This week on Breaking Bread the multi-talented Jason Alexander joins us in the studio! Tom and Jason take a deep dive into Jason’s career - from becoming a professional actor at the age of 15 to the “trifecta” - they discuss how Jason navigated it all! But the real question is - who knows Jerry Seinfeld better - Tom or Jason? Enjoy!
Check out more Jason Alexander on his podcast “Really, No, Really.” and his upcoming film, The Electric State that comes out in March 14.
