Beyond the Rope

Dave and Larry Sontag


Hometown: Brooklyn, NY



Age: 46



Profession: Executive doormen at Seamless/actors/models



Profile: Dave and Larry have the quiet, polite demeanor that comes from years of professionally dealing with gentlemen's clubs' clientele—and the knowledge you're going to do what they want you to, one way or another.



Why I do what I do: "(Being bouncers) basically supported our wrestling and acting careers"—Dave. "We made more money bouncing than teaching wrestling"—Larry.



What you don't know about them: Known for their roles in Ocean's Eleven and Twelve (Plainclothes Goons 1 and 2), the brothers have actually been acting for 16 years and traveled the world as pro wrestlers.



Last book read/film seen: Hell's Angels by Hunter S. Thompson—Dave; Matador—Larry ("That was the last one I saw that I liked.")



Latest accomplishment: Dave wrote, produced and directed the short Being Steven Spielberg, starring Larry, which screened at The World of Comedy Film Festival in Toronto.



Quote: "See you at Seamless."
