Paul Reiser -- what does DL think of him?

I know Helen Cun... err Hunt is universally reviled on here. But what about him?

I never watched that show so I have no opinion one way or the other.

He was good in Red Oaks.

by Anonymousreply 4January 31, 2022 12:47 AM

I thought he was hotter than Greg Evigan on MTD.

I always thought he was cute.

He kind of disowned My Two Dads for some reason. It was a good show.

Relatively unfunny cisgender male comic with a lucky portion of career success.

R7 It was funny, and ten times better than Mad About You.

by Anonymousreply 9January 31, 2022 2:03 AM

Never liked him. And yes, My Two Dads was way better than that Mad About You shit.

He probably disowns it because Greg was way hotter.

He was hilarious as the ultimate smarmy corporate, yuppie slime ball in Aliens. It was a timely, cathartic movie demise.

Never cared for My Two Dads. I'm still a big fan of Mad About You.

Occasionally a Funny Jewish guy,, but never my type physically, I never watched the My Two Dads TV show, but I liked sexy Greg Evigan, and he (PR) was a good creepy villain in the Aliens movie sequel.

Not my type either, looks or humor.

Can you count on him?

by Anonymousreply 16January 31, 2022 2:36 AM

Not my type of funny. Humor based on never-ending anxiety is just so grating.

by Anonymousreply 17January 31, 2022 2:41 AM

I hardly recognized him in "The Kominsky Method."

I've always had an irrational hatred of him. I'm sure he's a lovely gent, but between his role in Aliens (his death should have been graphically depicted onscreen) and that stupid show with Helen Hunt, plus his unfortunate appearance (which I shouldn't hold against him, but I do) I simply cannot stand him.

Good in [italic]Diner[/italic] and [italic]Aliens[/italic]

He was of a moment when Jewish Hollywood was trying hard to promote itself.

by Anonymousreply 21January 31, 2022 3:21 AM

In 1998 there was this anti-paparazzi bill that went up to congress and he was one of the big celebrities who supported it and I thought, "who is buying paparazzi photos of Paul Reiser?" Someone was though apparently.

by Anonymousreply 22January 31, 2022 3:29 AM

R21 He played the urban successful Jewish guy in Mad About You well. Are there any young actors still playing that classic Jewish kind of guy? Ben Stiller comes to mind.

by Anonymousreply 23January 31, 2022 4:00 AM

Jesse Eisenberg

Oh, Paul! I liked the Mad About You revival/reboot three years ago.

by Anonymousreply 25April 19, 2022 5:16 AM

He aggravates me. I never liked him at all.

by Anonymousreply 26April 19, 2022 5:25 AM

In the only role I've ever seen him in, Whiplash, he was warm, likeable and believable.

by Anonymousreply 27April 19, 2022 5:34 AM

Agree that the unending anxiety in Mad About You was not humorous. Never found Paul Reiser or Helen Hunt funny.

Don’t find either of them appealing: physically or in regards to their acting although the one exception was the character PR played in Aliens. It seemed so naturally up his alley.

This all tracks with the comment someone made about Helen Hunt who was cast on a mad About You: she had every reason to be happy while on Mad About You, but was perpetually unsatisfied and unhappy.

by Anonymousreply 28April 19, 2022 5:34 AM

I think he played himself in Aliens.

by Anonymousreply 29April 19, 2022 5:37 AM

I liked him on Mad About You & thought he was really nebbishly cute back then, I mostly watched for Lisa Kudrow, she was hysterical as Ursula.

by Anonymousreply 30April 19, 2022 6:22 AM

Remember Paul's sitcom that was cancelled after one episode, The Paul Reiser Show? LMAO

by Anonymousreply 31April 19, 2022 6:26 AM

The ultimate greasy 80s yuppie in Aliens. I want to tear his head off when he says "those Space Marines are real tough hombres". So perfectly hateable.

by Anonymousreply 32April 19, 2022 6:38 AM

A couple of decades ago Seinfeld talked about how Paul followed him career-wise. Soon after Seinfeld gave that interview there was a plot line on Seinfeld about a comedian who copied everything Jerry did.

Paul's wife is a psychologist and very low-key. They had a son with developmental disabilities and she's stayed out of the limelight as has the now adult child. They all seem very harmless although Paul has an enormous ego relative to his limited accomplishments.

I hated the way he wrote his jeans. All scrunched up, high in the waist, no bulge.
