He's like Tony Danza with a drug addiction and hang-on skanks. How cool is Tony Danza? Is he a rockstar from Mars?

Eh-oh...oh-eh...that was uncalled for.

I don't think the question whether a spoiled wild-eyed narcissist who looks like a mummy can truly be considered cool or not is really that interesting. Like I'm sure many people have said already, if he's really as textbook bipolar as he sounds, it doesn't seem like he has any tools to deal with what's in store for him. Other than more drugs.
He does fit the profile of many other 9-11 conspiracy theorists I've encountered on the internet.

Jason Alexander offers his services to ease the public's pain of a world with only one and a half men: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/95jkj6

No offense to the guy, but how did Jason Alexander become the definition of desperation?
The guy seems to be willing to do anything for a buck (Weight Watchers anyone?). I always assumed he could live for life off of Seinfeld syndication royalties alone, but I guess not.
I know he just wants work, but has he done anything remotely good since Seinfeld went off the air?

Nobody from that show has done anything good, except of course the fake reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Kind of a quandary for an actor. Would you:
A) star on the best sit-com ever made for 10 years and become fabulously wealthy
B) Not do that, but also not be typecast and slip into obscurity at 40 and have to do chubby-man diet commercials just because you need something to do
I'd go with A, personally. But I'm not an actor (though I play one on TV).

Your sarcasm/humour detector is horribly broken. You might want to have the language comprehension portion of your brain formatted and re-installed.
Jason Alexander said that he would not only take on the TV role, but he'd also take on the role of Charlie Sheen and stuff his face with coke and teenage Thai prostitutes. He's not serious you see. He's just joking.

I wouldn't say that. Julia Lewis-Dreyfus was in The New Adventures of Old Christine and she won an Emmy and has been nominated for many more since then. Larry David, of course, has Curb.

Tough call. Larry David wasn't technically a star on the show. He was just the random background cameo character or the voice of Steinbrenner.
The New Adventures of Old Christine won Julia Lewis-Dreyfus an Emmy and many nominations but the show was never that big of a success with the public in comparison to most big name comedies.
Sadly, the Seinfeld cast was at it's best in the Curb Your Enthusiasm reunion.

I guess you missed him at the Sudbury Ontario comedy festival then...

At least when Charlie Sheen loses it he doesnt half-ass the job.

I thought Jason Alexander had a pretty good spot as a guest star on Criminal Minds. Did a lot to show his range.

Jason Alexander's an extremely talented stage actor, he's surprisingly a great singer too. He's also a very intelligent man, which is kind of unexpected after knowing him as George Costanza. Unfortunately he suffers from being on one of the most popular shows of all-time, and has become typecast because of it, like the rest of them(althogh Julia's found other success, as mentioned earlier).
And how could anyone not realize he's just joking in that letter? Clearly he's making fun of the fact he could never play Sheen's role of a good-looking womanizer. And of course making fun of Sheen himself.
