Jerry Seinfeld: See Photos Of The ‘Seinfeld’ Actor Throughout His Life — What’s the big deal! Well, Jerry Seinfeld is. The American actor, stand-up comedian, writer, producer, and director rose to fame with his sarcastic style of observational comedy in the ’90s and has been making people laugh ever since. Born on April 29, 1954 in Brooklyn, New York City, he later graduated from Queens College with a degree in communications and theater.

Jerry rocketed to fame playing a fictionalized version of himself in the sitcom, ‘Seinfeld’, which he created and wrote with Larry David. The show aired for nine seasons from July 1989 until May 1998, winning 10 Emmys over the years.

In 2005, Comedy Central named Jerry the ’12th Greatest Stand-up Comedian of All Time’. The comic produced, co-wrote, and starred in the 2007 film ‘Bee Movie’. In 2010, he premiered a reality series called ‘The Marriage Ref’, on NBC. He followed that with the series ‘Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee’. Seinfeld married Jessica Sklar on Christmas Day in 1999. Together, they have one daughter, Sascha (born in 2000), and sons, Julian Kal (born in 2003) and Shepherd Kellen (born in August 2005).

Jerry talked about the impact fatherhood has had on him with Parent.com in 2007, saying it has changed “almost everything I do”. “[From] trying to stay healthy, how I use my time and plan my schedule, I think: ‘If this takes me away from them, it better be very important.’

“I don’t travel that much when I do standup. I only go for the night or two nights at most, not for weeks at a time. That’s why I’m less likely to do another movie.”

Jerry once joked about the ins and outs of relationships, saying. “There really needs to be better instructions. For relationships and for parenting.”

He told Mr. Porter, “There’s a lot of very basic things that you could tell any guy who’s getting married. I would say it wasn’t until I was married 10 years that I really could put out a nice short manual that I would clip to your sleeve. Here’s what you do, here’s what you don’t do. Wifeology needs to be taught. And Dadism needs to be taught.”
