Whatever you think of Seinfeld, you can’t accuse it of being an overly warm show. The characters were funny, sure, but they were never the kind of people you wanted to hug. In fact, according to The Daily Dot, there was even a “no hugging, no learning rule” set out by the show’s creators so that the characters would always be hilarious caricatures who didn’t really care about others. The actors on the show, however? They’re completely different. And they proved that once again by creating videos for a superfan dying of cancer.
The Daily Dot reports that the recipient of the videos (http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/seinfeld-fan-cancer-videos/), 67-year-old Jim Calder, loved nothing more than to watch the antics of Jerry, Elaine, Newman, and Kramer. That’s why his son and his son’s wife decided that they had to find a way to cheer Calder up right before his birthday (which was to be his last). And since the internet now makes all things possible, they began reaching out to the cast on social media, seeing if anyone would be willing to send the dying fan a heartfelt message before he succumbed to his battle with lung cancer. Almost everyone did.
