EXTRApr: From Off Roden:

SeinOHurl: It is one hour long with a cast of thousands, but we are only paying a dozen or so.
EXTRApr: From Gpas:
Question: Why do you think J. Peterman and Elaine never ended up in bed together?
SeinOHurl: Because Elaine's lovers only last one episode.
EXTRApr: From Chula055:
Question: Are you upset that the show is ending?
SeinOHurl: As a viewer, there will be a big black hole on Thurs. night television, as an actor, I'll miss the paycheck.

SeinOHurl: Around Jerry I always feel as though I am in the presence of greatness.
EXTRApr: From Abundance:

SeinOHurl: I'm going to chase Jerry for the rest of his life for quitting so soon.
EXTRApr: From Snow14110:
Question: Have you developed your Peterman character after anyone in particular?
SeinOHurl: Yes. He is patterned after the 40's radio dramas and a bit of a bad Charles Kuralt.
EXTRApr: From ClukBucke:
Question: What made you guys decide to end the series of Seinfeld?
SeinOHurl: "We guys" didn't, it was Jerry's show and he made the decision.
EXTRApr: From Velardi:

SeinOHurl: I fired her a dozen times already. I supposed I could do it once more out of force of habit.
EXTRApr: From Taau19:

SeinOHurl: Loving. Because I was one of the original twin brothers and I had more fun on that show.
EXTRApr: From CSere:
Question: So are we in for some surprises.
SeinOHurl: Yes. Although no one has seen a script and I've already shot several scenes. None of which make any sense to me.
EXTRApr: From DawsonNew:

SeinOHurl: Yeah, he's a funny guy.
EXTRApr: From BrOkEn809:
Question: How is it being crazy J Peterman on Seinfeld?
SeinOHurl: I enjoy this role more than anything else I've done because I've created a character that nobody's really done before.
EXTRApr: Question: Have you ever confronted the real J. Peterman?
SeinOHurl: Confront is a strong word. We "met" on a talk show two years ago and have become fast friends ever since as you can well imagine. He has lost his identity to me and I'm not giving it back.
EXTRApr: From PandyGirl:
Question: What's Jerry and the rest of the cast like offset?
SeinOHurl: Jerry is about the calmest person I've ever met. Jason is one of the smartest. Michael Richards is very intense and has a true artist temperament and Julia has the greatest face on television.

EXTRApr: From Slynmc:
Question: Is Michael Richards as zany in real life as he is on the show???
SeinOHurl: He's quiet and very intense. and is one of the hardest working actors I've ever met. All the physical moves that you see Kramer perform he rehearses like a dancer.

EXTRApr: From KanaHurra:
Question: What's your fondest memory of the show?
SeinOHurl: I have two. One, when we were talking about what we were going to do after the show ended, Jerry said "in his next life he wanted to come back as me." The second one, was meeting Tom Hanks in a buffet line and he did an imitation of me!

EXTRApr: From WILDBIO1:
Question: Hey John remember the party last year and doing Jello shots?
SeinOHurl: So many people impersonate me and especially with Jello shots.
EXTRApr: From Puruskmo:
Question: When people see you on the street, do they call you Peterman?
SeinOHurl: Yes. 24 hours a day but I wonder, then, what do they call the real Peterman?
EXTRApr: From Achieve01:
Question: Do you like George Costanza?
SeinOHurl: Yes, I think he's go the toughest character on the show. George is the "common man" who always swings from the middle rung on the ladder of life.
EXTRApr: From Antemame2:
Question: What are the chances of getting a spin off series with your character?
SeinOHurl: It was being considered up until two weeks ago. It was the only character they thought of spinning off without hurting the essence of Seinfeld. But they decided against it. So Peterman will live on in print.

EXTRApr: Are you really here??
SeinOHurl: Get close to your monitor and sniff.
EXTRApr: From SILKEMOCK:
