Frank Costanza is too classic. Love that character. Here he talks about auditioning for Seinfeld and how he basically created the character.

I agree with the majority, Arthur gets my vote. Both are great characters tho.

Frank by a land slide margin.................... When he tears into Steinbrenner about trading Jay Buener and then leaves that voice message on Jerrys machine....that is priceless.... "jerry its frank constanza..!...!?? George Steinbrenner is here!!!!! George is Dead.... Call me back!!!!!! Or something to that effect.... Funny funny funny....... Oh yeah dont forget the MANZIERE Vs. the BRO...

Yeah, both roles are great !

Seinfeld pedigree is better than K of Q. Kevin James sucks as a stand-up, sucks in movies ( like Mall Cop). KJ only was good in KofQ.

Stiller was a great supporting actor in both series.

His Arthur character was perfect, but I'll lean to frank.

The thing is that Arthur is a ripoff of the Frank character.

both are fucking hilarious characters. similar in a way, but frank was much more angry and really yelled all the time which was great. arthur is a little more goofy and the character has a lot more depth as it's a larger role

he adds a ton to both shows though...love K of Qs but honestly dont think itd be half as good without him as arthur

I can't blame Stiller for that ! The old man just moved on to a new role. Similar= YES !

I'd put Jerry's best episodes on Seinfeld above those from the King show, but he did have more to work with on King.

Sorry to hear he passed, but hey at 92 he had a full life.

He's been around show business forever.

Goes back to Stiller& Meara, his deceased wife named Anne who played the cook on Archie Bunker's Place.

He was never a leading man like Deniro or Cruz, but a great character actor.

Naturally his unfortunate Demise will be attributed to the Chinky virus.

115 acting credits dating back to 1957, when TV was just becoming common in homes, even circa 1975 a 25" TV set was big and a piece of furniture that cost like $1,000

Now you can pick up a 50" flat screen for like $200, or less at the supermarket.
