Jason Alexander was the perfect actor for George Costanza, even if he didn't totally understand who the 'Seinfeld' character was.
Though Seinfeld came to an end long ago, the series still lives on a quarter of a century later in syndication and streaming as if it never left us. It's a timeless series, with its quirky and selfish characters becoming more relatable with time. Cosmo Kramer was more than just the stereotypical sitcom wacky next-door neighbor. He was a kinetic ball of energy, bouncing off the walls and saying whatever crossed his mind.
The role of George Costanza was the hardest to cast. You would think it would be because Larry David had a hard time settling on who was best to play someone based on him, but that wasn't the case. Seinfeld couldn't find their George because some wouldn't say yes. During a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, Jason Alexander talked about the many soon-to-be and then big name actors who were looked at to play George.
Jason Alexander Imitated Woody Allen in His Audition With Seinfeld unable to find their George Costanza through traditional acting auditions, they took a different route. Jason Alexander told Howard Stern, "They called a casting director and said, 'Just put some theater actors on tape.'" Alexander had some minor success in the '80s, doing theater, some notable commercials, and even having a solid supporting role in the '80s slasher cult classic The Burning.
Jason Alexander Realized George Costanza Is Based on Larry David Early on in Seinfeld's Season 1 run, the show was different from what we know and love. Jerry's apartment looks a little different, and so does the diner. There's no Elaine at first, Kramer is called Kessler, and someone else plays Jerry's dad. Another difference is with George. He does feel like Woody Allen with his manner of speech. The neurotic tendencies are there, but George is more subdued.
