Larry David

Lawrence Gene "Larry" David was born on July 2, 1947 in in Brooklyn, New York. Larry David is an American actor, writer, comedian, producer, and film director. Formerly a standup comedian, David went into television comedy, writing and starring in ABC's Fridays, as well as writing briefly for Saturday Night Live for one season in 1975. In that entire season, David got only one sketch that he had written on the air, and it was the last sketch of the night. However, David eventually hit comedy and financial gold as the co-creator and producer of two phenomenally successful television comedies, Seinfeld (1989-1998) and Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-2009). In 1989, he teamed up with Jerry Seinfeld to co-create the television series Seinfeld, where he also acted as head writer and executive producer. David was the inspiration for the character of George Constanza. In 1999, he created the HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, a mostly improvised sitcom in which he stars as a fictionalized version of himself. His writing uses humor derived from awkward social situations and often uses articles of clothing as major plot devices.
