Quote of the Day (Len Lesser, on Being “Uncle Leo” on “Seinfeld”)

“Uncle Leo became a whole new thing for me. After sweating out every job, my God. Now it’s everywhere I go. I was at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, watching people put notes in the wall, it’s an esoteric day, very silent, very nice. All of a sudden: ‘Uncle Leo, where’s the watch?’”—Actor Len Lesser, on his late celebrity achieved as “Uncle Leo” on the sitcom Seinfeld, quoted in Bruce Weber, “Len Lesser, Uncle Leo on ‘Seinfeld,’ Dies at 88,” The New York Times, February 18, 2011
