Who played the "angry clown" in "The Opera"? I'm not referring to Joe Divola but the panhandling clown who approaches Jerry and Elaine when they're in line. I checked the Newsguy's scripts page but the only actors unaccounted for in the credits are:
Man #1 Tom Celli Man #2 Jason Wingreen
The script at Mike's site syas that it's Joe Divola but it sure doesn't seem to be! Here's the dialog to the scene:
"JOE DIVOLA: Anything is welcome, I accept change. JERRY: I don't have anything, I gave it to that guy. JOE DIVOLA: You know, you could just say no, you don't have to humiliate me. I may be dressed as a clown but I am a person. JERRY: I'm telling you, the guy took..... JOE DIVOLA: And I don't need people like you looking down their noses at me. I am just a street performer out here trying to make enough to get by.
Mrs Reichman runs past
MRS REICHMAN: Doctor! Doctor! Is there a doctor anywhere! JOE DIVOLA: What, are you showing off to your girlfriend here, is that it? ELAINE: I'm not his girlfriend. We dated for a while, but things didn't really work out. JOE DIVOLA: You people make me sick. JERRY: That is one angry clown!"
The reason I ask is that the guy's voice sounds very familiar and I'm wondering if the actor is well known.
Second question: There's a woman in a framed photograph in Elaine's apartment in the later episodes. I think you see her behind the yellow couch sometimes. Is this woman related to JLD? The photo looks like it's from the 40's.
Tough, eh?
