Ten Silly Seconds with Jason Alexander, Supervillain

Forget Seinfeld. Much as I enjoy a hearty Festivus celebration, Jason Alexander gets to me the most with his turn as Julia Roberts' character's groping sleaze in Pretty Woman. This guy plays such ripe vermin. How come we never see him go there on the big screen? I asked him recently if he could get evil.

So, when can I see your nasty side again?
Are you trying to get me to hurt you in some way?

Not me! I mean in a movie.
Oh! Oh, in a movie. Absolutely. I thought you were looking for abuse.

Nah, I'm okay.
Yes, I'd be happy to abuse an actress in a movie.

You need a script that lets you go there. What do you look for in a script?
I look for an offer. If they say, We're doing a movie and we'd like you to be in it, that's what I look for. I don't find it all the time. So, when I find it...

I don't buy that.
If and when I get to be picky, I look for a moment. The moment can be dramatic or funny, it doesn't matter. You just need one moment where you think, Oh, I'd like to do that.

What will we see you in next?
Um...men's room.

Oh yeah, right. Jason's next project is The Grand, a poker comedy by Zak Penn that was filmed on location at the Golden Nugget in Vegas. It ain't enough. Give this man more to do, someone, anyone, now!
