Stuart Pankin on being Earl Sinclair

Samm Levine talks with Stuart Pankin about "Dinosaurs" on "Kevin Pollak's Chat Show" in January 2016.
FULL INTERVIEW: • KPCS: Stuart Pankin #257

[@colehalford1893]

For those who are confused...episodes were called Shows a long time ago. Shows like "Dinosaurs" were also called Shows.

SINCLAIRRRRR!!!! I always pictured Earl as Ernest Borgnine between his appearance and voice

[@rocketdave719]

Holy cow, I'm sure I've seen Stuart Pankin in numerous roles throughout the years- he's one of those actors that's very familiar, even if you don't know his name- but I never realized he did the voice of Earl. I remember feeling a similar sense of surprise when I found out that "Lucille" from Arrested Development was the voice of Fran.

[@Cazz8203]

rocketdave arachnaphobia is what I know him from

[@hgwilt1]

Really wow

[@emily91303]

I saw the character he voiced 💃 👍 Sinatra.

[@rbeygarcia]

4:27Ohhhh, so the guy who voiced Elmo guy did Baby Sinclair as well. No WONDER the giggle was the same on both puppets.

[@frisco21]

I loved him as Heinemann on CYE. His interactions with Larry David were a thing of beauty. If they ever get around to making any new episodes of Curb, I hope they have him back, and the actress who did such an awesome job playing his daughter, too.

[@yoyo2ma]

Hopefully he can get back down to that healthy weight. I can relate right now as Ive lost weight, gained it back and am trying to lose it again. Food is an addiction. Stuart is great.

[@musicmanWP]

It’s on Disney+!!! He was also on zenon

[@antsamthompson9]

I've never seen a full episode of Dinosaurs, but I guess I should.

[@antsamthompson9]

Can't argue with a fellow member of Muppet Central.

[@theblakex]

You can buy every season on Amazon. Highly recommended.

[@arbytv5139]

You can go check it out on Disney+ actually, they just put up the entire series not long ago

[@traceysumner4781]

I loved this show. I was in my 20 s then.

[@doneestoner9945]

Same here. Just rewatched it. Love love love that show, especially Robbie Sinclair.

[@joeyhenniker251]

Honey, I’m home!

[@manlymanyo2511]

Listen, i dont fuck around. Lol

[@DJ-mk5ln]

I have the entire box sets of the 4 seasons 😊

[@theincredibleimpression]

Christopher Meloni as Spike!!! Couldn't even tell it was him

[@zapcos80]

Dinosaurs is timeless.

[@willbergie55]

I remember Stuart Pankin from an episode of Barney Miller.

[@Rodney_TheOperaRat]

*Earl Sneed Sinclair😂*

[@carlosrvra]

I didn't know the gent from Not Necessarily the News & Second Sight played Earl Sinclair?! Very cool!

[@damonryan774]

Stuart Pankin was hilarious in Hollywood Knights A 1980 comedy.

[@michaelcorrigan6577]

Loved it!

[@thezenitsufan1249]

To me Stuart Pankin will always be Bob Charles from Not Necessarily the News

[@HeckyEOA89]

That interview looks so familiar- like one of the geeks from freaks and geeks

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

Its kinda debatable but he was the persona on the exterior of the costumed puppet masters. If anything he did a good job being Earl and not Stuart. I would have imagined that to be dan castelanetta.

[@davidanthonygaeta9394]

Is it possible he will reprise his role as uncle gordan in shrunk

[@shadowman2192]

Walk fit!

[@emily91303]

Pankin obviously needs a 🎙 to voice Earl.

[@allysonschexnyder8538]

Say "FRAN!!!!!!!!"

[@kylerjanovec3906]

That interviewer has a huge head

[@juliangallegos7627]

NOOOTTT THE MOMMA!!!!

[@7Jstamper]

Sad that this dude is hosting infomercials now…

[@oscarmartinez3871]

[@marioorta9217]

I hate that dude said the “f” word

[@patrickmanway290]
