John O'Hurley stars in "Village People," a comedy series in development for ABC Family.
O'Hurley was one of the celebrity contestants in the debut season of ABC's ballroom competition series "Dancing with the Stars" in 2005. He and his professional dancing partner Charlotte Jørgensen were the runner-ups, losing out in the end to Kelly Monaco and Alec Mazo.
You know him as J. Peterman — the charismatic catalogue king on Seinfeld — but long before that, actor John O'Hurley was a dyed-in-the-wool
Ironically, O'Hurley got the original call to do "Seinfeld" (a job he didn't want to take!) just hours after ABC pulled the plug on his short-lived baseball sitcom, "A Whole New Ballgame," co-starring Corbin Bernsen. Thank God, he let his manager talk him into accepting that five-minute "Seinfeld" gig. Pompous, safari-helmeted Peterman (who always sounded like Rudyard Kipling wrote his dialogue) turned into a riotous, four-season romp for O'Hurley — and changed his life. No, it became his life.
Since then, the canny businessman/actor has managed to parlay his Peterman success into a string of toga-strutting Xerox commercials and a ton of other deals. He now hosts two different shows in syndication: "To Tell the Truth" five times a week and "Get Golf with the PGA Tour" on Sunday mornings. He also owns a piece of the real J. Peterman Company and helps them market everything from Fort Knox sunglasses and Russian Navy shirts to vintage 1903 men's cologne.
By his own admission, O'Hurley spends so much time in airplanes (307 days last year, to be exact) that he probably has enough frequent flyer miles to go to Neptune and back.
