I was just curious and thinking if George was based on a real person. I know Kramer was a neighbor of Larry David and the Elaine character was based on Jerry's wife. Which leads me to ask if anyone knows anything about George? Was he also a friend of Jerry's like on the show? OR a friend of Larry's? Or was he just completely made up to add to the comedy of the show?

George was actually based ON Larry David. They are so much alike it's scary. Check out some episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

i particularly like it in 'the car salesman' when people keep talking about what a complete loser george costanza was and larry gets all indignant and defensive.

Sorry to bastardize this thread, but what is Curb Your Enthusiasm??? I have never heard of it, and yes we have TV's in Houston

Justin,

Check it out:

Curb Your Enthusiaism

Excellent show. Download a few and check it out.

George was a composite of Larry David and Mike Costanza, who was a school friend of Jerry's. If you ever see a photo of Mike Costanza it's quite eerie how much Jason Alexander looks like him.

Don't forget, George also has a little Ralph Cramdon and Woody Allen in him.

If i didn't know better i'd say he's based on me...i'm not bald...but our personalities are so alike it's scary
