I'm fairly new to alt.tv.seinfeld, and only caught the tailend of the "What's Newman's first name?" thread. Well, after watching the movie "JFK", I know it's Bill. Vincent D'Onofrio, who plays Newman on "Seinfeld", also was in "JFK". And in "JFK", he played Bill Newman. Coincidence? I think not!
Newman's first name is Bill!

🧩 Trivia🔥 Controversial
Fans discuss Newman's first name being Bill, though the original poster incorrectly attributes the character to Vincent D'Onofrio instead of Wayne Knight.

It's too bad when AOL'ers prove their reputation. :) Just kidding. But Newman is played by Wayne Knight, not D'Onofrio.

Whoh, wait a second here. Uh, Wayne Knight plays Newman. Although he was in JFK and may have played a character named Bill Newman and Newman's first name may in fact be Bill. Wayne Knight isn't Vincent D'Onofrio.

Vincent D'Onofrio does *not* play Newman. Wayne Knight plays Newman.

Wayne Knight plays Newman. D'Onofrio was the dumbass draftee in "Full Metal Jacket", the one who shot the DI, then himself. He was never in Seinfeld, was he?
