Seinfeld says backup characters took over his show
Los Angeles AP: Jerry Seinfeld says his NBC hit Seinfeld evolved from a stand-up showcase to a character driven series. He notes relationships clicked and the cast, including Jason Alexander Julia Louis Dreyfus and Michael Richards, now define the show. He writes stand-up to fit the story and tapes routines separately. Seinfeld plans to focus on stand-up rather to TV acting, seeking to travel and perform live while using TV to promote appearances. He recalls growing up in Brooklyn deciding to become a comedian and credits early influences like Cosby King Carlin and Bruce. He wrote most material himself with Larry David contributing on many episodes.
