I don't know if I'd call it a curse. Seinfeld is really a comedian first and an actor second. A lot of people use stand up as a way in. I think he found the success he was after and can now concentrate on his first love, stand up, as well as just live his life.

Jason Alexander may be cursed. Everytime he gets a new show, I always think it is funny. Maybe I'm the only one and thats why they all fail. But he has great comedic timing and is able to take anything and make it funny, IMO. For example, I thought Bob Patterson was great. His rivalry with William Shatner's character was great stuff. I didn't think Listen Up was that bad either.

I never really expected a whole lot from Michael Richards, because as good as he is, there is no way to avoid being typecasted after as many years he spent playing Kramer.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus was actually the only one aside from Alexander that I figured would have any post-Seinfeld success. The New Adventures of Old Christine is really pretty good.

I was on IMDB and saw a really good idea that somebody suggested: The Seinfeld Curse Box Set with The Michael Richards Show, Watching Ellie, Bob Patterson, and Listen Up. I'd buy it.

But seriously, finding success is just as good as finding success on any other stage. For some, I suppose its even more rewarding. But I do think he got hosed with his sitcoms. But then again, I may just be more easily ammused than most.
