Jerry and his emotions

Fans discuss Jerry's remarkably calm demeanor and emotional control in the face of life's misadventures, debating whether it reflects good character, acting limitations, or an unrealistic portrayal.

No matter what happens to Jerry he never seems to take anything all that seriously. He let George take care of all the negotiating for the network pilot deal and then he wasn't all that upset about George losing them money on the deal.

And when the girl from the NYU paper thought he was gay and Jerry and George were testing the 2 line phone, Jerry really didn't seem all that upset about the whole thing.

If some of the things that happen to Jerry happened to me, I would probably shout and cry. But he takes it all in stride.

Just an observation.

Remember...everything always evens out for Jerry "Even_Steven".

I think it shows Jerry as a bad actor...he can't act anger....he can be sarcastic, he can be ironic, but when he tries to act angry, you can see something like a half smile (like it's funny for him) on his face

Do we really want to see an angry and hostile Jerry ? Would that be funny ? No, thank god for his inability to play such a character.

That is the great thing about Jerry, he can control his emotions. He is also loyal to his friends. He never gets upset over money. He is a happy man, he is someone who we should all learn from. Jerry is an example to us all. Jerry just takes life in stride, as should we.

He doesn't have the acting ability required to express strong emotion to an audience.
