Wayne Knight is a versatile actor known for his diverse array of characters on stage, film, and television. Born in Cartersville, Georgia, Knight initially attended the University of Georgia but left to join The Barter Theatre Company, where he honed his professional acting skills.

Upon securing his union card, Knight relocated to New York City to embark on his Broadway career with his debut in the award-winning play “Gemini.” He has also graced the Broadway stage in productions such as “Mastergate,” “Art,” “Sweet Charity” with Christina Applegate, and "Elf."

In 1992, Knight starred in the classic noir thriller Basic Instinct as John Correli. Following his acclaimed performance in Basic Instinct, he secured a role in Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park as Dennis Nedry. This role led to his nomination for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Television has also been a significant part of Knight's career. His portrayal of the character Newman in NBC's hit comedy “Seinfeld” garnered considerable recognition, and he reprised this role in the seventh season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
