OT: Best Sitcom Character Actors of All Time

[ClifSpliffy]

Curious as to why the source inspiration matters to you. Every character is inspired by something/someone. Funny that he started doing a Woody Allen impression and then moved to a Larry David impression. I think it's also ironic that George did a far better job "playing" Larry David than Larry does in Curb. Just my opinion, of course.

The amazing part about Seinfield's cultural impact nowadays is how many younger people say Seinfieldisms without knowing it came from Seinfield. There's a video on YouTube where a guy shows a group of 18-21 year olds a bunch of famous Seinfield clips and most of the kids are shocked that the saying came from Seinfield.

From yada, yada, yada to double-dipper to regift to Festivus. The list is absurd. I don't know that any other show has come close to the lasting cultural impact.

Kramerica! they should change the name of dat show to 'a guide to everyday life' cuz it is.
re-gifting, manhands, low-talker, anti-dentite, no soup for u, not that theres anything wrong with that, serenity now, soup nazi, hoochie mama, the sea was angry that day my friends, gotta see the baby, they're real and they're spectacular, can't spare a square, moops, stella, jerkstore, .... shrinkage! am I crazy, or am I just so sane that I blew your mind?

Bill Daily. The greatest nutty neighbor in TV history.

He first stint as a nutty neighbor was as astronaut Major Roger Healey on "I Dream of Jeannie."

He folllowed that as Howard Borden another great nutty neighbor role on "The Bob Newhart Show." Borden was eternally jet lagged because of his job as an airplane navigator, which also served an an excuse for his bizarre behavior. Daily played the foil flawlessly for Newhart, incredible chemistry.

He was always the funniest thing on any show he appeared.
