You’ve got to be George Costanza.”’ Costanza’s papers do not detail the similarities between him and the loutish George, played by Jason Alexander, but in inter views he has noted that he and George are bald and stocky, went to Queens College with Seinfeld, and have quirks about bathrooms and parking spaces. Costanza, author of a book called “The Real Seinfeld,” also says his high school gym teacher called him ”Can’t-Stand-Ya,” as George’s does. The “Seinfeld” publicists have said that George Costanza was a character based on the show’s co-creator, Larry David. Glenn Padnick, president of Castle Rock Entertainment Inc., said, “George is modeled 100 percent on Larry. I believe Larry has never met Michael Costanza. This is just incredible.” Costanza’s lawsuit accuses Castle Rock and David of libel and slander. Fisher said these charges stem from their calling Costanza a “liar and an opportunist” when instead he was the inspiration for George. International News

The world should count itself lucky that Garrison Courtney decid ed to use his many powers for good, instead of evil.

When asked to list his numerous and varied activi ties, he rolls his eyes, takes a deep breath and starts counting on his fingers. “There are too many people that just sit back and do nothing,” Courtney explained. “I wouldn’t like it if I wasn’t involved in anything.” Aside from juggling his scholastic workload, Courtney currently plays the role of fraternity brother, radio disc jockey, stand-up comedian, cheerleader and part-time model.
