What would you have had him do with better acting skills? The show found its groove with him having the simple character of a neurotic but successful man constantly exasperated by his wacky friends. I'm not sure the show would have been improved if they had tried to give him something more substantial to do.
Ridiculous comment. This is exactly like Eminem in 8Mile. "WOW HE SHOULD BE IN MORE FILMS!" He did well in the part cause he was just playing himself. Same with Jerry. There's a reason he doesn't act outside of Seinfeld or the occasional guest spot on the show of a friend.
The show became popular quickly enough that it didn't matter. He's bad, and they even make light of it during season 4, but not so bad it detracts from the show. Luckily legitimately every other main cast member is a 10/10 comedic actor so they carry him effortlessly.
No, after 4 is just when it exploded as a cultural phenomenon. It was already averaging almost 20 million viewers an episode over its first three seasons.
Jerry actually grew on me the more I watched the show. I like how he really can't act but he still commits to the bit whenever the others do. Plus, having another person as intense or reactive as George would get exhausting.
They were all exaggerated sitcom caricatures, he was fine
Okay, Jerry Seinfeld.
I don't know what more people could want. This ain't Shakespeare.
Because, it was HIIIIS tv show!

He was distracting.
Who needs talent when you have gnomish nepotism?
Because it didn't matter.
his shitty acting and him restraining his laughter in some scenes was funny even though he wasn't necessarily being shitty on purpose
Yeah it actually helped him be an effective straight man foil for the other three characters
because he is MY butler
>boomers laughing hysterically

Are zoomers actually too retarded to understand the humor here?
He was funny
He has a BA in theater from Queens College CUNY
BAD
>CUNY
ToT
acting is a fake job, only a tiny minority of actors have any skill to actually lose themselves in a character, no one on the show does.
He's got a billion dollars. Why don't you try giving some advice to Warren Buffet about how he could've done it better you poor slob
bootlicky cuck gay
>acting lessons
>to play himself

It literally took like 4 seasons.

Jerry was perfect. Imagine Sean Penn or John Goodman or even Tom Hanks as Jerry. Great actors, not nearly as funny.
They wouldn't be playing Jerry though, they would be playing themselves. OP is a retard and so are you
He gets much better as the seasons go on. IRL Jerry is a bit stiff and autistic himself.
Because he was a massively untalented garden gnome, but with powerful network connections. It's not what you know, it's who you know.
what acting? It's a sitcom

didn't they have a meta joke about how he can't act?
