Seinfeld dominated the small screen for nine seasons in the '90s, and recent rumors suggest that the show about nothing might just be cooking up something fresh. However, if a reboot is in the works, actor Jason Alexander hasn't heard anything about it. From 1989 to 1998, Alexander filled the role of George Costanza, best friend of the titular Jerry Seinfeld. His slippery tongue made George one of the show's most memorable characters, even if those around him had a hard time figuring George out or enduring his cynicism. Fans have recently speculated that a reboot might be in the works, but Alexander has some differing views on the matter.
