On “Seinfeld,” Kramer’s caddy was named Stan.
Stan appears in “The Caddy,” the 19th episode of Seinfeld’s seventh season. Played by Armin Shimerman, he is an unusually confident golf caddy who becomes Kramer’s adviser both on the course and in everyday decisions. Kramer treats Stan’s advice as a source of practical wisdom, even when the suggestions become increasingly eccentric.
The episode’s plot also involves Kramer and Newman attempting to save a golf course from developers. Kramer’s relationship with Stan provides the episode’s comic centerpiece: Stan is not merely carrying clubs, but effectively trying to manage Kramer’s life. His blunt manner and exaggerated certainty make him memorable despite appearing in only one main episode.
Viewers sometimes remember the character simply as “the caddy,” but the dialogue identifies him as Stan. The role was played by Shimerman, who was also widely known for portraying Quark on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
