Jason Alexander put his acting skills to the test!

THE Seinfeld The star, 64, hilariously shows why Mike's Amazing is the perfect choice for a BLT while playing eight different characters in a new commercial for condiment brand Chefler Foods.

In the new commercial, Alexander begins by looking at a restaurant while dining and asks a waitress, “How's the tilapia?” Alexander, depicting a waitress in a black wig and blue uniform, responds: “Never order tilapia for dinner, baby. »

A voice, which turns out to be a mafia version of Alexander, then gives the same advice, saying: “You never order tilapia for dinner.” »

After a cook in line, also played by Alexander, shouts from the back: “Oh, never!” Alexander, wearing a pink blouse and colorful hair extensions, says, “Eww, never!”

Then the various members of the restaurant tell Alexander to “get the BLT”, the waitress says, “When there's Mike Amazing, you get the BLT.” Alexander then happily adds Mike's Amazing to his sandwich once it arrives at his table.

In a press release, the actor said he decided to participate in the commercial because it “spoke directly to my heart.”

“When I read the script for this character, it spoke straight to my heart. Each character is unapologetic in their own way, which fits perfectly with the authenticity of Mike's Amazing,” he said.

In addition to starring in the new commercial, Alexander is also performing in Chicago Shakespeare Theater's production of Judgment Day.

In the production, which runs through Sunday, June 2, Alexander plays “corrupt and morally bankrupt lawyer” Sammy Campo.

According to a synopsis, after being threatened with “eternal damnation by a terrifying angel after a near-death experience,” Campo “forms an unlikely bond with a Catholic priest who is going through his own crisis of faith.”

The role piqued his interest due to the “compelling” nature of his character.

“Some of the characters I've been asked to play are compelling because their behaviors hide a very vulnerable heart. They are people who care deeply about something and have never been rewarded for their care,” said he declared. Reading poster.
