"Actors want to dissolve into this character and become unrecognizable. Comedians are just the opposite. We're trying to get rid of everything that is not exactly us." This is Jerry Seinfeld in an interview given to Andrew Denton, trying to explain his craft and his body of work, which is completely based on his personal experiences. It is also, as he likes to state it, "not work." I consider Jerry to be a highly inspirational personality in entertainment because he was able to build a solid career based on authenticity. In a time when pretty much all you see in mainstream pop culture sounds and smells fake, Jerry rises as a person that is a character that is a person that is a character that is a person that is… Jerry. Period. A guy with no intention to be something he is not. And he is not perfect.
