"It's an odd transition. I liked the role so much I bought the company," O'Hurley said.

"The year after Seinfeld ended, the real J Peterman company went through some financial difficulties. The real J Peterman called me and said, let's put the company back together again.

"So since 1999, I've owned the J Peterman company with the real J Peterman."
