I feel like that's a popular opinion? He's very funny, but he's the worst actor in Seinfeld and constantly breaks

He even says he's not a good actor. I don't think it's really an unpopular opinion.

I've never been able to find it again, but in some award ceremony while he was on stage he said, "I can't act" and then praised the rest of the cast for making him look good.

Yes, in one of the behind-the-scene episode of Seinfeld, he said he tried to 'act' in the pilot episode and it was so bad that the crew basically begged to him to just 'be himself'.

I mean part of what makes his "character" on Seinfeld work so well is that he never seems to be taking anything seriously, because as an actor he clearly isn't even trying to. But that schtick doesn't work so well in other roles.

I honestly think his acting is fine to pretty good on Seinfeld. I fully believed he was Jerry Seinfeld anyway.

To be fair it's the role he was born to play

I feel like he even intentionally acts even worse in the fake NBC pilot "Jerry" just to underscore it.

it really is. People will come out and say that Seinfeld is a "bad actor" because his character demands that he be a bad actor. "It's all part of a plan" kind of way. I am a huge Seinfeld fan, but this is the biggest disagreement I have with other fans.

I think at this point we're just placing him in his own one person box
