Jason Alexander says he went to therapy while starring in “Seinfeld” to cope with the sudden shift from professional success to international celebrity. He described the change as difficult for anyone and said the show brought him a life and opportunities he had never expected.

Growing up in New Jersey, Alexander had focused on a career in theatre and saw Broadway as his goal; he won a Tony Award by age 30.
