He played many roles. He said the Uncle Leo character was his favorite.

RIP

Jerry: All right. Anyway, the point I was making before Goerbbles made your hamburger is a man like you could be dating women twenty years younger. C’mon Uncle Leo, I’ve seen the way women look at you. When’s the last time you looked in a mirror? You’re an Adonis! You’ve got beautiful features, lovely skin, you’re in the prime of your life here, you should be swinging. If I were you I’d tell this Lydia character, “It’s been real,” move back into that bachelor pad and put out a sign; Open for business.

Uncle Leo: Believe me, I thought about it. But she is so perfect in every way, I can’t see a flaw.

Then he dumped her while she was in bed with him, for being an anti Semite! L0L
