1. a true comedy legend

who also turned out to be a first class dramatic actor.

2. I always thought Kramer from Seinfeld stole a lot of his physical comedy

Art Carney was a truly gifted comedian.

3. not stole

but in the same tradition. early seinfelds have a lot of honeymooners reference, notably george doing kramden's finger-snapping and hand movements.

he was born 11-4-1918.
