I was George Costanza on the TV series Seinfeld. But I was a very busy and very versatile actor since the 1980s, beginning in children's theater and TV commercials. I received early breaks when cast in the telepic Senior Trip! and the slasher film The Burning. Where I really began making headway, though, was in the theater, where my singing voice and quirky, charisma made me a good choice as a stage producer for the unfortunately unsuccessful Stephen Sondheim musical, Merrily We Roll Along. Other Broadway shows included Kander and Ebb's The Rink, a musical co-starring Liza Minnelli and Chita Rivera, and Neil Simon's autobiographical play Broadway Bound.I kept busy, though, returning frequently to the theater and racking up small movie roles in Peter Weir's The Mosquito Coast and Adrian Lyne's Jacob's Ladder. Seinfeld and my Tony Award-winning turn in a variety of roles including Tevye the milkman from Fiddler on the Roof and Pseudolus from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum in the Broadway revue Jerome Robbins' Broadway really established me. Also a key supporting role as a sleazy lawyer in the smash Pretty Woman finally cracked the feature film barrier as well.Despite my appearance, I was one of the busiest actors on the large and small screens. I played the lead in the sleeper I Don't Buy Kisses Anymore and appeared as one of the biological parents in North. The plum role of George Costanza on Seinfeld allowed me not only the greatest career exposure but also a superb showcase for my considerable comedic talents, ranging from the playing of broad physical comedy to embodying basic yuppie idiosyncrasies of the 90s.
