We had the pleasure of sitting down (virtually - although we were all seated) with "Mr Heckles" himself, Larry Hankin who was kind enough to give us over an hour of his time to discuss his career, his motivations, what excites him, what frustrates him and what he's working on now.  Catch Ian & Georgia for the full cut of our previously excerpted interview where we discuss:

  • His run on FRIENDS: when he knew it was going to be a hit show, which of the FRIENDS he most enjoyed working opposite and his inspiration for the part
  • How he got involved with Seinfeld and how sometimes art inspires life as he talks about working with Michael Richards before
  • His work on Home Alone - including what role he almost had and how the producers tried to do right by him and rid themselves of a curse
  • How he ended up getting invited to The Oscars
  • What inspired him to write his book, "That Guy" (available at all major online retailers) and what he's working on next
