The Jurassic Park star was reportedly leaving a workout at the gym and was believed to have been limping.
Knight is best known for his portrayal of Newman in the long-running series Seinfeld and Dennis Nedry in the 1993 original of Jurassic Park. Over the years, the actor has been candid about trying “everything anyone could ever try” to lose weight.
Wayne Knight was believed to have been limping after the gym.
The movie star told a news outlet in November 2024 that he’s tried therapy, drugs, surgery and radiation, adding, “every single one of them and one of them worked,” joking that he’d been “taken by aliens.”
The actor was asked if he’d tried “the old-fashioned way” by reducing his calorie intake, which he said did “work” for him. When asked about how much weight he’s lost from his heaviest to his current weight, he jokingly answered, “7,000 pounds.”

“No, I lose 10. I gained 50. I lose 100,” he recounted, clarifying that he’s lost 110 pounds since appearing in the Dinosaur classic film. However, he added that his weight loss has affected his job prospects in “a bad way.”
“It takes time. It takes time for people to accept you as you are, and they find out whether or not you can still do things without being fat,” he explained. “It's just what it is. You just have to accept the fact that you can't sell something that you're not.”
Wayne Knight has lost more than 100 pounds over the years.
He echoed that sentiment in a 2004 interview, when he explained that people often “act shocked” when they see the fluctuations in his body weight. Noting that he was often typecast as “the fat guy,” he was at his heaviest of 327 pounds when making Jurassic Park.
"We've got my cardiologist. We have my trainer. We have my psychiatrist. We have my support group," he told CBS News at the time. "I used to have a tan from the light in the refrigerator. I would just know there was something in there that will be the answer."
