Breaking Character
Seinfeld, one of the most iconic sitcoms in television history, is known for its quick wit, relatable characters, and unforgettable catchphrases. But what many fans may not know is that behind the scenes, the cast and crew were often laughing just as much as the audience. Jerry Seinfeld, in particular, was notorious for breaking character and cracking up during scenes, often causing his co-stars to follow suit.
Despite the need for frequent retakes and reshoots, the cast of Seinfeld embraced the lighthearted atmosphere on set. Bloopers and outtakes were a regular feature of the show, with many of the funniest moments coming from the actors’ genuine reactions to each other’s performances. The result was a show that felt authentic, relatable, and – most of all – incredibly funny.
