Frank Costanza first appeared in season four of Seinfeld , though he was originally played by John Randolph. Jerry Stiller soon took over the role, introducing fans to the joy of Festivus and the peaceful qualities of "Serenity Now. Then year-old actress Estelle Harris first appeared as Estelle Costanza in Seinfeld during the season four episode "The Contest," during which George tried to prove that he was the "master of his domain.
Heidi Swedberg portrayed George's fiance Susan on 29 episodes of Seinfeld beginning with "The Pitch" in season three when she was 26 years old.
Her final appearance was in newly shot flashback scene in season nine. Then year-old comedian Larry David saw the network premiere of Seinfeld - which he co-created with Jerry Seinfeld - in He appeared on the series on several occasions most notably as the voice of George Steinbrenner and as the man wearing a cape.
His voice can be heard heckling Jerry in the final credits of the final episode of the series in She was often seen in the background of the diner from seasons four through nine. Cohen was 68 when the series ended in Jerry Seinfeld Jerry Seinfeld. Julia Louis-Dreyfus Elaine Benes. Michael Richards Cosmo Kramer. Kramer also participates in lawsuits against various people and companies. He won one such suit though he received no monetary compensation against a coffee company whose beverages were too hot a reference to a famous real-life lawsuit brought against McDonald's and a tobacco company whose products aged him prematurely.
Kramer saves money by appropriating items from Jerry, most notably food. Jerry's apartment is Kramer's second home; he has his own key to the apartment and rarely bothers to knock.
Kramer's apartment is the subject of numerous radical experiments in interior design, including "levels" no furniture , a reconstruction of the set of The Merv Griffin Show , and other bizarre schemes. A struggling and untalented actor, Kramer briefly lived in Los Angeles, where his only accomplishments were accosting Fred Savage , appearing in a cameo on Murphy Brown , and being suspected as a serial killer.
He was quite good as "gonorrhea," however, at Mt. Sinai Hospital's student-diagnosis sessions, drawing rave reviews from the hospital's staff for his performance. Kramer also was given a part as an extra in a Woody Allen movie for which he practiced the line, "These pretzels are making me thirsty.
He also worked as a stand-in on a daytime television soap opera with his friend Mickey in " The Stand In ". Additionally, Jerry claims that Kramer does the worst Cockney accent he has ever heard. A devout viewer of Seinfeld probably will have noticed that even though Kramer is usually unemployed, he is able to afford a Manhattan apartment, which are usually very expensive.
Of course, some explanations are made here:. Like the other three characters, Kramer has pseudonyms he uses in various schemes; H.
Pennypacker, Dr. Martin van Nostrand, and Peter van Nostrand are the most popular. Under the name H. Pennypacker, in " The Puerto Rican Day ", Kramer poses as a buyer interested in an apartment, in order to use its bathroom. Kramer also appeared as Pennypacker to get revenge on a store, Putumayo, by repricing all the merchandise in the store with his pricing gun.
As Dr. Martin van Nostrand, Kramer tried to get Elaine's medical chart to erase the negative comments her doctor had made in " The Package ". He also used the van Nostrand alias in the episode " The Slicer ", posing as a dermatologist for a cancer screening at Kruger. Kramer used the name Martin van Nostrand sans the "doctor" prefix while auditioning for the role of himself on the show Jerry. Kramer posed as Professor Peter van Nostrand in " The Nose Job " in order to retrieve his jacket from another man's apartment.
Kramer has also been referred to as "Assman" in reference to the license plate the state of New York accidentally gave him. But in season four's "The Outing," an NYU student writes an article assuming that the two are a couple, and in that episode we get some clear verification that they met in gym class at school.
So the question is: Is George older than he says, or is Jerry younger than he says? The show is basically about them being pathological liars, so it's possible one or both of them aren't being truthful. Although Williams is one of the world's foremost experts on Seinfeld , he says that he just kind of splits the difference between the actors's ages.
In the episode about Jerry's long-outstanding library book, the comedian claims he returned it in Doing some back-of-the-napkin math on that, and presuming that Jerry was an year-old high school senior at the time, and given that the show piloted 18 years after , it would put him at about That number gets further credence because it was Jerry Seinfeld's actual age when the pilot filmed.
That wasn't enough for me as someone who's seen a million teen movies with year-old actors and about as many rom-coms where a something starlet plays a matronly figure. There's a clear difference between a character's age and an actor's. One is canon; one is not. One would have me believe that the Fonz was 39 years old. Fuck right off. I decided then to do the only thing that could solve this once and for all, which was call up one of the writers. Peter Mehlman—the legendary TV maestro who worked on Seinfeld for almost the entirety of its run—was kind enough to indulge my stupid line of questioning over the phone.
I was already pretty sure that I'd figured out the reason I found the mystery of the Seinfeld characters's ages so perplexing. I may just be a degenerate, but if you're trying to tell me that I'm supposed to accept that there could be a group of young even young-ish New Yorkers who didn't drink or go out and didn't talk about not drinking and going out endlessly and annoyingly, I would tell you Westworld requires less suspension of disbelief.
There's no youthful energy. It is bizarre how they live their social lives as people who aren't married and don't have kids. Mehlman, however, had logical answers for why the characters lived the way they did. Jerry was a comedian, he explained, so there were no coworkers for him to go out with, and he did hang out with certain other comedians, like Kenny Bania, whom he despises.
You see George in a bar after he loses his job. Elaine goes to a baseball game. We also discussed some of the inconsistencies throughout the show.
