A question was posed on another NG asking if Jack Larson of Superman fame was still working. I'm sure I saw him on a Seinfeld episode and would like someone to confirm or deny. Here's the scene:

Kramer has stumbled into that office job and now is doing the 9 to 5 grind. The person who I think is Jack Larson is his boss who has read Kramer's report and realizes that he doesn't know what he's doing.

Larson: I don't know what this is.

Kramer: Well, I'm just trying to get ahead.....

I'm sure you all remember this scene. That WAS Jack Larson.....wasn't it??

Thanks for any replies.

Leland (as you call Larson) was played by J. Patrick McCormack

I think the closest Jack Larson got to being in a "Seinfeld" was being in Jerry's "Superman" commercial.

[At the Superbowl], a new American Express commercial debuted featuring Jerry and his hero, Superman. The voice of Superman is that of Patrick (David Puddy) Warburton and Lois Lane is played by George's girlfriend, Tara, in "The Blood". . . . Also seen in the commercial is Jack Larson, who played Jimmy Olsen in The Adventures of Superman.

I've been informed that the character that I was referring to was played by Harry S. Murphy. That's the late 50ish office manager that fires Kramer.

Right. Leland was played by McCormack and the unnamed Office Manager by Murphy. But I believe it was Leland that did the firing. Anyone know? Care? :-) :-)
