The show was also built on it's numerous ,quirky, supporting characters such as the Soup Nazi, J. Peterman, and Newman. Let's get to know these characters and the actors/actresses that played them.

The People in the Neighborhood
Seinfeld is one of the most successful television shows of all time and largely due to the "Fab Four" of Jerry Seinfeld , Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, and Michael Richards. Another piece of the Seinfeld success puzzle was the many supporting and onetime characters who were just as or more quirky than the main characters. I don't think there is another show that has the amount of supporting characters that connected so well with the viewing audience. When talking about old shows most can remember just the main players. When talking about Seinfeld it is easy to come up with names like Newman, The Soup Nazi, and J. Peterman. I believe this is what puts Seinfeld on a different level when talking about the great tv shows of all time.
