For the life of me I’ll never understand why Jason Alexander had such a hard time working with Heidi Swedberg. I once saw an interview with him and he said he went up to Larry David and said something like “I just can’t work with this woman. I try and I try, but I get nowhere.” It always seemed to me like they had good chemistry together and their scenes were funny.
I met MS at the food co-op years ago 1989 in Tempe, Az. Before he came into the store, his “people “ came in with strict instructions not to talk to him. He came through my line to pay for his stuff (I don’t remember what he bought) and just said “hi” to him. I think he asked me how I was doing but I too petrified to say much. Before he came through my line , I walked around the store to see if I could spot him.
Its sad that Michael lost his passion. I guess money does that to you when you get more then you can ever spend. Now its just a worthless life surrounded by sychophants and yes men and cheques. He would be bored out of his brain if he couldnt talk to all the people that suck up to him. Not much of a life.
He literally missed the point of her character. She's supposed to be an outsider that is normal next to the main characters and their idiosyncrasies. So the "lack of chemistry" would be intentional.
