Kramer's friend who sells (hot dogs or roasted nuts? I believe it's hot dogs) in the park and who went on a drop-dead wish ping-pong with Kramer (that reverse-event episode with Sue Ellen's flop marriage in India):

Did FDR appear in any other episode? I suspect he did: was it him in the one where George lies to the Crosses about leasing a house in the Hamptons? There's a street scene where George is yapping nonesense to a hot dog seller and the Crosses are walking by and see George but George either doesn't see them or is pretending not to (which??) and the hot dog seller goes:"Are you going to buy a hot dog or not?": was that FDR?? And did FDR make an appearence in The Finale?? I don't remember...

Yes, but it's not known if his name was spoken in that episode.

Here's the imdb entry for the actor, Michael McShane

<http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0574540/>

# "Seinfeld" .... FDR (2 episodes, 1997-1998)
    - The Wizard (1998) TV episode .... FDR
    - The Betrayal (1997) TV episode (as Micheal McShane) .... FDR

As far as I recall, the Rosses see George, but his back is to them while yapping with FDR. Elaine rats him out later:

(from <http://seinfeld.xtreemhost.com/Scripts/TheWizard.html>)

Elaine, seeing the Rosses entering Monk's: "Oh. Mrs. Ross, Mr. Ross."

Mrs. Ross: "Oh, you're George's friend."

Mr. Ross: "We saw him in the city this weekend. Uh, what happened to his place in the Hamptons?"

Elaine, laughing uproariously: "The Hamptons? George Costanza? I, uh... I don't think so. Have a good one."

Thanks for confirming along with proof :o) I'm pretty sure his name was not spoken in The Wizard.
