VIDEO : Jill Soloway Wrote Dialogue For Jeffrey Tambor Years Before 'Transparent'

Decades before Jill Soloway cast Jeffrey Tambor as transgender mom Maura Pfefferman in her groundbreaking show 'Transparent,' they had already written dialogue for him. Soloway wrote their first spec script for the 1990s talk show spoof The Larry Sanders Show, in which Tambor played Garry Shandling's sidekick, Hank Kingsley. During a recent panel discussion, Soloway said, "I understood [Tambor's] voice, so I wrote a whole Hank Kingsley episode."
