Does Larry David regret not being a cast member on "SEINFELD?"
Sure he made money, but my point is - Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George are TV icons! I wonder if Larry, in hindsight, regrets not being one of the main or supporting characters?
(I know Larry David is legendary on his own show, but that's very different from "Seinfeld.") |
I don't think David was ever considered as a main character, either by himself or by the "powers that be". The show made him a household name, despite not being one of the "stars", and he's since gone on to be able to his own thing.
So no, I don't think he has any regrets. Who would you rather be right now: David or Michael Richards? |
But he was Steinbrenner on the show. :D

Exactly. Plus, while he was a creative mind, I doubt he had any chance of realistically being cast as a main character on the show. |
He was also the mysterious man in the cape.
|
not sure but i think that he sold gum to george at a news stand.
|
with Jerry not being able to act, they couldn't afford having LD in there as well.....perhaps

I'd venture to say that Larry David made more out of his career then Jason Alexander. If he played the Costanza role he probably wouldn't have been able to make Curb.

He was also a disgruntled guy on one of Elaine's flights.

That would be an interesting topic in-and-of itself. |
Garner did it in Maverick/Rockford. O'Connor did it in All in the Family/In the Heat of the Night. Those are just two quick ones off of the top of my head.
|
Bob Newhart did it, but he's just played variations of the same character in nearly everything he's done.

Don't forget Ted Danson. Becker wasn't as big as Cheers but it was quite successful. More recently he's been on Damages as well.
|
he most definitely did not regret it.

Frasier wasn't the main character on Cheers. Grammer wasn't even close to being the lead.

From the genre realm, there's Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver and Stargate SG-1), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules and Andromeda), and to some extent Jerry O'Connell (Sliders and Carpoolers, although that one probably won't last long). Peter Krause has done very well for himself with 2 network shows and an HBO series.
Edit: And there's always David Hasselhoff with Knight Rider and Baywatch. |
