The man who played George Costanza is taking over for one of George Costanza’s creators. When Larry David’s play, _Fish in the Dark_, will be extended on Broadway, and Jason Alexander will play Norman Drexel, the role initially inhabited by David.

“I left Broadway 25 years ago because Larry David co-created the show that would change my life and career,” Alexander said in a statement. “It is totally amazing that he also created the show that would bring me back to Broadway. I am thrilled I get to do this hilarious play for him and with this wonderful cast. It is quite simply more fun than any bald man should have.” David, for his part, said: “Needless to say, I was thrilled when I heard he was replacing me in ‘Fish in the Dark.’ Finally I can enjoy the show.”

At a TimesTalks [event](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/14/larry-david-on-his-play-same-character-different-name-same-idiot) earlier this year, David said that the character of Norman, whose father’s death spurs the action of the play, is classic Larry David: “As with most things I write, the main character sounded exactly like me.” Playing a David-esque character shouldn’t be a big challenge for Alexander, whose Seinfeld character also had a lot of Larry in him. (George [has been described](http://www.vulture.com/2015/01/larry-david-fish-in-the-dark.html) as a David “alter ego.”) Alexander is also a Broadway veteran who won a Tony in 1989 for his work in _Jerome Robbins’ Broadway_.

David’s final performance is set for June 7\. _Fish in the Dark_ will now run through July 19 at Broadway’s Cort Theatre.
