Larry Charles, the director of Borat, writer and director of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc is an alumni of John Dewey HS. I tracked him down and invited him to the 40th Anniversary Reunion for school that we had on Saturday.
Not only did he accept my invitation, he agreed to do an interview and Q & A session in the auditorium.
He was very cool and answered all sorts of questions about his days at Dewey and growing up in Brooklyn, his approach to filming Curb, his views on religion and a whole bunch of other stuff.
He will be filming Curb Your Enthusiasm in New York this summer and he said he would make my bar his regular stop.
