Who is Lou and where is he now?
Lou Bonaparte was Paul Buchman’s hovering producer, introduced in [2.4]. He arrived at Buchman Films from CineGroup, the same outfit that commissioned “New York at Night.” [2.5]. Played by Larry Miller, Lou provided a manic foil to Paul at work for a brief period. He was last seen in “It’s a Wrap” [2.10] and left for parts unknown. In real life, Larry Miller is a stand-up comic and a close friend of Paul Reiser. With Jerry Seinfeld and Mark Schiff, the quartet is known as the “Funniest Men in the World Club,” and tries to meet each New Year’s Day for lunch somewhere in the world, once in London. Mark Schiff has been featured twice on MAY, as a subway passenger [2.8] and as a parking garage attendant [4.2], while the “Jerry guy” is talked about by Paul and Kramer [1.8].
