Birth Name: Jerome Seinfeld Birthdate: April 29, 1954 Birthplace: Brooklyn, New York Occupations: Actor, Writer, Comedian, Producer Quote: On wanting to move back to New York City: "After a while in Los Angeles, you're not going to be funny anymore. I feel like I have a certain amount of oxygen left from being out here, and eventually, I won't be funny. It just slowly ebbs away, because the environment is very unfunny. L.A. is very unfunny. Out here, they exterminate it. In New York, you breed it; it's in the air. The garbagemen have it, the mailmen have it--everybody has it." - Rolling Stone magazine, September 22, 1994

Biography
Wisecracking, deadpan American stand-up comedian whose work has been characterized by the NEW YORK TIMES as "keenly observed, carefully timed, contemplative humor about life's minutiae, people's foibles and mankind's quotidian moments of angst." Typical material for Seinfeld is his signature breakfast cereal routine or his observations on subjects ranging from dry cleaning fluid ("What the hell is dry cleaning fluid? It's not a fluid if it's dry") to scuba diving ("a great activity, where your main goal is not to die"). Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, Seinfeld began cutting his show business teeth immediately after graduation from college.
