The Emmy Award winner opted for a plaid button-down shirt paired with a black blazer and blue jeans. Alexander kept comfortable in dark sneakers and shielded his eyes with sunglasses. The New Jersey native completed the look with a belt featuring a prominent gold buckle.
Alexander was previously seen out in 2020 while touring Australia.
Behind the Iconic Role
The entertainer played one of the most lovable misanthropes in television history. In 2024, he revealed that his most memorable Costanza moment came from the season three episode titled "The Red Dot," where the character engages in a romantic dalliance with his office's cleaning woman.
"The one that I remember so clearly, because I thought it was so brilliant, was in an episode where George was working at the publishing company and he was having sexual relationships in his office with the cleaning woman and he got caught," Alexander said while appearing on the Australian TV show The Project. "If you're writing that scene and you're going: 'okay I've got this guy George Costanza, what happens next? Whatever you would imagine it wouldn't be what they came up with.'"
Alexander then repeated George's immortal rebuttal: "Is that wrong?" He went on to reveal that the way creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David crafted George's response gave him incredible insight into the character's mind.
"That is the most brilliant try to save your own behind that I could have ever imagined," he said. "When I first saw that script and I saw that was the approach they found, that was a big insight into who that character was for me."
Career Highlights
Seinfeld ran from 1989 to 1998, with Alexander playing Costanza on all nine seasons. The role earned him a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series. He was also nominated for seven consecutive Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and four Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor in Television.
He later made a cameo in the second season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, appearing alongside his former Seinfeld castmates on the HBO comedy helmed by Larry David. Alexander is also well-known for his performances in Pretty Woman (1990), Jacob's Ladder (1990), Coneheads (1993), and Shallow Hal (2001).
