He was always a great addition to the cast. His comedic timing and delivery were so fantastic. It's been a pleasure to watch him all these years. RIP you comedy legend.

It's kind of interesting how he got the part in the first place.
I guess Mr. Costanza was originally written to be a more meek individual who kind of just took all of wife's yellings. Stiller decided that wasn't funny (and that he would shortly get canned) so during rehearsal he decided to yell back and thus the Mr. Costanza we know today was born!

His role as Ben Stiller's dad in Heartbreak Kid was simply perfect.

During the 00's, VH1 had all those weird I Love the 80's, I love the 70s, I love the 90s shows...just basically pop culture reviews of the decades. Jerry and his wife made many appearances, especially in the 70s one.
They were a very cute couple |

I didn't know until today that another actor played Frank Costanza is his first appearance. Jerry's father was replaced as well (they wanted someone who was grumpier), but the original Morty Seinfeld still showed up in syndication. They actually re-shot the original Frank Costanza's scene with Jerry Stiller for syndication. The original guy, John Randolph was an accomplished stage actor and Tony Award winner, but he was a little too old, and well, just wasn't Jerry Stiller, who they wanted from the beginning and who was then available.

Wasn't that the father from Christmas Vacation?
