wrote for Saturday Night Live during the 1982-83 season, and claims that only one of his sketches ever made it onto the broadcasted shows. (A slyly aborted walk-out by him was later the inspiration for the Seinfeld episode in which George quit his job and then returned as if nothing happened!) In 1983, he acted in two films: Henry Jaglom's Can She Bake a Cherry Pie? and Second Thoughts. He played a "communist neighbor" in Woody Allen's Radio Days (1987) and also acted (playing a theater manager) in the Allen-directed segment of the 1989 New York Stories anthology.
The next year Larry David co-created (with Jerry Seinfeld) one of the most lauded comedy series in TV history, Seinfeld. David wrote for that series from 1990-96 and returned to write the series finale in 1998. (David also did a few uncredited appearances during show's run, including loaning his voice for certain off-screen characters.) David was Emmy-nominated seven times for his writing on Seinfeld, and won in 1993 (Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing in a Comedy Series) for the now c episode The Contest. He also shared an Emmy in 1993 for Outstanding Comedy Series. (He has shared a nomination for this award six times.) In 1994 David shared a PGA Golden Laurel Award with Jerry Seinfeld for Most Promising Producer in Television.
Afer leaving Seinfeld in 1996, David wrote and directed the 1998 feature Sour Grapes, starring Steven Weber and Craig Bierko.
In 1999 Larry David received an AFI Star Award" at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.moreless -

Patrick Warburton
David Puddy
Patrick Warburton lept into pop culture consciousness as David Puddy, Elaine's on-again, off-again boyfriend on the hit sitcom Seinfeld in 1995, and has since then steadily found his deadpan talents in ever-greater demand. With his squinty eyes and hard-boiled detective's voice, Warburton has become a humorous personality who can generate giggles with almost no effort, whether onscreen or in voice-overs.
Warburton was born on November 14, 1964, in Paterson, NJ, and raised in Southern California, a son of little-known television actress Barbara Lord. The future Bugle Boy model studied marine biology at Orange Coast College, where he met his wife, Cathi, before dropping out to pursue modeling and acting at age 19. In his first screen appearance, the 17th century slave film Dragonard (1987), Warburton was subject to what is thought to be the longest onscreen flogging on film, a 100-lash scene that consumes nearly four minutes of screen time. He also appeared in the sequel, Master of Dragonard Hill (1989), before turning his attention to television.
Warburton had guest spots on such shows as Murphy Brown, Designing Women, Gone with the Whim, and Quantum Leap before scoring a recurring role on the short-lived Dave Barry sitcom Dave's World in 1993. But it was not until he appeared in the 1995 episode of Seinfeld entitled "The Fusilli Jerry" that Warburton really started to attract attention. As Puddy, Jerry's lunkhead mechanic who spits out dialogue in macho spurts, notably the catchphrase affirmation "Yeah that's right," Warburton quickly became a popular semi-regular, involved in a running joke about his frequent breakups and reconciliations with Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). He stayed with the show until it finished in 1998, and provided the voice for Superman in a series of commercials starring Seinfeld.
Warburton had another recurring role as unscrupulous businessman Johnny Johnson on News Radio in 1999, then contributed his memorable voice to characters on the animated shows Family Guy, Hercules, and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. By this time the big screen was really beckoning, as Warburton flexed his comic talents as a bodyguard in Scream 3 (2000), then toned them down as an American astronomer in Australia in The Dish (2000). His voice was again called upon, this time by Disney, for the role of a sorceress' thug assistant in The Emperor's New Groove (2000).
Going zanier than on Seinfeld, Warburton signed on as the star of the Fox sitcom The Tick, about a muscle-bound but dimwitted superhero in a blue costume, which premiered in the fall of 2001. High-profile projects in 2002 would include a role in the delayed ensemble farce Big Trouble and as Agent T alongside Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in Men in Black 2. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guidemoreless -
