Thank you thank you thank you for saying that. It was driving me crazy and I knew I’d seen him somewhere. Excellent answer
Our local ABC affiliate just showed this episode the other night! It’s the Junior Mint episode, too! They played the the commercial during the episode. It was 1993, I believe! Ironic!
I just saw this one for the first time a few minutes ago, and that’s exactly who I thought of: Richard Moll. Got on the Google machine to see if anyone else thought it was him, and found this page. Turns out it’s Sherman Howard.
His name is Sherman Howard according to Geico. I was happy to see others thought it was Richard Moll too. My husband looked at me like I was crazy.
He’s been in a Seinfeld episode.
Sherman Howard – Seinfeld… Elaine’s boyfriend Roy who she dumped because he was fat. She visited him in the hospital and saw he had slimmed down. Then she was attracted to him
It is Sherman Howard. His wife is an actor, also. Her name is Donna Bullock. They did a commercial together a few years ago. I can’t remember what they were advertising – maybe a credit card – I just remember them dancing. Donna & I were in college together.
Who is the fisherman??? Looks and sounds like Bull from Night Court!
I agree. I’ve been looking everywhere for confirmation.
Sherman Howard is the actor, discovered because of a Seinfeld episode
I knew it! It’s Roy the triangle artist!

Thanks. It would have driven me crazy.
Yes. I thought he looked like the guy Elaine dated who lost weight and ended up in the hospital
“The Junior Mint”
Sherman Howard is kind of a genius, an amazing actor. Watch him playing “Bub”, the domesticated zombie in DAY OF THE DEAD.
