Larry Hankin is an American actor, performer, director and producer. Hankin is known for his roles in TV shows Friends and Seinfeld; as well as for his major role in the movie Escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood.

He had cameo appearances in three John Hughes films, Home Alone, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and She's Having A Baby, as well as minor roles in The Sure Thing and Running Scared. Hankin also appeared in Married... with Children, as well as one of the Halloween specials of Home Improvement. Hankin and Curtis Armstrong played the hippie entrepreneurs who purchased Buy the Book on Ellen. In Seinfeld, Hankin portrayed Tom Pepper, the actor cast as Kramer on the pilot-within-a-TV-show Jerry. In real life, he had actually auditioned for the role of Kramer when Seinfeld began production. Larry David initially felt that Hankin best matched his idea of what the character would be like in comparison to his real-life inspiration, Kenny Kramer, but Michael Richards ultimately landed the role. He appears in seasons three and five of Breaking Bad as junkyard owner Old Joe. In 1980, he shared an Academy Award nomination for Outstanding Short Film, Live action, for Solly's Diner. LESS
