Best walk-on character

Vote for the best/favourite guest character. In other words, someone other than the Four, Newman, the parents, etc.

I just watched The Library and I'd have to say that Bookman the library investigator is one of the best Seinfeld walk-ons I've seen. Of course, I haven't even seen every episode.

I totally agree. Philip Baker Hall did one of the best jobs defining a unique character. I still split my sides when I watch him.

Definitely TAXI. One of my all-time favorite sitcoms.

Any other TAXI fans remember at the very end, after the credits and the song ended, "Goodnight Mr. Walters... (Groan)"?? I Looooved that bit!

Anyway, one of my fave walk-ons was holistic healer, Tor Eckman.
Stephen Tobolowsky really made the most of his one scene.

No. Those are all production company logos. Like the Tri-star horse thingie they show after syndicated Seinfeld, and the lighthouse thingie they show after prime time eps.

The paper ripping guy thingie is for Steven J. Cannell, I think.
Another one I've always likes is MTM Productions.  They show the MGM
lion logo only there's a little kitten in there.  I'm sure you've seen
it.

I thought Jim (Christopher Lloyd) was the funniest out of all of them. He reminds me a LOT of kramer, doncha think? The hair, the seemingly low IQ and common sense. The crazy things he did.

Funny you mention this because I have always felt not necessarily that the characters are similar, but that Michael Richards must have been a fan of Christopher Lloyd. I think you can clearly see the influence there.

Oh my god, you're right, I change my vote, I forgot about her--she was "the best, Jerry, the best!"

Sydney.

the best one-time character is the busboy that george got fired.

Lt. Bookman in the episode The Library Book was incredible.

I also liked the brother with an attitude at his grandmother's funeral. "Did you just double dip that chip?" Sometime later he says..."Next time you dip a chip, do it once and end it!"

The lawyer Jackie "Outrageous, Aggregious, Preposterous"

Babu

I must agree, Bookman was fantastic, so was that Lawyer!!

Adam

Although these are very good. The uptight Moyle (sp). This was the one where they went to the circumism. Jerry finger was nicked, Kramer almost kidnapped the baby, George fainted!!! Hysterical!!

I agree, he was great !! And when he went into the long explanation to Elaine about putting her glass on the edge of the table, it was hysterical !!
