Some shows have transcended others in terms of repeat viewing. I remember Dermot Mulroney said nothing has made him more recognizable than his appearance on Friends, despite all his movies.

I was watching an old Seinfeld episode today www.imdb.com/title/tt0697697/

Featuring Veanne Cox who has been in many shows and movies

If you watch Seinfeld, if I say the pinky toe episode you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about without having to look it up.

What are some other examples of characters being so memorable despite being a once off role? I’ve always wondered how these actors/actresses feel about it, in hindsight how memorable their character became from just another day at work amongst many decades of work.
