The Neighbor Who Slides Through Doors

Cosmo Kramer, played by Michael Richards, is Jerry's neighbor across the hall in Seinfeld, which aired from 1989 to 1998. He lives in apartment 5B and bursts into Jerry's apartment with sudden sliding entrances that audiences cheered. Richards won three Emmys for the role.

Kramer rarely holds a regular job but always has schemes, from Kramerica Industries to a coffee table book about coffee tables. For years he was simply Kramer, until his first name, Cosmo, was revealed in season 6.

The character was inspired by Kenny Kramer, a real neighbor of co-creator Larry David. Kenny later ran a Seinfeld reality bus tour in New York, cashing in on his fame, a story that echoes a plot in the show itself.
