About - Larry Hankin (2024)

Larry I appreciate your hard work and dedication to the craft. Wow I just noticed that back when I was a kid I saw you in Escape From Alcatraz. Great start!

Seinfeld and Friends are definitely standout performances. You’ve done so many which shows what a great character actor you are.

Much love and prosperity to you!

Hi Larry!

You are an incredible human. I’m sure you get this all the time, but my husband and I truly LOVE your work. You are such a brilliant and skillful actor, every time we see you in something – even if it is just one line – we get incredibly excited and audibly cheer – Larrrrry! – Forget Larry David! Your body of work is out of control! I recently rewatched your version of Kramer – you just killed it! You’re somehow able to get so much depth across, even in the shortest of scenes. A true artist! Speaking of which – your graphic/fine art is wonderful too! “Sad Lady” is quarantine to a T 😉

I hope you are doing well within this crazy quarantine. I tried to write a more substantial intro in my cameo request but it limited me to 250 characters! It wouldn’t suffice for you Lar 😛

Kindly,
Annie

Dear Larry,
I’ve been looking for you for half a century — IF you played a character called Marvin Gardens way back in the day. Maybe with The Committee? I knew you were a comic giant then, as history now demonstrates. All the best from a longtime — a really longtime fan!

Larry,

My wife and I were recently enjoying some Disney+ classics with our 16 month old son, and came across a familiar face under a beard as a station worker in the movie ‘My Dog, the Thief’. However, I looked everywhere to see your name as the station worker for Southern California radio station KPAE, opposite Baker (Jim Begg), but I did not find a full cast and crew or uncredited verification that it was you. So, is my celebrity spotting accurate on this being one of your uncredited roles during your earlier years Mr. Larry Hankin?

Kind Regards,
Ben, Dani, and Daxton

Larry, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us about Bob Dylan. We had a blast. We’ll definitely have to sit and chat about esoteric things in the future!

OMG! Larry! Loved you in Friends. I am a writer/producer and we are currently packaging a Cold War thriller – true story with humor. You are SO the retired investigator!
Have your people contact my people – no wait, I am my people, so contact us, if they would like to learn more.

larry! i saw your interview with my friend mike, the scene snob, on his podcast and i really loved hearing your stories about the path your career has taken you on! you made me laugh out loud a few times! i came to your site for a t-shirt because your art is fantastic! i will check back.

Reply

Question about your t-shirt art. Were these paintings done with people posing for you or scenes you observed from memory? They have a photorealist quality to them which are very interesting.

Reply

Generally from all three: Real people in an interesting pose or position, from a newspaper photo that has something interesting in it that I’ll single out, or something I just make up. It’s a crap shoot of input and selection.

I was just watching an old Seinfeld episode and i kept thinking you looked so familiar so I checked out your name. I’m positive I saw you do a comedy routine in the 60’s at The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, Ca. It must have been early in your career. You are great ! Glad you made it in your industry and have had an excellent career.

I first saw you as Bert in Faerie Tale Theatre as a kid growing up in the Philippines, and you had me in stitches. Just adore you in everything you’ve done. Thanks for touching the world!! Keep it up, please!

Larry Hankin:

You are a very gifted actor. Love your performance in Breaking Bad and El Camino. You rock in anything you do. I know this is going back to the early 80’s but you rock in the Star Chamber as an LA cop chasing the bad guy. Keep on rocking brother.

Last evening I watched a “Hart to Hart” that I DVRed, and I noted that you were the clever policeman on the sidewalk when two men were trying to kidnap Jennifer (Hart). She pretended to litter papers on the ground in order to get your attention. It was a very clever scene, and you were perfect. I do not see this “Hart to Hart” in your Wikipedia listing of all the television shows on which you have appeared. You always bring a spark to any program!! I congratulate you on your wonderful career and all that you do. I believe that I have seen you in Manhattan where I have passed you on the sidewalk. Sending all good wishes to you …. Carole Lynn

Did I just see you on Venice Beach Without a mask? What a rebel!

Just saw you on “My Name Is Earle “ and had to check out what your name was and remember in my mind what shows and films I’ve seen you in over the decades. You sir have had f#cking absolutely astonishing and amazing career. You have given me and millions of others entertainment that triggers memories of iconic artistic entertainment. Thank you 🙏

I was blown away by your death scene in Barry. Completely blown away. Just wanted you to know.

Hi Larry, My wife and I just watched My Dog The Thief. Is that you in the movie, a radio station producer. The one with the beard?
Kind regards,

Hello Larry,
Just watched “Escape from Alcatraz” last night ( had not watched it in 30 years) and recognized you immediately! Did not know you were in it. Great performance! How was it working with the eminent Clint Eastwood?

Thank you and all the best ❤️

Larry,

I was introduced to you as a 15 year old in Canada watching Friends as Mr Heckles and then the more I looked in other media you kept popping up: Seinfeld, Pretty Woman, Ellen, Breaking Bad, Star Trek TNG, Home Alone, She’s Having A Baby and so on. Now 28 years later and living in the UK, I’m lucky to do a podcast with my friends where we’ve tackled some of your work (Pretty Woman, Home Alone, FRIENDS)

Out of all the cameos from the Friends reunion special is was so good to see you especially. We’d love to speak to you about your career (specifically from a Friends perspective but also touching on some of the other titles we’ve discussed) if you’d ever be open to such an idea.

Thanks for the memories – you’ve been a joy to watch all these years. We’ll try and keep the noise down.

Did you take the raisins?

I absolutely loved your performance as Kokolovitch in Armed and Dangerous. I could watch that movie a million times. Thanks for all of the laughs! All my best.

Larry, you’re one of my favorite actors. Everything I’ve seen you in is unusually good, and the common denominator is your presence and your acting. Just watched Star Chamber again with my son and you were great in this. Best, Rider

Happy Birthday, Mr. Hankin! Have a wonderful day!
