He also played Stanley Spadowski in the Weird Al Yankovic movie "VHF". He was pretty funny in that episode. My favorite was his first TV episode (when he was given the show and he talked about his dream) and the games he had on his show (you get to drink from the fire hose!).

The guy you're thinking of is Josh Mostel (son of Zero Mostel).

No, that was Josh Mostel, son of Zero Mostel.

But Wayne Knight was once in a comedy troupe called Assaulted Nuts with Emma Thompson. The two are still good friends which explains his being on Dead Again.

Yup!! I thought he looked familiar then I realized he was from JP.

Neuman was not in City Slickers. There is a very slight resemblance to the ice cream guru, in that they are both obese and wear glasses. Hell, that would mean we've got millions of Neumans walking about...perish the thought!

Ooops. I gather I was wrong. Teach me for not checking the facts.

OK - Neuman WASN'T in City Slickers, but did you catch Elvis in it?

He also had a small part in "Dead Again".

YES, It is the same person. Your office mate needs glasses.

Yes, they are one and the same, although their relative masses are off by quite a bit--I just received my Jurassic Park tape and I noticed that our friend Newman is significantly rotund in JP, whereas he appeared semi-svelte in the recent Seinfeld episode (the one where he jilted Jerry's girlfriend). IMHO, he's been on some major diet! (It's possible he's fallen in with the "stop the insanity" witch).

It was.

Yes , Wayne Knight was in Jurassic Park. My question is "was he in JFK ?", If so, then he recreated the same scene (with the pointer in court) for the famous Keith Hernandez episode. THAT sure looked like him... NEUMAN !!!

No, his name was Numa. Sounds like Newman, though.
