Vote for best guest actor

My favorite was the Moyle that Elaine hires for the briss. That guy was hilarious with his rant concerning glass getting embedded in the carpet. (sorry if my spelling is incorrect).

I am curious who others think was a hilarious guest actor.

I see him in movies now, and I just can't take him seriously.

You'll most likely know him as Philip Baker Hall, but he'll always be Bookman to me...

I took him seriously in "Hard Eight" and "Magnolia." The guy's a powerful actor when he wants to be.

Timmy: That's like putting your whole mouth in the dip. Just take one dip, AND END IT.

Funniest guest never seen: The Bubble-boy

Moops, Moors, Moops, Moors.

i would say Bookman

I WOULD SAY KRAMER!! HE IS A GOOD ACTOR AND IS VERY FUNNY!! GEORGE IS FUNNY TOO AND A GOOD ACTOR. ELAINE IS ALSO A GOOD ACTRESS.

I agree they're very good but they can hardly be called guest actors. By the way, is your Caps Lock stuck? Just jiggle it with a screw driver, or better, let your next door neighbour mail it to you and make sure you get an insurance. That way you can get a brand new proper functioning keyboard from the USPS, unless Newman suspects mailfraud.

Kramer? A "guest", he was pretty regular.

The good night kiss with Elaine in the car is great, listening in on their thoughts:

E: Who does this guy think he is? K: I'm Keith Hernandez

Also Jerry's dating confusion is hilarious. "Jerry, he's a guy!"

• Mark

I really enjoyed Mark Metcalf as "The Maestro", a cocky guy who is also unsure of himself at the same time. The way he buries his head in his hands at the restaurant when Elaine calls him "Bob" is hysterical. Then to see him pompously "air conducting" Beethoven's Seventh Symphony as he drives down the street in a convertible.

And of course, Philip Baker Hall as Lt. Bookman and Brian George as Babu have to be mentioned.

Ernie Sabella. Mr. Twinkacetti on "Perfect Strangers."

James Spader as Jason "Stankey" Hanke was pretty funny in "The Apology" when he climbs into the ice cream freezer - "Where's that rum raisin? Ah here we go, daiquiri ice! Whadda you lookin' at? Can't you see we're closed!? Get out!" His sarcastic apology to George was good, too - "O.k. George, I'm sorry...I'm so sorry that I didn't want your rather bulbous head struggling to find its way through the normal-sized neck hole of my finely-knit sweater."

Baker Hall as Bookman is The King, though - with Lawrence Tierney as Alton Benes a close second, IMO. "We had a funny guy with us in Korea. Tail-gunner. They blew his brains out all over the Pacific. There's nothin' funny about that."

How about Babu Baat? Every appearance ends with [finger wagging], "You're a bad man, a very, very bad man."

I thought of two more

Marcelino - the bodega owner/cockfight sponsor

the guy who falls in love with Elaine and makes her the bouquet of flowers out of a TV Guide

"Antipositivist" wrote in message news:bCuH8.814$[email]...

He also makes the department store dummy in Elaine's image. When told of the success of L16 he replies "I like to think of her as Elaine".

James Spader....the episode where he has to apologize to people he had wronged as part of his therapy. However, George doesn't get one for something he feels he should and it goes on from there. I thought the part where Spader is working dishing ice cream was very good. I don't know why this guy isn't given a series of his own with some touches of comedy as he obviously is good at it. He is always in very serious roles. He is underrated. I would like to see him in a good film role instead of the usual suspects that are in every other one and getting boring. Rachel

Yes, another vote for Babu Baat, and whoever the actor is who played him. He was on Weakest Link, when they had the Seinfeld theme show a few months back. Marlon V.

Best guest -one-time- actor ...

MR PITT AND J PETERMANN

My picks:

Jimmy (Anthony Starke) "Jimmy's gonna get you, Kramer...nobody does this to Jimmy!!"

Bob Cobb (a/k/a The Maestro, played by Mark Metcalf): pompous never was so funny. It's on a par with Metcalf's most famous role, Neidermayer in "Animal House".

Best,

Tor Jackie Chiles Mickey

I'm not sure how many eps the person had to be in before you stop considering him a guest, but I think it's hard to top Jackie Chiles and Puddy.
