Hal Linden and Bernie Kopell: Two Down-to-Earth Jews, TalkingThey’re bright, talented, and exceptionally funny—also unpretentious and famous, which is not an oxymoron here. Actors Hal Linden and Bernie Kopell, who are 91 and 89, respectively, star in Two Jews Talking, written by Ed Weinberger and directed by Dan Wackerman. Linden and Kopell are consummate professionals--and “heimish,” so our Zoom session is more a genial conversation than an interview. Kopell begins, “Mel Brooks has made a whole different world featuring Jews—Jews, Jews, Jews. It’s always been a problem.”Our discussion switches to their current show, Two Jews, Talking.
