Yep, Lloyd is one. There's a few more. Both major characters, and very minor characters.

Wasn’t Frank Costanza originally a different actor then reshot with Jerry Stiller?

Vitalogensia

Mr. Lippman was played by two different actors.

Back to the trivia, who is the only actor (outside of the main four) to appear in all nine seasons of the show? 

Newman?

that was my first thought. Probably too obvious. My next guess was George's parents, but that again is probably too obvious.

Now kinda looking at the answer (after looking at minor characters on wikipedia)  makes sense.

maybe my guess/answer is wrong then...

Yep. That original version is only available now on the DVDs. 

Vitalogensia said:

Yep. And I thought this might be a tough one because the orginal Lippman only appears briefly and is pretty forgettable.

There are a few more that I know of. Minor characters. I'll list them later if nobody gets them. Frankly, there's probably more than I even know but I know a couple. 




Now this one doesn't really count, but it's a good little piece of trivia. For the Non-Fat Yogurt episode, they shot two versions; one where Rudy wins and one where Dinkins wins. In the Dinkins version, available on the DVD, a spokeman for Dinkins talks about how he only eats non-fat yogurt. The spokesman was played by Phil Morris who later played Jackie Chiles.

According to wikipedia this character has appeared in over 100 episodes so i'm guessing they were probably in all nine seasons. The cashier from Monk's Cafe?

You're right that it's Ruthie Cohen, the cashier at the Monk's, but she doesn't appear until like season 3 or 4.

I know Frank was one, but I never saw the original actor as they reshot his scenes for syndication

Correct but they've already been said, so you don't win the Waterpik

Steinbrenner

Yeah good point. Played by Lee Bear, and voiced by Larry David. That's two actors. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Lippman was played by two?

Ledbetterman10

Yep, here's the original Lippman. Season 3 I believe....

I actually said Steinbrenner not because of that, I thought that he had been either voiced by two different actors, or played by two, at one point. I guess that was a "correct" guess by incorrect means. 

Ledbetterman10

Correct is correct. Doesn’t matter how ya got there. 

Later I’ll post my list of minor characters played by the same actor if nobody gets them. But I have to pay tribute to Norman Brenner. He was Michael Richard’s stand-in who appeared frequently. Most notably as “Eeen.”

HughFreakingDillon

OH MY GOD MY WIFE AND I USE EEN EVERY SINGLE TIME WE MEET AN IAN. LOL

HughFreakingDillon

never knew the purpose of a stand in. is it to change lighting and stuff when the actors are on break?
