This week on the podcast, Mark and Lowell speak with the ultimate professional actor, performer and raconteur Hiram Kasten.
Hiram started his stand-up career in 1978, when Jerry Seinfeld passed him on an audition at "The Comic Strip." He went on to be a regular in the New York and New Jersey area, eventually emceeing at Dangerfields for five years, while continuing to work the circuit. Hiram moved west in the late eighties and has mined a healthy career playing parts in Sit-Coms and film roles. He still does well in Vegas, where, in addition to working the major casinos, he also headlined a two-year stint in the David Cassidy original production of "The Rat Pack is Back." He also works frequently as a popular roast comedian. His theatrical training in off-Broadway has paid dividends, but he is most at home interpreting comedy, be it live or on film. Larry David has used him consistently over the years, including Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
