Love him or hate him, one of the most famous characters to ever grave television screens was Wayne Knight’s infamous portrayal of Kramer’s long-time friend, and Jerry’s mailman/nemesis, Newman.
“Hello Newman.”
From his villain-like schemes, to his general hatred of Jerry and George, Newman was known for assisting Kramer and his many ideas multiple times Newman was also known for his odd claims regarding the postal service. When Kramer wanted to cancel his mail service he told him “Nobody really needs mail” and “When you control mail, you control information”. Psychotic huh?
Here’s something you may not know. In Season 2’s “The Revenge”, Newman was actually played offscreen by series creator/writer Larry David in a voice only role. Later versions replaced David’s voice with Wayne Knight and in some copies both versions are available to watch.
