Michael Richards is the ACTOR who played Cosmo Kramer on television. He is not Kramer.

Kramer once had a significant and meaningful conversation from Paul Reiser's character from Mad About You (apparently Paul used to live in Kramer's apartment).

My point is that if being weird and scatterbrained but generally decent to random strangers is banworthy behavior, I may be in trouble.

I am a congenital optimist.
Kramer consistently was the least awful person of the 4, and I’m saying that as a series fan etc like. Jerry and Elaine are just awful people. George has his moments (like his concern over a security guard’s seating situation)

Jason Alexander also voiced a star trek character on Star Trek Prodigy, which is a good show

he was a writer/producer for most of the show and he's in it a bunch including a lot of voices (primarily yelling). he was newman in the episode where newman is introduced threatening to jump off the apartment building yelling at kramer from the roof. and recurring character george steinbrenner

Gotta wonder how much of it was just being desperate to find some sort of post-Seinfeld relevance, he never really managed it

When my gas station man remodeled his gas station I was so excited for him: he would have enough space behind the counter to have a chair. I asked him about his chair plans and he didn't have any. I was insistant to the owner guy that a chair is necessary for his gas station crew's quality of life. Stop making them sit on milk crates!

They have a chair now. I learned all that from George Cantstandya

Yea definitely. It's a shame he never got that since he's pretty great when given good material.

idk, didn't he get millions and millions of dollars for seinfeld? he might just not want to work regularly and just does it on a lark

Yup,


As goofy as he looked in that episode he did make a pretty good serial killer in criminal minds (show still sucks though)

He def wanted something for himself post-Seinfeld, him and Julia both tried a bunch of different TV shows (I remember one where he was a motivational speaker I think??)

But you're absolutely right that he probably, probably gets enough money from his initial Seinfeld run + residuals that he probably only needs to do stuff on a regular schedule to keep his SAG insurance

He's done tons of work (most of which I didn't know about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Alexander#Filmography) but none of it really found mainstream success

He voiced Catbert on the Dilbert cartoon, and he was main actor / EP on a few other shows that didn't make it past season 1 (including Listen Up, Bob Patterson, Clipaholics, and Hit The Road), none of which I'd heard of
