    never knew the purpose of a stand in. is it to change lighting and stuff when the actors are on break?
    Exactly. You'll recall Kramer and Mickey doing that for some soap opera.

    Jerry's stand-in appears often too, though not as often as Brenner. I don't know his name though. Here he is telling Elaine about the Muffin Top store. He also appears as a co-worker of George's when he quits his real estate job, and as a bartender when Kramer is investigating the sniffing accountant. And probably a few other times that I can't remember.

    Yeah, I think that's the first I'd ever heard of a stand in, from that episode. But I wasn't sure how accurate the show was in portraying its function.

    Okay here's my (likely incomplete) list of actors that played multiple characters. 

    Answers you guys gave:
    -Morty Seinfeld
    -Frank Costanza
    -Lloyd Braun
    -Mr. Lippman


    Some minor characters:
    -The woman that can't be with Jerry because she doesn't respect what he does (She's a cashier!) later appears as a waitress (with a much different haircut) that George goes on a date with, and tells her he likes horse manure.

    -The woman who had a baby shower and ruined George's shirt three years prior at her "performance," later appears as a saleswoman (with a much different accent) that Elaine calls "Natasha."

    -The actor that plays Jake Jarmell appeared as one of the cops in the episode where Kramer may be the Smog Strangler.

    -The woman from The Limo (kind of a cute Nazi) later appears as Poppie's daughter who won't take a bite of Jerry's pie.

    -Comedian Mario Joyner appears as a friend of Jerry's that he just saw Firestorm with, and later as Jerry's nemesis "Maroon Golf" in The Puerto Rican Day

    -One of Bette Midler's teammates who chases Jerry and George later appears as George Hamilton's personal assistant in The Wig Master.

    -Larry David has appeared both on and off-screen as multiple characters. Most notably Steinbrenner, Frank Constanza's lawyer, and as a B-movie actor carrying on about "Flaming Globes of Sigmund." 



    I know there's more, but that's all I know off the top of my head.

    You forgot the woman who not only got George fired...but dated him a few years later because looks were not important to her.

    Yeah she's on the link I posted of the ones I forgot. Can't believe I forgot that kid that Mickey was a stand-in for was earlier the kid who Paul O'Neil has to hit a homerun for.

    BRAH-VO, dude. 

    I can't believe I never made at least THIS connection:

    The woman that can't be with Jerry because she doesn't respect what he does (She's a cashier!) later appears as a waitress (with a much different haircut) that George goes on a date with, and tells her he likes horse manure.

    Must have been the voice.

    Back to the trivia, who is the only actor (outside of the main four) to appear in all nine seasons of the show? 
    I see this is was answered already, but for some reason I was thinking of this actor when you asked the question.

    There is another actor that appeared in every season but one(Season 9 by my research).

    Can anyone name him? 

    Ledbetterman10, can you give others a chance as I know you know the answer.

    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. 
    Wow, with all those episodes thought she would have appeared in the beginning.

    The first season, or at least first few episodes, it was kind of a different diner all together. There was a waitress who, I believe, they initially wanted to play the Elaine type of role.

    Just the very first episode. She was actually listed in the main cast for that one. Lee Garlington was the actress’s name. She only appears in the first scene in the diner (Pete’s….if I remember correctly) and gives George regular coffee when he wanted decaf.

    You’re right that it never lasts today. But even back then were people at NBC that thought it had no potential and should be pulled.  

    Rick Ludwin is the man to thank for Seinfeld lasting. He was the NBC executive that championed Seinfeld the most. 

    He championed Conan O’Brien too when he was struggling at first. When Ludwin died, Conan paid tribute by showing a clip of Jerry giving him props…..

    So he’s in seasons 1-8 but not season 9? Then I have no idea. I figured ya meant Uncle Leo but mistyped the season number.

    Correct(according to my research).

    This actor was mentioned in this thread not long ago.

    The actor only appeared in 29 episodes over those 8 Seasons.

    Well the only guess I could come up with is Norm Brenner, Michael Richards' stand-in that I posted a montage of yesterday. But he appears in every season, so I don't know.

    That is correct.

    But, and like I said, in my little research I haven't been able to find if he was in an episode in Season 9. I could be wrong about that?

    https://youtu.be/htLEl4v-LsU



    Hotel manager, chef, store clerk, Footlocker, English Ian, Jerry's friend Beder - these are the many faces and characters of Seinfeld's Norman Brenner.
