Jay Scott Greenspan, known professionally as Jason Alexander, was born on September 23, 1959, in Newark, New Jersey. His early life in Maplewood and Livingston, New Jersey, saw him initially drawn to magic. However, a professor at Boston University, where he studied theater, guided him towards comedy, noting his natural inclination. He left Boston University to pursue acting in New York City, making his film debut in the 1981 slasher film “The Burning.” His Broadway career began with Stephen Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along” in 1981.
Alexander’s career gained significant momentum throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He starred in commercials for brands like Hershey’s Kiss, Delta Gold potato chips, and Miller Lite beer. A pivotal moment came with his role as George Costanza in the television series “Seinfeld” (1989–1998), which earned him critical acclaim, including seven Primetime Emmy Award nominations and a Screen Actors Guild Award win in 1995. Concurrently, he appeared in film roles such as Philip Stuckey in “Pretty Woman” (1990), and voiced characters in animated features like Hugo in Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1996) and the titular Duckman in the animated series (1994–1997).
Beyond “Seinfeld” and his film work, Alexander has maintained a robust presence in theater. He won a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in “Jerome Robbins’ Broadway” in 1989. His stage work continued into the 2000s, including starring opposite Martin Short in a Los Angeles production of “The Producers” (2003-2004) and replacing Larry David in the Broadway production of “Fish in the Dark” (2015). More recently, he made his Broadway directing debut with “The Cottage” in 2023. Alexander also contributes to charitable causes, notably serving as the national spokesman for the Scleroderma Foundation and participating in celebrity poker tournaments to raise funds for organizations like the United Way of America.
