    The hilarious and incredibly talented Jason Alexander (Seinfeld, Pretty Woman) joins this week to discuss his evolution going from an ambitious stage actor to pursuing a comedic career and landing the most popular sitcom of all time, Seinfeld.
    Jason and I discuss the stresses and anxiety of working on a Broadway production and how people in that profession have to manage an uber structured and stressful lifestyle.
    We also discuss his favorite moments on Seinfeld, the shock of landing Pretty Woman with Richard Greer and Julia Roberts, and what life has been like for his peers and family post-Seinfeld.

    Sometimes I randomly wonder if Rosenbaum knows how talented he is. Michael, you are a great actor and a great writer and you are hilarious! Your one of those personalities that someone can just listen to and enjoy. Love hearing your stories from smallville like the ones you’ve told at different conventions, always so funny. Even if the regular person only remembers you from smallville that’s ok because you killed it man. Greatest Lex of all time. A lot of people will only ever remember Jason as George and that’s ok because he did an amazing job and George is probably the funniest sitcom character ever. Don’t ever feel down about something like that. So many people will forever hold you as the greatest at playing one of the biggest comic book characters of all time. We love Rosey!

    Wow, what an episode! Without a doubt my favourite episode of the show. I found myself surprised at what a cool guy Jason is and wondered why I wasn’t expecting him to be like that. I then realised that in my head I expected him to be more like the Jason Alexander character in Curb!

  • @SouthCountyGal
    @SouthCountyGal Před 2 lety

    Jason Alexander has such a deft touch in interviews that you don't even notice the time slipping away. And so grounded! Maybe it's because he's really a theater guy and not mired in the culture of the west coast movie industry. He's humbly appreciative of the great talents he has worked with, while neither downplaying nor explicitly bringing up his own stellar caliber of talent. He compliments performers whose work he admires without expecting reciprocity, which is an attitude I see often among big names; as if they'd be giving some piece of their ego away with the praise.
    And I LOVE that when he talks about his wife, she's the same wife no matter what year he's discussing. Their closeness and solid partnership is evident.
    Michael talks frequently about his difficulty with memorizing lines. Obviously he feels it's a weakness in his job performance, and I wonder if it's a holdover from when he perceived himself as less intelligent or capable back in school. He is less than two years younger than me, which means he was going through school at a time when ADHD was just becoming an official diagnosis and there was very little academic support for these differently wired kids. All the things parents can advocate for the school to provide -- like extra time and isolation for tests, line readers, using friendlier fonts -- came long after he got out of there. Chances are that like my younger brother and many other kids, teachers viewed him as a behavior problem or at best a smart kid who refused to work to his potential. Nothing pisses off a teacher more than when a smart student who does not appear to have learning obstacles fucks around instead of just doing assignments.
    I wonder also if he has some of the reading cognition challenges that usually accompany ADD/ADHD. My two kids have attention deficit issues; both take fooooreeeever to read anything. My younger one says that the first and last letters in words behave themselves but the ones in the middle jump all over the place. The older one doesn't experience that, but the comprehension takes a lot longer if she reads something than if she hears it out loud.Then there's my nephew, who just can't hang around long enough to read the end of a sentence. My brother couldn't write one. All four of them have IQs over 165. It's not about being smart!
    At any rate, Michael, if you're still struggling with this, A) let go of the idea that it means you are inferior, and B) take a look at some of the accommodations being made in academia for people with ADD. You might find a few that make your work easier.

    Also wanted to say that I agree with Jason Alexander's comments about Michael's talent. What captured me immediately about his performance in Smallville is the way he conveys vulnerability in the early episodes (I have not gotten far in the series, didn't start til recently). It's not in his lines or blocking, but his eyes are eloquent.

My 50th surprise birthday party had Seinfeld trivia where they challenged anyone of my friends / family to take me on in 20 questions. Nobody beat me. "Coooostanza" is my favorite character on the show. The Summer of George, The Play Now, The World's Collide are my favorite episodes. The Andrea Doria where George tells the tails of Costanza, come on! The old guy didn't have a chance against the "Lord of the Idiots." Well play Jason...well played!
