I saw Kenny Kramer recently on Judge Judy - I forget what about. I also saw a real George Costanza in the newspaper - he wanted some money he said he was promised from Jerry. What about Elaine? Is there a site that tells you a bit about the real-life characters? How many are based on real people?

A real life George Costanza? Would that be in name only, then? -- I'm pretty sure George is based on Larry David.
Ah, never mind. I found this:

The Costanza guy is pretty stupid to sue Jerry fore something as stupide as that! and it proves what a friend of mine once ced:"There is al little Gerge in all of us." By the way I think I have seen enough people in my days who could play roles in the pilot as loock alikes. Even Newman!!

I believe that the Michael Costanza who was threatening to sue was also the same Michael Costanza who had a role playing the truck driver in "The Parking Spot". I may be wrong, but that is what I always assumed. If I am right though, strange how he starred in the show then threatened to sue.

Michael Costanza and Jerry were friends from school, and Jerry invited Michael to California to be in an episode. A few years later, by the time 'being George' had screwed up his life, he decided to sue. I think he was hoping for a small settlement, a pittance from Jerry to acknowledge all he had contributed to George's backstory, but the gambit failed and he ended up looking like a crackpot. It's a shame. He was a good guy and deserved better than that.
