Actor: Wayne Knight

Wayne Knight played Newman across Seinfeld, a character originally intended for a single appearance who became a fixture purely through the delivery of a name.

Jurassic Park gives him Nedry, whose sabotage causes the entire plot, and the death sequence in the rain is one of the film’s most remembered. Basic Instinct and JFK gave him earlier film work, and he does extensive voice acting including Toy Story 2.
