I'm sorry but MJW has been playing himself since day one. Theo was his most differing character and that was mostly MJW too! I'm not trying to hate though so go on and make that money. Hey if I could show up and act like myself with a suit on and get broke off a check for it, I'd do it too. it's still lame though, Theo. Look at George Alexander. His claim to fame is George Costanza and every other role he gets you hear a little George in it. Is there anything special about Tony Clineman? No sir!

I don't apply the "ass backward hip hop mentality" to my life, thanks. I was looking at it from Malcolm's point of view. If you're an actor, let alone a former child actor you take what you can get. So what if it's a little repetitive. I didn't say I thought it was great that people are unoriginal, I hate it, but what choice do they have if they want to keep working in this day and age, especially in the sitcom biz where unoriginality is commonplace.

It's JASON Alexander. Not George Alexander.

He'll always be George. Let's face it.

Yeah, I agree, Jason Costanza isn't getting rid of that character any time soon.
