Stage & Screen Star Alexander And 'Seinfeld' Co-stars Talk 'Curb Reunion To EW

Stage and Screen star Jason Alexander reunites with his "Seinfeld" co-stars - Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards - in a five-episode storyline of the HBO series, 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' which is written by and stars 'Seinfeld' creator Larry David.

In a new Entertainment Weekly feature, the magazine speaks with the cast about their first onscreen reunion.

"The idea of working with Larry was just too overwhelmingly appealing to me, and [Curb] is such a great show," Jerry Seinfeld says. "There was a little part of me that said, ‘Do we really want to tamper?'...But to hell with it. How much damage can you really do?"

The first scene that the Seinfeld gang shot required them to immediately slip back into their old characters. "Just before we shot that scene, I said to Jerry and Julia, ‘I don't know if I can be George. I haven't tried him on in a while,'" recalls Alexander. "And it was freaky how it just came right back out."
