10 Seinfeld Reappearances On Curb Your Enthusiasm
9. The Drooling Library Cop
In the same season three Seinfeld episode, veteran actor Philip Baker Hall brilliantly plays staunch New York Public Library investigator Lt. Bookman who comes after “joy boy” Jerry for losing the book Tropic of Cancer years earlier. Jerry eventually discovers he lent the title to George and he read from Tropic of Capricorn with Sherry.
In the fourth season of Curb, Hall plays a similarly serious character Dr. Morrison in the episode “Mel’s Offer”. He examines Larry and has multiple hilarious exchanges over his refusal to hand out his home phone number, allowing Larry to use his phone, and the severity of Larry’s injuries.
He ends up drooling on Larry in a bizarre moment during a consultation. One thing is for sure during all of their exchanges: There’s one prick involved.
