One of the more subversive figures in late 20th century and early 21st century comedy, Larry Charles was a former stand-up who brought a sense of enlightened anarchy to such groundbreaking series as "Seinfeld" (NBC, 1989-1998) and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (HBO, 2000- ) as well as to big screen hits like "Borat" (2006). A provocateur whose skill at intelligent, absurdist humor was matched - or countered - by his penchant for gross-out gags, Charles' creations amassed a huge fan base that elevated him to the forefront of the comedy scene. Not every project matched "Borat" and "Seinfeld" in popularity, but when Charles struck pay dirt, it invariably made headlines and furthered his status as one of the industry's most creative figures.
