Continuing his weekly tradition of meeting with famous New York faces, Mo Rocca spent five minutes with Bob Balaban. You may not recognize his name, but you’ll recognize his face — in addition to being an Academy Award-nominated writer/director, he’s a well known character actor. And as it turns out, he’s quite a character.

He and Mo met up in a Bridgehampton diner/candy shop to discuss life in the Hamptons — among other things, like the decline of maraschino cherry and difficult facial expressions.
