Wayne Is Awesome!

10

By MikeAdams, Mar 27, 2013

Wayne Knight was my favourite character on Seinfeld! Use to love it when he'd smoke a cigarette & look so KQQL!

Think I saw him on old "Night Gallery" from the mid 70's, once!

One of the funniest commediants ever.

By frosty_ice, Jan 10, 2010

Wayne Knight is better known for his character Newman in Seinfeld, but is roles over the years have given him a large number of fans who support all of his works. Aside from Seinfeld, most people know him for his portrayal of Dennis Nedry in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, and for his portrayal of Stan Podolak, alongside Michael Jordan, Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes. These two roles made him one of the best comediants and drama actors that ever existed.

Without a doubt, an actor who knows how to entertain, and how to make us laugh with his jokes and comments.moreless
