Feature article on Sandy Baron, who played Jack Klompus

In today's Los Angeles Times, there is a fascinating and surprising article on the actor who played Jack Klompus in the Seinfeld series. It is the lead, above-the-fold feature article in the paper's Southern California Living section:

After a Fall, He Had the Last Laugh

Late comedian Sandy Baron's brief comeback offered one friend a lesson in keeping the faith.

In the print edition, there is a nice photograph with the following caption: "Sandy Baron, in his heyday as a comedian and actor, before his life and career took a steep dive and he became homeless."

Jack Klompus, is that the "Take the pen, I want you to have the pen" guy?

Yes. He used to perform on Ed Sullivan, too. He looked very different then.

That's a nice article. Thanks for posting. One thing always comes to mind when I read stories like this, and I might be out of line for suggesting it, but why wouldn't someone like Jerry Seinfeld, a man who was getting $1million an episode, help out a fellow actor who's down on his luck?
