Q&A with Seinfeld's Soup Nazi: On the Mets, cell phones and the show

Larry Thomas just might be the most memorable one-episode character in sitcom history.

Thomas, of course, played The Soup Nazi in a Season 7 episode of Seinfeld. His “No soup for you!” line was brilliant — both in its creation and its delivery — and he became an instant fan favorite, to the point where he was brought back for the series finale a couple years later.

Even now, almost two decades after the show ended (seriously how has it been almost 19 years?) Thomas’ Soup Nazi is a big draw for minor-league baseball games, charity golf tournaments and all sorts of commercials across the country.
