25 Things Even the Most Die-Hard 'Seinfeld' Fan Doesn't Know About 'Seinfeld'
Off of Yahoo...Most of the facts are dumb/boring...but here are a couple...
1. British actor Norman Brenner was the stand-in for Michael Richards for all nine seasons of Seinfeld, but he also played an extra in more than two dozen episodes. One of his most memorable extra spots (that is, one where his character had a name and was not referred to as "Man in Store," "Man on Sidewalk," or "Man on Bus"): as Ian, a friend of Elaine's shady clothing salesman boyfriend in Season 7's "The Wig Master." Brenner was such a beloved member of the show's staff that he also had a role in the 2009 Curb Your Enthusiasm episode "Seinfeld" that featured the Seinfeld reunion (he played a customer at Mocha Joe's coffee cart).
4. Jason Alexander's wardrobe for George Costanza was often made one size too small, which added to the portrait of George as perpetually annoyed.
5. Seinfeld had its controversies, but the most controversial episode was the one that turned off the cast so much they didn't even film it. "We had a script that the actors and I started to work on and none of us liked it," director Cherones says. "It was about a gun, and guns aren't funny. I went back to the office that first day, after we were sent down to rehearse, and said, 'We don't want to do this one.' And Larry and the Castle Rock executives whom we talked to all agreed, and Larry wrote another script." Season 2's "The Bet" revolved around Elaine and Jerry making a wager about how easy it would be to buy a gun. When the script was tossed out, it was replaced with "The Phone Message."
10. Michael Richards makes his first sliding Kramer entrance in Episode 3, "The Robbery." He did it another 284 times by series' end.
14. Lee Garlington, the actress who played waitress Claire in the pilot, was originally going to be a regular cast member, but when the show was ordered to series, the character was no longer part of the landscape. According to Jason Alexander during a 2010 interview on Kevin Pollak's Chat Show, Garlington made the crucial error of telling Larry David she had "a few ideas" about the show, and, yada, yada, yada, Claire the waitress was replaced with Elaine the Benes in Episode 2.
15. Alt-casting: David Letterman bandleader Paul Schaffer, Nathan Lane, Steve Buscemi, and David Alan Grier were considered for the role of George; Patricia Heaton, Susie Essman, Megan Mullally and Rosie O'Donnell were considered for the role of Elaine; and Tony Shalhoub and Larry Hankin were considered for the role of Kramer. Hankin is the actor who played Tom Pepper, the actor auditioning to play Kramer, in the Season 4 finale "The Pilot."
