Anyone know who played Kramer's lawyer (Jackie?)? And if he is
now in Melrose Place?

Once upon a midnight dreary

I have no idea, but I love any episode with that lawyer, he's hilarious. Well, come to think of it, I love every single episode of Seinfeld, I think it's a really unique and interesting and funny and satiric and superbly written and acted show.

Hi everyone, Isn't the character of Kramer's lawyer an obvious imitation of the sleazebag Johnnie Cochran (OJ Simpson's lawyer)?

I don't see much of a connection, other than they're both black. But then that might just be enough for a shallow mind to insult one of the lawyers who actually got OJ _aquitted_

You might not say that if you saw the episode where Kramer went up against the Oh-Henry heiress. When she tried on the bra over her top it was evident who the character was a parody of (sorry for ending a sentence with a preposition, BTW). But then again, he was for the plaintiff, not the defendent, so I guess no comparison could be made now!

Good point. Also, Johnnie Cochran...Jackie Childs. Hmmm, do you think that the fact that they have the same initials is a coincidence?

Yes, but I would say more of a spoof or parody than "imitation".

This attorney is GREAT -- I wish they would have him on again.

he used to be in the Young and the Restless, and i think his character was named Phil too. He once went under cover as a white guy.

He was also in the new series of Mission Impossible, as his father was in the original.

actually, while we are on the topic, i met him, and i am going to get as much mileage from that as possible. We don't meet many soapie celebs out here in Australia... chris
