I think I have spotted him another two times but I could be wrong

1. In 'The Stock Tip' when Jerry and Vanessa are in Vermont, he is the manager who Jerry points to.

2. In 'The Apartment' when Jerry is talking to George at Monk's he is sitting in the booth in the back corner talking to some other guy.

Like I said, I'm not sure if this is the guy. Let me know if it is.

Cheers, Telsa

You were right. Two more. And 'The Apartment' was a though one. We just see him the fraction of a second. Is it Uncle Leo on the left at the counter? (I mean before he got the role for Uncle Leo?).

I think I found another one, but I'm not sure. Could someone confirm it?

Behind Jerry at Monk's when he says to Elaine: "Well, if he's doing that good, maybe he's up for another promotion" in The Fatigues.

I have another one...

In 'The Fix Up', right in the beginning when Jerry and George are at the restaurant. He is seated at a table and can be clearly seen in the background.

Hey Mike,

I think I'll pass it on to you. Would you take care of this list? ;)

A list is an organism. You created this thing and then you starved it so it turned against you.

I really thought I had them all when I first posted the list. This Norman Brenner really deserves to be called Waldo. I'll check the Fix-up Telsa. Could you confirm The Fatigues?

We must be close to have them all by now...

Maestro, definitely him in 'The Fatigues'. His hair is a lot redder though.

Maybe two more:

When George is trying to 'donate' his toilet book to charity, he his in the back standing as a woman. (???odd I know, but this woman seems to have man hands! :)

In The Maid, he is in the back at Monk's when Elaine and Jerry hates the counter.

Need confirmation.

Found a new one:

  • He walks in the elevator as Vanessa shows up in the lobby [The Stakout]

Still need confirmation for the two others. Telsa?

[email] (The Maestro) wrote in message news:...

TelsaThe Maestro

With regards to him being the woman with man hands...I think not! :)

In 'The Maid', I don't think that is him in the background. I remember seeing this guy once before in another episode when I was trying to spot Brenner and came to the conclusion that it was not him.

With regards to 'The Stakeout' it's hard to say whether that is him or not. We don't really see his face, we only see him from the back. However his hair does look like Brenner's. It's 50/50, I think we need a third opinion. Any takers?

In the meantime I'll keep my eye out for Brenner in other episodes.

Cheers, Telsa

That was a stretch, I confess.

I'll have to check again. Which other episode for that other guy?

It's not just the face. It's definitely him: the silhouette, that way of walking slow and carfully. Plus it was in the beginning of the series and he was in the episode right after.

Thanks

Found another one...

In 'The Bookstore' in the opening scene where Kramer is doing all that stuff in Jerry's apartment, right at the end he has all these people over for coffee. Brenner can be seen in the bottom right hand corner of the screen sitting down drinking coffee.
