Fans discuss who voiced and played George's boss Steinbrenner, clarifying that Lee Bear played the body while Larry David provided the voice, and distinguishing this from director Garry Marshall.

I dont know if its been duscussed lately but I have to ask this: I know that George boss's face was never shown, but I think that the actor is the actor that was Murphy Brown's boss, and the directort of "beautyful woman" and its sequal. is it correct? thanx

"Beautiful Woman?" Do you mean "Pretty Woman?"

Either way, though, you're wrong. Steinbrenner was played by Lee Bear (body) and Larry David (voice). I think Larry may have done the body occasionally also, but there was never anyone else.

Please E-mail me in case I don't see your post here.

Actually, I heard that David only played Steinbrenner in one single episode. In all others, it was bear.

I don't know which episode, but it shouldn't be tough to spot now that I'm looking for it. David is tiny compared to Bear, I'll just look for "Little Stein".

The Opposite, where Steinbrenner first appeared. You can see Larry David step into Big Stein's silhouette.

You're thinking of Garry Marshall (Penny Marshall's brother) who Directed "Pretty Woman" on the big screen and produced "Happy Days" on the t.v. screen. Marshall's voice sounds similar to Larry David's (the "Seinfeld" voice of "big Stein") - both have a heavy New York (Brooklyn?) accent.

I can't see the mistake. To me, Garry Marshall is far far off from being Larry David. Oh and, if those two had Brooklyn accents, then it's safe to say I don't have one...Of course coming from Brooklyn (the neighborhood where "Welcome Back, Kotter" took place, in fact the opening scenes were shot just a block down from me) I'd have expected to one day learn I had a heavy Brooklyn accent. Thank god I can dismiss that, ay!
