Swedberg didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.Īlexander said Thursday in his Twitter post that said the decision to kill off Ross – by licking cheap wedding invitation envelopes tainted by toxic glue – was the inventive out that David and star Jerry Seinfeld were looking for to avoid Costanza getting married and not any reflection on Swedberg. But, I didn’t have that maturity or security,” he said. “If I had had more maturity or more security in my own work, I surely would have taken her query and possibly tried to adjust the scenes with her. On Thursday, however, Alexander said that Swedberg was always willing to do whatever she could to improve her scenes and blamed himself for any shortcomings. “And Larry went, ‘Kabang! Now we’ve got to kill her.’ “ “And Julia actually said, ‘I know it’s, just, don’t you just want to kill her?’ ” Alexander said.
When castmate Julia Louis Dreyfus and others began to interact more with the character, they realized the timing was off, too, Alexander said.
That’s when only he was working with her, Alexander said. “And she would do something, and I would go, ‘OK, I see what she’s going to do I’m going to adjust to her,’ and then I’d adjust, and it would change.”Īlexander told Stern that David and the other actors said he was crazy for thinking scenes with Swedberg weren’t working. “Her instincts for doing a scene, where the comedy was, and mine were always misfiring,” he told Stern.
