Newman is a recurring character and occasional antagonist on the television show ''Seinfeld'', portrayed by Wayne Knight from 1991 until the show's finale in 1998. ''TV Guide'' included him in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.〔Bretts, Bruce; Roush, Matt; (March 25, 2013). "Baddies to the Bone: The 60 nastiest villains of all time". ''TV Guide''. pp. 14 - 15.〕 ==Background== Newman lived in apartment 5F, which was directly down the hall from Jerry's apartment, 5A. However, there were many inconsistencies regarding who lived in 5E. In the Season 7 episode "The Engagement", Newman's apartment is 5E. In the Season 9 episode "The Strong Box", long after Newman's character was established, another man, named Phil, is seen entering 5E. Newman was created as a counterpoint to the Jerry character, though the reason for their animosity is never revealed. Seinfeld once described Newman as Lex Luthor to his Superman.〔 Knight has described him as "pure evil,"〔 as did Jerry (in the episode "The Big Salad"): :Elaine: "Perhaps there's more to Newman than meets the eye." :Jerry: "No, there's less." :Elaine: "It's possible." :Jerry: "No, it isn't. I've looked into his eyes. He's pure evil." :Elaine: "Maybe he's an enigma. A mystery wrapped in a riddle." :Jerry: "Yeah. He's a mystery wrapped in a Twinkie." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newman (Seinfeld)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
