Extra Extras
Some people just walked through the background once, collected a check, and went home. But not these people. These "extra" characters often had more screen-time than the regular castmembers and all were seen for most (if not all) of the seven seasons.
- Pool Boy - not the guy who showed up for all of one scene to have sex with Kimberly, but the guy who silently cleaned the pool for 7 years.
- Leafblower Man - could be Pool Boy in disguise, who knows. Same concept except this guy walks around silently with his leafblower.
- Jogging Girl With Dog - one of the silent neighbors. She has long blonde hair and a big dog and they jog by the front of the apartment complex every morning.
- Nurse Amy - she actually got lines and some character development in the last season. But she was on the show for several years as a no-name one-liner Wilshire Memorial nurse.
- Mario - works for Kyle in the restaurant of "Kyle's". Very loyal and reliable -- will drop everything at a moment's notice to help Kyle's business. Hardly ever speaks.
