    About Seinfeld:
    Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

    Fun fact about the doorman;
    This was actually a good friend of Jerry in real life. And was always sure that this sitcom was going to be a hit, even when the ratings were against the show (first 3 / 4 seasons) , its this friend of him that would always talk to him that 'it will be ok, hang in there, youre gonna be great'
    Before the show started Jerry also wanted him to play George Costanza, but when Jason alexander did so well in the casting, they gave it to him.

      There seemed to be a code with comedians who got their own sitcoms in the late 80's-90's, where they brought their cronies from the stand-up circuit onto the show for cameo appearances. Seinfeld threw bones to Larry Miller, Fred Stoller, Rob Schneider, Brad Garrett, Dom Irrera, Carol Leifer, Jean Karam, George Wallace, Rick Overton, et al.

      Not to be annoying but I’ve always wondered about the life of a doorman. Is it good money? And is it fun? Are there prerequisites, like working in customer service for a while? To me it seems almost mean to make someone stand there opening doors for people, but I suppose that courtesy is part of what elevates some buildings to higher class.

    Larry Miller's, Jerry's friend in real life, and the first choice to play George until Jason Alexander killed it in the audition...you can see some serious comedic chemistry here, sometimes I would like to take a peek in the alternate universe where he actually ended up playing George.

    The doorman was played by Larry Miller. He is one of Jerry's closest friends. When Jason Alexander auditioned for the role of Costanza, a bald friend, he was sure that he wouldn't get it. He auditioned anyway, and by the time he got home there was a message on his answering machine that he got the role. He asked Jerry why he didn't hire Miller, Jerry said, because you were the best, for that role.
    True professionalism!

      That guy was on 10 things I hate about you. He is a great actor but I don't think he would be right for George because he is an alpha male type.

    Larry miller who was up for the role of george I believe before they gave it to Jason, indeed Jason thought they'd give it to Larry because he was already friends with them whereas Jason was an outsider.

    Neil Flynn kind of used this doorman schtick for his janitor character on Scrubs.
