I enjoyed my grandparents very much. My mother and father would always allow me to stay with them.

The radio was my big influence. Comedy came from the instinctual feel I had for language.

For TV I don't think I could have gotten a better part than Uncle Junior because of the intimacy of the character based on David Chase's brilliant writing.

I had to audition for the part of Jnior, and I wanted the role terribly because I knew it was a great character. This guy is a wonderful, funny, mean old guy.

I went to Brooklyn College and met this beautiful Jewish girl named Merle, with dark hair, exotic looking and brilliant. So we got married and had three children.

I don't like the way Uncle Junior dresses. He loves it.
