Jason Alexander, born Jason Scott Greenspan, is a widely recognized name in the entertainment industry. Born on September 23, 1959, in Newark, New Jersey, he grew up with an early love for acting. This passion was refined at Boston University, but he left two years into his degree to focus on his acting career. His journey began with work in commercials, and Alexander soon found himself landing significant roles in Broadway productions. Most notably, Alexander's talent shone bright in the Broadway musical Jerome Robbins' Broadway, earning him a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical. However, it is his role as George Costanza in the iconic television show, Seinfeld, that catapulted him to worldwide fame. For nine seasons, from 1989 to 1998, Alexander's portrayal of the neurotic and comical character delighted audiences and critics alike. His performance earned him multiple nominations for Primetime Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. Beyond his famous role in Seinfeld, Alexander has had an extensive career in film, television, and stage. He has lent his voice to animated features such as Duckman and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, exhibited his directing skills in episodes of popular shows including Everybody Hates Chris and Mike & Molly, and shared his talent on stage in productions like The Producers.
