There's a movie on YT, The Fat Man-- the leading man is fat and has moves.

Larry David originally played Newman. It was a voice only role. When he decided to make Newman a recurring character and hired Wayne Knight, they dubbed in Wayne's voice for that first appearance.

Boy, if anyone ever left their mark on the 1990's, it was Wayne Knight. Between being the most iconic side character on the most iconic sitcom ever and perhaps the most popular show of the 90's, Jurassic Park, Space Jam, and Toy Story 2, Wayne Knight was a 90's icon for real.

[@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295]

Newman should have become a regular after the first few seasons.

[@NinjaNuggets21]

He was supposed to be like an anime protagonist, so the audience could live vicariously through him and see themselves in the show, experiencing the richness of the other characters.

[@coolcoconuts4453]

He's always been a writer, never an actor. He was the big name that got the show going and was never really more than just the anchor that held everything in place so that these phenomenal actors could work magic with his and Larry's writing

[@YD-uq5fi]

The fact that such an iconic character was only on screen for all of 20 minutes (15 of which is here), is really something.

The funniest thing about Newman as a character is overhyping the mail system making it sound like some secret society that could accomplish anything.
