Confessions of a Soup Nazi: An Adventure in Acting and Cooking

Larry Thomas is an actor most recognized for his Emmy nominated performance as "The Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld. Larry has been an actor for thirty-five years and is a veteran of many television shows, films, and hundreds of theatre performances. Born in Brooklyn, NY Larry has been many things including bail bondsman, bartender and brain surgeon (well not really brain surgeon but it rounded out the three b's. Actually you can add janitor to that list, just as important in some circles, let's face it). As a father, Larry is grateful for his family and career. During a life of hard work Larry always found time for his only three hobbies: watching movies and TV, cooking and running (though not necessarily at the same time). Having had his lifelong fantasy of being on the big and small screen come true, he is now using his college journalism degree and adding author to that repertoire. This entertaining autobiography/cook book will take you through the life of a dedicated actor who became an "overnight success" after 15 years . . . overnight being 15 years. It is his favorite recipes interspersed with stories about getting that "big break", everything that led him to that point, and all the fun things that follow along with some favorite, never before seen photos. Doesn't everyone want the Soup Nazi's favorite recipes? Elaine certainly did. As an amateur cook and the son of a restaurateur, how ironic that he became one of the most famous television "chefs" of all time.
