There is no community service in Seinfeld. But rather than lauding that, I think it shows the insane banality of it.

Even when I was an actor in training, one criticism my teachers had was that I should think about directing instead of acting because the best actors see the material they’re working on through blinders. They can’t see anything but their role. I could never really do that.
