Hey. I just saw who I think plays Mimi on the Drew Carey Show on a rerun of Seinfeld. It was the one where they parked in the handicapped space and people were going to beat up on the car (I think it was Jerry's car, not sure.) She looks really different without blue eyelids!

You are right. Kathy Kinney (Mimi) played the bystander and according to her bio, she's a blonde, 5'4", blue eyes, celebrates her birthday on November 3, and her birthplace is Stevens Point, Wisconsin (pop. 23,000).

That was George's father's car. The police came to his house and arrested him as hhe was receivinh an award for helping the handicapped. This was the first father, not Jerry Stiller.

That was Jerry Stiller, all right! We saw him yelling at George about wrecking the car! It was definitely him. Michael Alexander

What other currently bigtime actors or actresses were not so bigtime actors on Seinfeld but went on to better things after?

Like Terri Hatcher was not a big deal, was Jerry's girlfriend, then went on to Lois and Clark. And Mimi from Drew Carey was a angry mobish woman Jerry talked to when George parked in a handicapped spot and the wheelchair lady injured herself as a result.

Anymore I'm missing?

I've been thinking the same thing. Here's as many I can think of:

Teri Hatcher ("The Implant", Lois And Clark) Kathy Kinney ("The Handicap Spot", Drew Carey), plus another one that I can't remember their name Jane Leeves ("The Virgin", Frasier) Paula Marshall ("The Outing", Chicago Sons) Andrea Parker ("The Contest", The Pretender) Kathy Griffin ("The Doll"(?), Suddenly Susan) Maggie Jakobson (she changed her last name when she got married) ("The Fix-Up", Friends)

Plus many more...

Kramer saw Jon Voight, as a matter of fact, Jon Voight bit Kramer, remember? and then they tried to match the teeth marks to the pencil found in the glove compartment of the LeBaron. MJ

David Letterman was on an episode this season as himself. Does that count?

It seems to me that way back when Seinfeld started getting really popular it was a unique thing for an actor to do a cameo on his show...as I understand it they practically lined up to do it. the hermit

Don't forget the virgin Jerry lost to that Kennedy guy... and now she plays Frasier's live-in maid on Frasier!

Did anyone mention Cary Elwes(Princess Bride, Hot Shots). He and his wife/girlfriend broke up and Jerry and Elaine tried to move in on them.

I don't know about you, but that lady drives me up the wall! She isn't even an actoress, she is the same in person too! Wasn't she a comedian first? If so, that explaines it. Jerry does a good job of "acting"(after all, he is acting himself)..dont' you ever notice Jerry's tiny smerk sometimes when it doesn't belong there!? So falling outta the scene is really the only thing that I can see that needs improvement from him, acting wise. That lady..god I can't stand her.

I'm not sure if she was Susan's old roommate or not...She was the girl that messed up Jerry's act on the Charles Grodin show by instead of bringing up the barbeque sauce that was shaped like Charles Grodin's head bought some other sauce that she thought was "much funnier." She also messed up another act because instead of bringing Susan's doll that looked like George's mom, she bought another doll she thought was "much funnier".

I forgot about Jon Lovitz. He plays a character, whose name I don't remember, that has people believing that he has cancer and Jerry is pissed when he finds out that this guy doesn't really have cancer.

Actually, John Randolph originally played George's father in that episode. When the episode went into syndication, the scenes featuring him were reshot with Jerry Stiller playing the role (it's true!). Personally, I think it's kind of stupid because 1) There was a different actor who played Jerry's father in an episode of the first season, and his scenes weren't reshot with the actor who currently plays Jerry's father, and 2) It's almost like a syndication cut (i.e. it alters the way the episode was originally shown).

In another example, Larry David was the voice of Newman (he didn't make an appearance) in an episode before Wayne Knight played the character. In later episodes, so I've heard, that voice was replaced with Wayne Knight's voice.

Thank You for this message. I thought I was the only one who saw the original episode

Originally it was not, but those scenes were reshot with Stiller for the syndicated episodes.

Umm... looked like him to me. There was another father?
