This star almost got the role of Elaine on Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld has revealed that another actress almost landed the role of Elaine Benes on the hit show Seinfeld.
“You know who was close was Megan Mullally,” the American comedian told Howard Stern after he was asked which other actresses were considered for the part.
Megan is most recognised for her role as Karen Walker on Will & Grace.
She has won two Emmy Awards for her performance as Karen.
Jerry revealed that actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell was also in the running for the role.
However, Jerry knew Julia Louis-Dreyfus was meant to play Elaine as soon as she auditioned, and she starred as the character for eight years.
Recently, Jerry was asked if Seinfeld would follow in the path of other sitcoms and do a comeback.
Jerry replied, “Why? Maybe it's nice that you continue to love it instead of us tampering with something that went pretty well.”
