10 Best TV Characters Who You Never Actually Got To See

Almost everyone can say that they've got one of those friends. The oddball buddy who's so bizarre practically every story you tell of them sounds like a comedian wrote it. Well, in the sitcom world, that kind of friend needs to go beyond even the antics of the leads, which probably explains the wackiness of Bob Sacamano.

Throughout Seinfeld, Kramer would make references to a friend who seemed to have the weirdest life imaginable. These stories ran the gambit from him being in a mental institution to contracting rabies to selling replica Russian hats. It seemed Bob had a life well-lived.

Again, the mystery behind this character made the joke even funnier. You never once got the chance to see him, which led to a wild/erratic energy that left him feeling like a phantom. His grip on the show was hilarious, thanks to how much he seeped into the lives of these characters without ever showing his face.

Larry Charles opened up about this character and admitted that he was actually based on a real-life friend. It seems that life imitates art, and it's safe to say the real Bob Sacamano must be an interesting person.
