When the credits roll at the begining of Seinfeld, they read:

Jerry Seinfeld Julia Louise Dreyfuss Michael Richards Jason Alexander as George

Does anyone know why JA is the only one who has his character name also listed?

He seems abou equal to the other players in terms of importance and time per show....so why the difference in accreditation?

Ed Knowing its kind of obscure....but it bugs me nevertheless

I think the reason is that Jason Alexander is an accomplished stage actor. So really, he's NOT about equal to the other players in terms of acting ability and experience. There's a whole other thing going on with George...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that explanation from somewhere...

       Later!
