I noticed the guy that walks up to Pimple Popper M.D. in the restaurant and says "thank you doctor for saving my life" is the dentist in Curb Your Enthusiasm from the 'The Shrimp Incident'.
*shrug* I'm bored, what can i say. :-/

I used to take classes at Chicago's Second City, where I got to know alot of the actors. Many went to Hollywood, and a couple hit it big... but 9 of them ended up doing some kind of spot on Seinfeld (altho only 2 had any significnat lines... most were walk ons or had one line). Of those nine, I have seen five so far on Curb Your Enthusiasn (plus, Richard Kind, who never appeared on Seinfeld and was one of the actors who has done well).
I am sure this is far from a coincidence. None of the five are "name" actors, but three of them I would term "familiar faces" to regular TV watchers... people who often do guest spots or are used frequently by casting agents. Since they were all comedically trained in improv, it is logical they would end up on David's endeavor. I am sure as time goes on I will see the other 4 I've yet to see....
