Tim Whatley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Tim Whatley is a fictional character on the American sitcom Seinfeld. He is played by Bryan Cranston.
Whatley is a recurring character, and appears as Jerry's dentist.
In "The Yada Yada," Whatley converts to Judaism, and Jerry expresses to Whatley's Catholic priest in a confession booth his belief that Whatley has done this solely for right to make jokes (which offends him, not as a Jewish person, but as a comedian). Also in this episode, Kramer coins the phrase "anti-dentite."
Whatley briefly dates Elaine.
Whatley was branded as a "re-gifter" in the episode "The Label Maker," when he gives a label maker to Jerry as a gift because Jerry gave him Super Bowl tickets, when Elaine realizes that it's the same label maker Elaine had given to him as a gift for not charging her for dental work.
In "The Jimmy," Whatley irks Jerry by having Penthouse magazines in his waiting room and by possibly touching him inappropriately while he was unconscious during a tooth filling.
