Hi all,

i could have sworn that the holistic healer in that episode was played by that guy from The Kids in the Hall (the guy with the dark curly hair; don't know his name). Since this wasn't teh guy what episode am I thinking of? Thanks.

That guy from Kids in the Hall played tyhe carachter of Denim Vest that Elaine gave her standard fake to. He played a holistic healer on an episode of Friends. Scott Padulsky wrote in message news:[email]...

Thank you! I was confusing the character he played on Friends.

Are you speaking of Kevin McDonald?? (I believe that's his name???) It's not him. I'm pretty sure that the character that played the healer wasn't on K.I.T.H...

Came into this strring late, but there was a whacked-out holistic healer on an early season of "Seinfeld" played by Steven Tobolowsky.

No, the healer, Tor Eckman was played by Steven Tobolowsky.

67 movies and 20 TV appearances. This guy gets around, but what I remember him most from is "Groundhog Day".

"Ned? Ned Ryerson? Needlenose Ned? Ned the Head? C'mon buddy!"

And this leads in nicely to the "Favorite scenes by extras" thread. I think that the scene at Eckman's house was one of the funniest in the entire run of Seinfeld. Tor's hand gestures, his don't use hot water/eating too much dairy remarks, Jerry's "you're not a doctor but you play one in real life" line, the crampbark, couchgrass, cleaver bit, leading up to George's "I'm an eggplant!!" It never fails to crack me up. By the time the ambulance driver says "I didn't take his Chuckle, man!" I'm still giggling.

I remember him most as Werner Brandes in "Sneakers"...

By non-main-characters, or in general? Off the top of my head, the two funniest long-running scenes (in my opinion of course) in the entire run are Kramer's description of the bus hijacking in "The Fire," and the JFK parody re-enactment of the spitting incident in "The Boyfriend."

The JFK parody was BRILLIANT - it came right out of Oliver Stone's film JFK. And the really funny part was that Wayne Knight played "Numa" in the film and stood in exactly the same position for Kevin Costner as he did as "Newman" for Jerry when he re-enacted the magic bullet (luggie) theory.
