JASON ALEXANDER
(George Costanza)
For many Americans who watch television, Jason Alexander is a recognizable and unforgettable face. He regularly appears in every major television market as George Costanza on "Seinfeld," the animated pitchman for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Rold Gold pretzels, and the voice of an animated character in "Duckman."
