No roles for you!

Larry Thomas, the man who played the Soup Nazi on “Seinfeld,” says Larry David dashed his hopes of appearing on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

“I think my manager actually talked to [Larry David] once because another one of her clients was doing an episode and she said to him, ‘You should have Larry [Thomas] on your show,’” the 58-year-old actor, who says he hasn’t seen David since the May 14, 1998, “Seinfeld” finale, told Page Six on Tuesday.

“I think his reply was, ‘I’d really love to but I literally have every actor in Hollywood wanting to do it and I’m just dancing around who next, who next, who next,’” added Thomas, who was on hand at Hulu’s “Seinfeld: The Apartment,” a recreation of Jerry Seinfeld’s iconic home on the eight-year show.

Thomas said his idea for a guest appearance on “Curb,” which ran from 1999 to 2011 on HBO, would have involved David approaching him to do his famous “No soup for you!” line.

“It was kind of obvious, but I think it would have worked like a charm,” Thomas said. “Larry is out to dinner with some of his friends and they spot me sitting at a table. And someone says, ‘Can you get him to come over and say the soup line?’ And Larry would of course go over and ask me. I’d say, ‘You know I really left that behind, man. I don’t like to do that. I’ll pass that if you don’t mind.’ Then we could get into this great argument over who made who.”

Despite not getting on the show, Thomas added there are no hard feelings. “That’s the problem with a lot of really great shows, everybody wants to do them,” he said.

He is, however, thankful for his appearance on “Seinfeld.” “I was lucky to be an unknown that got into ‘Seinfeld,’” said Thomas. “It’s just a real lucky thing.”
