Method Acting To The Madness: What You Need To Know Before ...

You know who can?t act: Jerry Seinfeld.

He never could, but he seemed to make a lucrative living as a comic turned sit-com character in Seinfeld for 9 seasons.

Putting aside the undeniable fact that he, alongside Larry David, was the creative master behind the long-running TV show, he wasn?t an actor. A voice-over actor, perhaps. But never a major, legitimate stage or screen presence.

But he did find success on television screen. And make it good. Seinfeld still stands as one of the most hilarious TV series to ever come out of Tinsel Town.

Try and imagine if he could act. Imagine he was as good as his slapstick goofball neighbour Kramer (Michael Richards), his selfish ex-girlfriend Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), or his highly-strung and cowardly best friend George Costanza (Jason Alexander).

Or his rotund postman arch-enemy, Newman (Wayne Knight).

Actually , come to think of it, it?s doubtless better that he never attended acting college since the premise of the show crucially hinged on Jerry Seinfeld the comedian writing the material and his mates and enemies bringing them to life around him.

So I guess here lies some method to the acting madness.

But unlike Shakespeare?s Hamlet, Seinfeld failed to precisely meet an untimely end.

In spite of falling one year shy of 10 years on American and international television screens, Jerry Seinfeld?s career and livelihood only gained momentum after the show that bore his name ended with the 4 self-centred New Yorkers standing trial and being subsequently found guilty as innocent bystanders.

And ending up in jail.

Ironically, from there, the careers of the already mentioned real actors never really took off after the series box sets hit the retail shelves in time for Xmas and Chanukah.

The New Adventures of Old Christine never truly hit the comedic mark.

And that racial outburst in an LA comedy club was not the kind of punch line we would have liked to remember the delightful Kramer by.

Maybe the sole saving grace was Wayne Knight?s role in Basic Instinct?s infamous interrogation scene ? though you probably didn't even realize he was there.

But then there was Jerry. He caused some buzz with Bee Movie, produced a Reality Television show based primarily on wedding and relationship information, and eventually returned to the improv comedy stage to great regard ? and with new material!

I suspect the key to his success is a thespian method known as Method Acting, in which the actor fundamentally never beaks from the role. Which was a no-brainer for Seinfeld, because he was forever playing himself ? a funny man perpetually in the power of his audience and with a permanent Get Out Of Fail Card ? and never a true actor playing a ?role?.

So all he really had to do was arrive for makeup, tell some gags and be himself for 22 minutes an episode and before he knew it, he had worldwide celebrity, numerous industry awards and residual payments that the Queen of England would be envious of.

And all this because he could not even act.
