Debra Messing appeared as Beth, the physician married to a salesman and George broke up their marriage.

The unforgettable episode with Teri Hatcher – “They’re real, and they’re spectacular”

And Jeneane Garafola as the women Jenny Steinman that Jerry gets engaged to after she saves his life and they realize they are exactly alike.

I also think it’s interesting that the bit parts in Seinfeld went on to be very successful while most of the other recurring secondary characters [Susan, Newman] didn’t do as well.

What about Bryan Cranston who played Tim Whatley and went on to be Hal in Malcom in the Middle?

Here’s a fun new Seinfeld alum spotting! The guy who captured and tortured Sayid on “Lost” last week was Pinter on “The Betrayal,” the episode that ran backwards chronologically. Pretty neat, huh?

Oh man, what a great topic! You see minor Seinfeld alums all over the place. One of the most prominent current ones is Rena Sofer, who sold George an apartment when he pretended to be a tourist from Arkansas. She’s now on “24″ as a former love interest/sister-in-law to Jack Bauer.

“Slippery Pete” (from “The Frogger” episode) is on “Prison Break” and was on Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s first post-Seinfeld sitcom, “22 Minutes With Eleanor Riggs” (an underrated show in its first, real-time incarnation). One of my favorite TV pastimes is spotting former Seinfeld bit players!
