No Soup for You!
2007-11-06 18:58:00 I’m sure you guys have noticed that I am a huge Seinfeld fan from all the various references and one liners I drop from the show all the time. I do not think there is a more funnier character in any sitcom than the Soup Nazi. Dan Lebatard and Stugotz recently had Larry ...

Larry Thomas, "Seinfeld" "Postal" actor/Soup Nazi: Mr. Media Interview, Pt.
2007-07-29 02:42:00 Not many people have managed to land the words Nazi and funny in the same sentence.Charlie Chaplin did it in The Great Dictator. Mel Brooks did it in The Producers with the song and dance number Springtime for Hitler.And my guest today, the Emmy-nominated Larry Thomas, did it, too. He?s been an actor for 25 years and is a veteran of dozens of films, TV shows, and hundreds of theater performances. Larry recently finished shooting the film Postal and was seen on ?Arrested Development,? ?Hot Properties,? ?Threshold,? ?Scrubs,? and a Lexus commercial as a crazed pre-Bugsy visionary selling the idea of Vegas. Last year, Larry completed a 3- city, 140-show production of Neil Simon?s ?The Odd Couple,? the female version, starring Barbara Eden.Who the hell is Larry Thomas? No answers for you, not yet anyway.

Larry Thomas, "Seinfeld" "Postal" actor/Soup Nazi: Mr. Media Interview, Pt.
2007-07-28 23:46:00 (Return to Part 1)(Return to Part 2)ANDELMAN: Larry, actors on long-running TV series often fear, and rightly so, being forever labeled by a character. You achieved video immortality in just one episode. And I might add that most people think you?re actually on more than one episode, the finale aside. Is it a pro or a con that you did this?THOMAS: I?d have to say it?s a pro for me, but the con part of it is not what you?d think. The pro part of it is that, number one, at that point in my career, after 15 or 18 years of trying to get acting work and not being able to interest anybody in the world of big-time, what we call big-time film, TV, after that, everyone wanted to see me. Mike Myers wanted me to do a cameo in the first Austin Powers movie. It was a little bit limiting what they wanted me to audition for, mostly guys with dialects and kind of crazy, funny guys.But to be honest, I was suddenly auditioning for major television and built up quite a resume of guest spots on major T...

Larry Thomas, "Seinfeld" "Postal" actor/Soup Nazi: Mr. Media Interview, Pt.
2007-07-27 05:30:00 (Return to Part 1)ANDELMAN: Now, as funny as Seinfeld and David and the producers thought it was, there was someone there who didn?t think this was one of their better episodes, right?THOMAS: Right. Oh, my God! Who later came back to haunt me again, actually. Michael Richards hated this script so much that he spent the entire working week, it?s usually four days of rehearsal or actually kind of five days of rehearsal, and on the fifth day, you shoot it that night before the audience, but they cut off a day this week because it was in October during the Jewish holidays. And so we only did four days and shot it on the fourth night, but all four days, he was just bending anyone?s ear that would hear him on how terrible a script this was.I don?t know who I felt more sorry for, me or Spike. Not only was I on ?Seinfeld? for the first time, but it was my first really major television guest spot after 15, 18 years of trying to get one. And so I had to listen to it. Spike, of course, went wi...

The Soup Nazi's Cream of Sweet Potato Soup
2007-06-09 16:31:00 New Yorkers have lined up around the block for years now to get a hot cup of Al Yeganeh's delicious soup at Soup Kitchen International. Many are familiar with the demands: "Pick the soup you want!", "Have your money ready!", and "Move to the extreme left after ordering!" Customers know if they don't stick to the rules, they'll be quickly scolded and may not get served; even after waiting for as long as two hours to get to the front of the line. This is preciselyhow the non-smiling Yeganeh was portrayed by actor Larry Thomas in Seinfeld episode number 115, when he forever became known as the "Soup Nazi." (That's the real guy in the picture, as cheerful as ever.)4 sweet potatoes (about 1 pound each)8 cups water1/3 cup butter1/2 cup tomato sauce2 tablespoons half and half2 teaspoons salt1/8 teaspoon pepperdash thyme1 cup cashews (split in half)1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 minutes or until they are soft. Cool the potatoes until they can be handled.2...
