Jason Alexander
Award-Winning Star of Stage, Screen & Television; Star of Seinfeld
Jason Alexander's 9 seasons as hapless schlep George Costanza on Seinfeld have been the crowning glory to a 25-year career on stage, screen and television. But with looks that can be pitiful, sympathetic, charming, devious, and even unscrupulous--combined with an equally malleable talent--this multi award-winning actor is in little danger of being stereotyped. For his portrayal of George, Alexander has earned six Emmy and four Golden Globe nominations, an American Television Award and two American Comedy Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series. His theatrical capstone came in the award-winning Jerome Robbins' Broadway, for which he won a Tony as well as Outer Critics and Drama Desk Awards for Best Actor in a Musical. In addition to acting, Jason was nominated for a DGA Award for directing an episode of Seinfeld and he directed the independent film Just Looking. Jason refuses to be type cast and continues to seek different roles in which he can prove his versatile and broad talent.
Jason Alexander, has been dubbed by Entertainment Weekly as one of the “Best Television Sidekicks of All Time” (#3 actually, behind Robin and Tonto) for his role of George Costanza. The thoughtless, hapless, neurotic everyman that he played for nine seasons on NBC’s Seinfeld got him an American Television Award, six Emmy and four Golden Globe nominations, and two American Comedy Awards for “Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series.” Jason was named “Best Actor in a Comedy Series” by The Screen Actors Guild, despite his role as a supporting actor, and he led a TV Guide Readers and Critics Poll that named him one of the top 10 characters in TV history. Seinfeld remains the most successful half hour television series throughout the world.
Jason has been a frequent guest on every major daytime and late-night talk show. He has hosted Saturday Night Live and The 47th Annual Emmy Awards. He has played himself on The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, The Larry Sanders Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Comic Relief, The Aristocrats, celebrity roasts, improvisations, game shows, celebrity poker showdowns, and charity telethons. He is often complimented for his several appearances with host Bill Maher on the HBO series Real Time, in which he has been an articulate, outspoken, insightful and satirical advocate for progressive issues.
