WHERE'S THE WATCH?! AND OTHER TALES: A MEMOIR FROM SEINFELD'S UNCLE LEO
"Where's the Watch?! is a theater buff's thriller. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. And you'll recognize all the suspects."
The actor Len Lesser was an ordinary man with an extraordinary career. One of the longest in Hollywood. A quintessential ladies man, Len was a World War II veteran, who held a degree in economics. He was intelligent, driven, and handsome. He could have done anything with his life. But he chose to act. That decision would land him jobs as a factory worker and a dishwasher. He would struggle throughout his life while still sharing the screen with Hollywood legends. Before his breakout role as Uncle Leo on Seinfeld at age sixty-eight, Len was known for his work in films such as Kelly's Heroes, Birdman of Alcatraz, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini, Papillon, The Outlaw Josey Wales and TV shows like That Girl, The Monkees, and Get Smart. Told in his own distinctive voice, Where's the Watch?! will introduce you to a different side of Seinfeld's Uncle Leo. It is a poignant, inspiring romp through Hollywood... and life itself. You will never see Uncle Leo the same way again.
Praise
"Filled with all sorts of great anecdotes and commentary on Hollywood throughout the years, Lesser's recounting of his life in showbiz provides an intriguing picture of a man who was so much more than the over-the-top uncle on a show that appears on his resume in the latter stages of his career...I may not have known in advance that Lesser had the career that he did, but that part of his story is told so well that I was no longer thinking about how long it would be before Seinfeld entered his life...Where's the Watch?! is a thoroughly enjoyable read, including both a piece of Hollywood history as well as a picture of a man who left a mark on millions of lives."
