How many of the Fridays cast actually has made it to Seinfeld, in one way, shape, or form? Has the amazing Blankfield ever done a cameo, or voiceover, on Seinfeld? (Or maybe he never really got along with Larry David?)

It appears that Blankfield, John Roarke (who did the best Reagan impersonation on TV during that time) and Rich "Sniglets" Hall are the only "Fridays" regulars that never made it to a guest appearance on Seinfeld. For what it's worth, Rich Hall is the only performer who was on "Fridays" and "SNL."
As much as I love the adorable Melanie Chartoff, the best ex-"Fridays" guest spot has to be Bruce Mahler's deliberate-speaking, loose-lipped rabbi, who blabbed to neighbors about Elaine's loneliness. Those who watched "Fridays" also remember his martial-artist rabbi schtick ("MATZOI!")
Now...the "amazing Blankfield?" To me, the amazing thing about Blankfield is that he was the only member of the cast to get a movie--that is, if you can call "Jekyll and Hyde...Together Again" a movie. What an abomination. At least, for example, Greg Kinnear's movies are just dull--"Jekyll" was a sophomoric monstrosity that suggests the cocaine-and-sex culture the movie lampooned was well researched by the fillmmakers.
