Goodness, I happened upon our NBC affiliate's showing of the film "Pretty Woman (1990)" this evening and had quite forgotten about Phil Stuckey's slapping and attempting to have his way with Ms. Roberts. All along I had presumed that Wayne Knight had had the most previous evil roles ("Basic Instinct", Jurassic Park").
I still love his tag line in the KFC ad, "this is what I do".
pretty woman was before seinfeld, right?

I thought that sounded familiar.
George: All right. Let's go over it again, one more time.
Jerry: All right. So I tell Sandy that I want to have a m�nage � trois with her and her roommate.
George: That's right.
Jerry: And you believe this course of action will have a two-pronged effect. Firstly, the very mention of the idea will cause Sandy to recoil in disgust, whereupon she will insist that I remove myself from the premises.
George: Keep going.
Jerry: At this point, it is inevitable that she will seek out the roommate to apprise her of this abhorrent turn of events.
Geprge: Continue.
Jerry: The roommate will then offer her friend the requisite sympathy even as part of her cannot help but feel somewhat flattered by her inclusion in the unusual request.
George (taking over): A few days go by and a call is placed at a time when Sandy is known to be busy at work. Once the initial awkwardness is relieved with a little playful humor, which she [Laura] of course cannot resist, an invitation to a friendly dinner is proffered.
Jerry: Huhh. Well, it all sounds pretty good. There's only one flaw in it: They're roommates. She'd have to go out with me behind Sandy's back. She's not gonna do that.
George: You disappoint me, my friend. Sandy wants nothing to do with you. She tells Laura, "If you want to waste your time with that pervert, that's your problem."
Jerry: It's a perfect plan. So inspired. So devious. Yet so simple.
George (sticking his finger in the peanut butter jar}: This is what I do.
Dave (don't Jerry and Larry own 'George Costanza'?)
