Biography[]
Born Jay Scott Greenspan in Newark, New Jersey, he attempted to work as a magician and a classical actor before moving to New York, making his Broadway debut in Merrily We Roll Along, the same year he made his first screen appearance. While he established himself as stage actor in both musical and comic productions, Alexander found his greatest recognition playing George Costanza in Seinfeld.
Alexander appeared in a number of television series including Curb Your Enthusiasm and Star Trek: Voyager as well as films such as Pretty Woman and Shallow Hal. He also voiced the character of Hugo in Disney's animated adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Singing[]
Alexander appeared in a large number of Broadway musicals and singing roles in both films and on television, beginning with originating the roles of Joe in Merrily We Roll Along and Lenny (among others) in The Rink, before winning a Tony Award for Jerome Robbins' Broadway. He would go on to sing briefly in a number of occasions in his regular role on Seinfeld (notably "Master of the House").
Alexander also sang in both of The Hunchback of Notre Dame films, and played Jacob Marley in 2004's A Christmas Carol. He would go on to make several major stage appearances, including playing Max Bialystock in a touring production of The Producers, the Biblical musical Two By Two and the two person piece They're Playing Our Song as Vernon Gersch.
