Seinfeld: The Shocking Incident That Got Elaine’s Dad Erased From the Show

Seinfeld may have been mostly about the lives of Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), Kramer (Michael Richards), and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), but it wouldn't have worked without the help of its supporting cast. Some of the best characters surrounding the core four were actually their parents. Morty (Barney Martin) and Helen (Liz Sheridan) Seinfeld were great fixtures who appeared frequently over the series' run. Babs Kramer (Sheree North) only appeared in two episodes, but her first time on Seinfeld had one of the show's most memorable moments, when fans finally learned the first name of her son when she shouted, "Cosmo!" And then, of course, there was Frank (Jerry Stiller) and Estelle (Estelle Harris) Costanza, a mother and father so insane that it's no wonder George was so messed up.

That leaves Elaine. We never meet her mother, but in one early Seinfeld episode we meet her father, a very serious man named Alton Benes (Lawrence Tierney). He has some hilarious interactions with a nervous Jerry and George in his one appearance, joining some of the best Seinfeld characters who only appeared in one episode. And although his character showed potential, he was never seen again. That had nothing to do with a creative direction, however, but with how the man behind Alton Benes, Tierney, acted behind the scenes. After one scary incident, it was decided that Tierney would never be brought back ever again.
