This picture here isn't even the evidence that got him out. The CCTV footage like this was thrown out as being too low-quality to make out that it was clearly him. What got him out was that he accidentally walked through the back of a shot in Curb Your Enthusiasm as it was being filmed there.

The Lawyer went to great lengths to get the footage because it was for an unaired episode they didn't want leaked. He had to tell them that a mans life was on the line if they didn't get the footage, and he had to go in person to the production studio and be supervised while watching it.

Not important to the story, but just putting myself in his shoes, I don’t think I could manage to not laugh a single time during an episode of curb. I wonder if the lawyer was able to sit in a room with a TV, watch the whole thing, and keep a straight face and be all serious; or, did a giggle or two managed to eek out. Did he get snacks?

IT wouldn't have been a properly edited together episode so it was probably 80% b-roll and dud takes.

With Larry David, there is no B-roll. Man’s a legend.

Hah true, but I meant all the other little shots they get incase in the editing room they want a little transitional clip or something.
