In his early days in Hollywood, he worked as a stand-in for children,
something many little people in the town do. This inspired the plot for
the Seinfeld (1989) episode "The Stand-In.".
[on Seinfeld (1989) fight scene with Michael Richards] There's this desire, sometimes, to make little men animal like, either patting them on the head, or having them bite. It's dehumanizing. So I try to steer clear of that. But this was different: face-to-face, mano a mano, just two guys who got in a fight.
