Larry Hankin has appeared in over 200 movies, television shows, and short films. He's an accomplished writer, Academy Award nominated filmmaker, founding member of the famed improv troupe The Committee, and all around raconteur. He joins me to talk about his life as a journeyman actor and artist, and what a great conversation it is. In this episode we talk his youth in Far Rockaway, Queens, his begrudging college career, and his time as a standup in Greenwich Village where he rubbed elbows with every cool person who came out of that scene in the 60's. He tells me about working with Bob Dylan and Robbie Robertson, opening for The Loving Spoonful, and hanging out with the legendary Lenny Bruce.
His new memoir, The Guy: A Cautionary Memoir, is available now and I can not recommend it enough. Find out more about Larry here:
