Sponge Worthy: Coda


Today marks the conclusion of my salute to Seinfeld's sponge worth men.  In the last month I've featured actors Patrick Warburton, Brian Mcnamara, Tom Verica, John Bolger and Cary Elwes. Given Elaine had over fifty 'boyfriends' during the series run, not to mention all of the sponge worthy friends of Kramer, George and Jerry, I could have gone on for awhile.  The guys below are all guys who made the list, sponge worthy for sure, but one sponge only....

Scott Patterson

Scott Patterson
Billy: The Sponge
Season 7 (1999)

Elaine can't decide whether Billy (Patterson) is sponge worthy, but finally agree's if he shaves his sideburns and cleans his bathroom.  Patterson's appearance means both Lorelai and Luke from Gilmore Girls made appearances on the sit-com

David James Elliott 

David James Elliott
Carl: The Couch
Season 6 (1998)

I never really got the appeal of David James Elliott, he was for me, a guy my mom liked to watch on television.  I did however think he looked pretty hot as Carl, the moving guy who moves Jerry's couch into Elaine's apartment. His relationship with Elaine does't last long, when she finds out he's pro-life, she ends it quickly.


Nicholas Walker

Nicholas Walker
Glenn: The Strongbox
Season 9 (2001)

Glenn is poor, which Elaine struggle with, but his being married seals the deal.  I was going to do a main piece on actor and former Soap Hunk Nicholas Walker, but couldn't find a decent copy of the 1997 flick Amnesia.  Walker is supposed to have a nude scene in, but there was none to be found in the copy I downloaded. 


Blake Gibbons

Blake Gibbons
Lyle: The Summer of George
Season 8 (2000)

I've always thought actor Blake Gibbons had a unique but strong sex appeal, and love him as Jerry's date's roommate/boyfriend in his Seinfeld appearance.


Anthony Starke

Anthony Starke
Jimmy: The Jimmy
Season 6 (1999)

Jimmy likes working out, Jimmy likes Elaine, Jimmy likes to speak in the the third person.  That doesn't stop Elaine going on a date.  I don't blame Elaine, Jimmy was annoying, but he and Anthony Starke are pretty cute.


Dan Cortese

Dan Cortese
Tony: The Stall
Season 5 (1997)

Both George and Elaine have a crush on Tony, (Cortese).  Jerry thinks he's a mimbo, and after Tony has an accident, causing damage to his face, Elaine breaks it off realizing she was only attracted to his good looks.   If it were still the 90's, there would be tons of hot shots of Cortese to find and share, but today... not so much.


Anthony Cistaro

Anthony Cistaro
Joel: The Masseuse
Season 5 (1997)

I thought Anthony Cistaro was adorable as Joel, Joel Rifkin, the boyfriend with the same name as the famous serial killer. I didn't know Anthony was a teen idol in the late 70's after appearing with Dyan Cannon in the 1978 TV movie Lady of the House.


There were several other actors who appeared on the show who've made previous appearances on FH: They include Matt McCoy, David Naughton & Jeff Yagher. (Below)
