I am a fan of the movie, Bowfinger, which it says he was in, but I don't recall his role in it.

MSN and these article titles... "seinfeld star" who appeared in one episode, and breaking bad actor who was in 3 of 62 episodes... I remember his character in Breaking Bad, pretty minor even in those episodes.

Click bait. I bet most fans of Seinfeld didn't know his real name nor remember his character's name. Familiar face, yes, but "Seinfeld star"? Come on.
